Safe to sail

Article Abstract:

A slight hint of risk is an essential ingredient of the sailing experience, with high seas, strong winds, rocks, floating containers and other boats in the ocean make sailing a risky but adventurous proposition. With experience, ability to cope with dangerous situations is developed but since accidents can neither be anticipated nor prevented, every boat should carry the appropriate safety gear and its crew should know how and when to use it.

Article Abstract:
