BOARDING
Helpful guidelines when boarding a boat:
• Always step, rather than jump, into a boat.
• Avoid stepping on fiberglass or other potentially slippery surfaces.
• Always board one person at a time.
• Never board while carrying gear. Set the gear on the dock, board the boat
and then pick up the gear.
• It is courteous to always ask for permission to board so the owner/
operator is aware of your presence on the boat.
See the Using the Boarding Platform/Ladder section of this manual for re-boarding
the boat from the water.
