Let the skipper know, in advance, of any health problems that could potentially arise while under sail and away from regular medical care. Included in this are diabetes, heart conditions, muscle and joint problems, asthma, epilepsy, severe allergic reactions, use of any psychotropic medications, etc. |
When moving about the boat, stay low and make deliberate movements. Be alert to deck obstacles (deck fittings, lines, etc.) that might trip you or cause you to lose your footing. |
