Safety advices
¾Whether on land or on the water, watch for overhead power lines. Contact with power lines can cause serious injury or death.
¾DO NOT sail while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs

¾Everyone on board should wear a life jacket at all times.
¾If you are in the water, remain in contact with the boat, even if it is capsized. A sailboat can drift away faster than a person can swim.
