BEFORE YOU SET OFF...
Familiarise yourself with this owner's manual.
Always check the following before setting off:
* Weather conditions and weather forecast
Consider the prevailing wind force, sea conditions and visibility. Are your boat's
design category and size, as well the skills of the master and crew, adequate
for the waters you are heading to?
* Load
Do not overload the boat. Make sure you balance the load correctly. To
maintain stability, heavy objects should be placed as low as possible.
* Seating capacity
Make sure a life vest is available for everyone. Assign the tasks and duties of
each member of the crew before setting off.
* Fuel
Make sure you have enough fuel – also for adverse weather conditions and
unexpected situations. Make sure that the fuel is of the correct quality.
* Engine and equipment
Inspect the condition of the steering mechanism, electrical equipment and
battery and carry out the daily routine checks described in the engine manual.
Check the overall seaworthiness of the boat: make sure the battery is charged,
check for fuel or water leaks and check all safety and rescue equipment.
Remove any excess bilge water.
* Ventilation
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the fuel compartments to reduce the risk of fire.
Make sure ventilation channels are unobstructed.
* Lashing of cargo and stowage
Make sure all equipment, accessories and luggage items are stowed and will
stay securely in place, even in rough sea conditions and strong winds.
* Charts
Unless you know your route thoroughly, make sure charts are available for a
sufficiently large area.
* Preparations
Agree with your crew which lines each crew member is responsible for
unmooring. Ensure that no mooring ropes or other lines are caught in the
propeller during departure or mooring.
The engine manual provides further information and guidelines related to the engine.
