GENERAL INFORMATION
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Irrespective of whether the boat is being used for long cruises or short bathing trips, the
boat should be equipped with the safety equipment listed below. It can, of course, be
supplemented further according to personal tastes. Investigate at regular intervals to
ensure that there is safety equipment on board and that it is in working order.
LIFE-JACKETS for all on board.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER, approved, at least one and installed where it is easy to get at.
DISTRESS ROCKETS and matches. Packed watertight.
FIRST-AID BOX
TOOLS suitable for the equipment on board.
ON BOARD KIT containing, e.g. impeller, etc.
ANCHOR with line.
RADAR REFLECTOR
RADIO for listening to, e.g., weather reports.
COMPASS which is deviated.
BOAT HOOK and paddle.
MOORING ROPES

PREPARATIONS BEFORE STARTING
Make sure that:
There is no FUEL LEAKAGE
There is no WATER LEAKAGE from engine and hull
There is no OIL LEAKAGE
There is no SMELL OF LP-GAS in the deep cavities in the boat or elsewhere
The OIL LEVEL is correct
There is enough FUEL for the planned voyage
The proper NAUTICAL CHARTS are on board for the planned voyage
If there are some other persons on board, make sure that some of them is able to
operate the boat.
If there are persons on board who have never been on a boat before, tell them where the
life-jackets are located and where the fire-extinguisher is placed. Also tell them anything
more you think necessary from a safety point of view. Should something unexpected
happen during the voyage, it is very often too late to tell those on board how safety
equipment works.
