#6.3 The operator is able to: A: Depart the boat... B: by disembarking using three points of contact.
Understanding the Element
• The trip is not over until all people are off the boat and safely on land. This process often includes removing gear from the boat.
• As with boarding, disembarking from a boat can be a source of falls and injuries. This simple action can cause significant safety issues or loss of equipment if done inappropriately.
• “Three points of contact”: Sitting, and using feet and hand holds, can all be considered as points of contact.
Designing Instruction • Causes for falls and equipment losses include an insecure boat-to-pier attachment and attempting to disembark while the boat is in an unstable condition.
• Role modeling by the instructor contributes to establishing student behavior patterns.
