To avoid accidents at sea, a set of seawater rules has been prepared, which it is important to familiarize yourself with before setting out on the sea.
THINK SECURITY
Familiarize yourself with the boat; considering how many people are allowed to be on board, or total weight. Remember that in small boats it is important to keep the center of gravity low and avoid standing upright in the boat. Think about unforeseen situations that may arise. Keep the boat clean and tidy.
BRING THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
Klepp hook that makes it easier to get the fish up in the boat, paddle – dredge – rope and cast line. Check that the bilge pump is in order. Familiarize yourself with where the SOS function is located and how it works. GPS / map and compass – learn to use them. Some first aid equipment is not out of the way in case of damage.
RESPECT WEATHER AND WATER
Follow the weather forecast before you go to sea. Also inquire about current local conditions and special reasons you should be aware of.FOLLOW THE SEA ROUTE RULES
The rules of the sea are the rules of the sea. These mean that you have a duty to give way for boats coming from starboard (right) and for boats you catch up. Motorboats have a duty to give way to sailboats. Pleasure boats have a duty to give way to utility vessels. If you are closer to 50 meters from land, the speed must not exceed 5 knots. Adhere to local speed limits. Our boats have no lanterns and are not intended for use in the dark. All persons born after 1.1.1980 must have a boat driver’s license to drive boats larger than 8 meters or have an engine larger than 25 hp.WEAR LIFE VEST OR FLOAT GARMENTS
Floating equipment is mandatory for everyone on board the boat, be especially careful with equipment for children. Stay by the boat if it capsizes, or man overboard – call for help.BE RESTED AND SOBER
The alcohol limit is 0.8 when you are on board a boat, and being rested means that you handle unforeseen situations in a better way.SHOW RESPECT
Report where you are going and how long you will be away. Safety, the environment and well-being are a shared responsibility.
