Driving
It is easy to drive when the weather is fine and the sea is calm. However, always remember
to keep an adequate lookout. In order to maintain the best possible visibility from the
driver’s position, you should do this:
-
Ensure that passengers do not restrict your visibility.
-
Do not drive near planing speed for long periods, as the bow comes up and reduces
visibility.
-
When visibility is poor, look over the windshield.
-
Remember to also keep a lookout behind you, particularly on shipping lanes.
Use navigation lights in darkness.
Always adjust your speed to prevailing conditions and the environment. Take into account
the following:
-
waves (also consult the passengers on what is a comfortable speed);
-
your own bow wake (greatest at planing speed, smallest at speeds under 5 knots);
-
visibility (islands, fog, rain, driving against the sun);
-
familiarity with the route (time required for navigation);
-
width of the route (other traffic, noise and bow wake near shore).
-
Make sure to always maintain a sufficient distance to avoid collision. The distance
must be sufficient to stop the boat or to take evasive action.
When running at low speed, a planing boat’s directional stability is poorer than at higher
speeds. So be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats.
