Safety Brief

A) The deck of the Boat can be extremely hot in summertime and bright sunshine. Passengers are strongly recommended to wear appropriate deck shoes, and refrain from walking bare footed on the deck.

B) The deck can be slippery if it gets wet. Passengers are strongly recommended to wear appropriate deck shoes, and refrain from walking bare footed or in flipflops or slippers on the deck.

C) The Boat can become an unstable place to walk in higher winds or waves. Passengers are advised to remain seated in the cockpit and avoid walking on the deck. If in walk, Passengers must always hold on a fixed element of the rig, such as shrouds and safety rails – and never on loose ropes.

D) Even in mild winds nausea and dizziness may develop if staying down in the cabin for a longer time. Passengers are strongly advised to spend as little time as necessary down to avoid such inconvenience.

E) Exposure to direct sunlight might lead to sunstroke, heat shock and dehydration. Passengers are strongly recommended to bring appropriate sun protective items, such as hats, caps, sunglasses, sunscreens and clothes that provide adequate UV protection.

F) Ropes, lines and sheets running through winches and tackles can drag fingers and cause severe injuries. Passengers must not under any circumstance touch such equipment.

G) Running ropes, lines and sheets can cause severe burning injuries on the bare hand. Passengers must not under any circumstance touch such equipment bare handed.

H) The swinging boom (the lower horizontal edge of the main sail) can cause severe head injuries. Passengers must pay good attention at all times to the position and movement of the boom. The best possible precaution is to stay out of the height of the boom.

I) It is strictly forbidden to jump from the deck into the water. Bath in the lake is possible only upon full stop of the Boat, lowering the sails, dropping the anchor, and upon the explicit permission of the skipper. It is strictly prohibited to go into the lake until the engine comes to a complete halt. Bath is only allowed at the stern of the Boat, on the lowered bath platform and safety ladder. Bath must be interrupted, and Passengers must return to the Boat promptly upon the skipper’s instruction.
