SHARING
THE WATER
You have to share the water with many other
craft. To help you enjoy your time at sea,
learn to do so responsibly:
• abide by speed limits in restricted areas
• know the collision avoidance rules
(International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea (IRPCS) or rules of
the road)
• keep away from canoeists, divers
and anglers
• be aware of the effect of your wash,
particularly when close to other boats
• slow right down through anchorages
• avoid all areas with swimmers
• don’t throw rubbish into the sea, or spill
petrol or oil
• stay away from buoys, pots and markers
being used by local fishermen or divers
• be aware of the side effects of any
medication
• alcohol will impair your judgement. It is as
irresponsible for a skipper and crew to be
in charge of any craft under the influence
of alcohol as it is to drive a car under the
influence of alcohol. The use of recreational
drugs is equally dangerous and irresponsible.
Do you know who has right of way?
