It is always easiest to help a person climb inboard from the water at the stern of the boat. A
rope loop attached to the boat helps lifting. The boats' swim ladder extends 30 cm into the
water. If a child has fallen overboard, an adult with a life-saving device or a fender must
always jump after the child, but someone must always remain onboard the boat.
It’s very important to have visual and talking contact to person in man overboard situation.

Securing of loose equipment
Secure safely all heavy equipment, like anchors, before leaving the quay

Respect for environment
Archipelagos and lakes are unique and their conservation is a matter of honour for boaters,
too. Therefore you should avoid
- fuel and oil leakages
- emptying garbage and waste into the water or on the shore
- letting detergents and solvents get into the water
- loud noise on the water or at marinas
- producing unnecessarily high wash in narrow passages and shallo waters.
Service the engine well and run it economically, which also keeps exhaust emission low.
We all have public right of access to nature, which means that we can enter somebody else's
land, with the exception of the yard, provided that we do not cause any damage or
inconvenience. This right also includes public access to waterways, and temporary anchoring,
swimming and going ashore at unoccupied places, provided that it is not expressly and
officially forbidden. Anchoring near occupied beaches is forbidden. Also you are not allowed
to moor your boat at a private jetty, or inhabited shore without permission.
You may camp in a tent on islands provided you do no harm to the property or disturb the
property owner. Camping in a tent is forbidden near yards and cultivated fields. You may
light a fire if you have the landowner's permission. Boaters may also pick wild berries and
mushrooms, as long as they do not damage trees or nature.
Check environmental regulations of your own country and area.

Anchoring, mooring and towing
Moor your boat always carefully, also in sheltered places, because the conditions can change
rapidly. Mooring lines should be equipped with absorbers to smoothen the tension. To prevent
abrasion, use fenders that are large enough. The strong points for mooring are shown in your
boat models figure, from Chapter towing.
The breaking strength of lines for mooring, towing and anchoring shall not exceed 80% of the
breaking strength of the respective strong point. The breaking strengths of strong points are
shown in your boat models figure. It is the owner’s/operators responsibility to ensure that
mooring lines, towing lines, anchor chains, anchor lines and anchors are adequate for the
