Before using the boat

4.1 Registration

In some countries it may be mandatory to register boats of your boat type,
and operating the boat may be subject to qualification and/or minimum age
requirements. Before you begin using the boat, find out whether it needs to be
registered and if it is subject to any other official requirements. Depending on the
policy, boat insurance may cover damage that occurs during the use of the boat,
in transportation or during dry-docking. If you intend to lift the boat, check that your
insurance also covers this. Insurance also has an indirect influence on boating
safety: in the event of a serious accident, it allows you to concentrate on saving
lives rather than property. Detailed information on insurance policies is available
from insurance providers.

4.2 Training

Safe operation of the boat requires prior training and practice. Boating manuals are
widely available, and boating associations and clubs arrange navigation courses.
Books and courses provide good preliminary skills, but mastery of boat handling,
navigation, mooring and anchoring requires many years of practice.
