4.2 Insurance
Boat insurance can compensate damage occurring on water or during transport and lifting. Check
who has insurance liability each time when having the boat lifted. Insurance also has an indirect
effect on safety at sea: in the event of a serious accident or damage, you must, above all,
concentrate on saving people. Insurance companies will be able to give more information about
different insurance alternatives. Check who has insurance liability each time when having the boat
lifted or transported!
4.3 Training
No one is a born sailor.
There is plenty of boating literature available.
Navigation courses are arranged by local yacht clubs or national boating associations where you
can gain basic skills.
However, please remember that you only become confident in boat handling, navigation, docking
and anchoring after long practical experience.
