THE BOAT
__PAGE 8
2.1.7 Nautical charts
While navigating on unfamiliar waters, ensure that you have nautical charts covering a
sufficiently large area. Even if you are having a chart plotter, you should carry regular
charts onboard. There is always a risk for technical malfunction of electronic devices;
therefore, regular charts are also important.
2.1.8 Safety check of the boat
Check that water-exposed hatches are closed and watertight.
Check that the access door to the electrical compartment (under stern deck) is
closed and locks are tightened.
Make sure that at least one person onboard knows the location of the
firefighting equipment.
Check that bilge water is at minimum, and the electrical pump is working
(manual operation using helm push button).
Check the navigation lights, if you expect darkness
Check for any leakage of water into the boat/fuel from tanks/fuel lines.
2.1.9 Inform about your route
Always inform someone on the shore about your planned route, to enable fast support
in case of problems.
2.1.10 Safety equipment
The sea can be unpredictable. Be prepared by carrying the following equipment, as a
minimum, at all times:
Life jackets for each person onboard
Appropriate weatherproof clothing
Compass
Charts (printed)
Anchor and line
Towing and mooring ropes
First-aid kit and thermal blanket
Bucket
Emergency flares/signals
VHF radio and/or water protected GSM phone (subject to coverage)
