Boating Safety
- Make sure all the equipment is well-maintained
- Take a course of qualified instruction before going out in a boat
- Inform someone where you are going and your estimated time of return
- Always wear an approved flotation device e.g. buoyancy aid/ life jacket
- Wear layers of warm clothing with waterproof outer garments and non-slip footwear
- Learn emergency capsize and ‘man overboard drills’
- Check the weather before going afloat as conditions at sea can change suddenly
- If you capsize stay with the boat, you will be spotted more easily
- Keep fingers away from the edge when manoeuvring close to other boats or jetties
- If at sea carry a means of raising the alarm, e.g. red flags, orange smoke, flares, whistle blasts or radio maydays.
