4.2 Insurance
Depending on the policy, boat insurance may compensate for damage occurring
while using the boat, during transportation or during dry-docking. Please check
the scope of your insurance policy when recovering your boat. Insurance also has
an indirect influence on boating safety: in the event of a serious accident you can
concentrate on saving lives rather than property. Detailed information on insurance
policies is available from insurance providers.
4.3 Training
Safe operation of the boat requires prior training and practice. Boating manuals are
available widely, and various boating associations and clubs arrange navigation
courses. Books and courses provide good preliminary skills, but mastering boat
handling, navigation, mooring and anchoring requires many years of practice.
