Typical hazards & measures
Rocks
— Conduct thorough surveys of sailing areas to identify rock hazards, mark or avoid rocky areas, provide training on navigation to avoid rocks, use protective boat features such as keels or bumpers, and supervise participants closely in areas with rocks.
Strong winds and rough conditions
— Monitor weather conditions before and during the session. Cancel or postpone sailing in unsafe conditions. Teach participants how to reduce sail area and handle the boat in strong winds.
Strong currents or tides
— Plan sessions according to tidal conditions and provide instructions on how to sail in currents. Ensure safety boats are on standby and participants know how to signal for help.
Faulty or poorly maintained equipment
— Perform regular equipment checks, including rigging, hulls, and safety gear. Remove defective equipment from service until repairs are made. Educate participants on how to inspect and report equipment issues.
Inadequate supervision
— Maintain appropriate instructor-to-participant ratios, ensure instructors hold relevant qualifications, and conduct regular headcounts to avoid participants being left unsupervised.
