Docking/Berthing  Stay Focused   Launching
boat061 Boats don't have brakes!
And worse still, they are more often than not affected by tidal pull and wind. These elements can all make for a potentially complicated situation.
boat062 Once out in the open water
You need to keep your focus and don't let friends or family distract you. There are lots of hazards like other boats, buoys, skiers and swimmers.

There are plenty of hazards
Simple things like leaving the bung in the car, forgetting to untie the boat from the trailer and not using your handbrake when getting out of the car.
  Tips from Marine Safety NSW...

Setting Off

Start your engine, allowing it to warm up before you set off. Untie any mooring ropes from the jetty or wharf, leaving them tied to the boat, coiled and ready for future use. Make sure all ropes are inside the boat and not trailing in the water where they can be caught in the propeller.

Check that the area is clear of traffic before moving away, taking note of any speed limits or ‘no wash’ signs that may be in the area. Be careful not to create excessive wash when passing anglers (people fishing), passive craft or moored boats to avoid rocking them about.

Keep to the right side of the channel (see the section on Navigation Markers for more information).
