Tips To Be Safe On Your Boat
Posted in Boat Parts
It’s always good practice to have good safety procedures when aboard on a boat. Here are a few tips to help keep you safe.
Check the weather
ALWAYS check the weather before you depart. If it suddenly gets darker and winds are more volatile, then get yourself off the water.
Make a float plan
Make sure to let someone else know your float plan. This should include location of travel and time. Include your boat type, reg information, names of all passengers etc.
Avoid alcohol
Please be safe and avoid alcohol, which can be saved for after the trip. The percentage of boating accidents increase when alcohol is involved.
