Regal 3300 - VESSEL OPERATION; GETTING UNDERWAY

5-1
Vessel Operation
This chapter explores the many phases
of running your vessel from casting off
to docking and handling emergencies.
We cover the basics but suggest you read
other information on the chapter topics.
Also, become familiar with your engine
owner’s manual since many of the items discussed here are found
there in more detail.
