BOATING SAFETY

1-9

CRUISING LIMITATIONS

• Scan constantly for people, objects, and other

watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your

visibility or block your vision of others.

• Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a

safe distance from people, objects, and other

watercraft.

• Do not follow directly behind other boats.

• Do not go near others to spray or splash them with

water.

• Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it

hard for others to avoid you or understand where

you are going.

• Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow

water.

• Operate within your limits and avoid aggressive

maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control,

ejection, and collision.

• This is a high-performance boat – not a toy. Sharp

turns or jumping waves or wakes can increase the

risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis), facial injuries,

and broken legs, ankles, and other bones. Do not

jump waves or wakes.

• Do not operate the boat in rough water, bad

weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to

an accident causing injury or death. Be alert to the

possibility of bad weather. Take note of weather

forecasts and the prevailing weather conditions

before setting out in your boat.

• Leave a “float plan” with a responsible person on

shore. Tell where you plan to go and when you

plan to arrive, and provide a description of your

boat. Advise this person if your plans change and

also when you arrive to prevent false alarms. A

sample float plan is included in this manual.
