Fleet Safety Briefing<br />

Please don’t forget at any time: <strong>ECC</strong> is a FUN EVENT<br />

Doctors<br />

If any participant is a medical doctor willing to be “on call” in case of an urgent need,<br />

please could he make himself known to the organisers.<br />

Responsibility for Safety<br />

Whilst all involved in the organisation of <strong>ECC</strong> <strong>2012</strong> will do their best to make the event safe, the<br />

responsibility for the safety of each yacht and her crew rests primarily with each skipper.<br />

It is for the skipper to decide whether the boat is fit to sail in the conditions in which she will find<br />

herself. By going to sea, the skipper and crew acknowledge and confirm that the vessel is fit for those<br />

conditions and her crew is competent to sail and compete in them.<br />

Each boat member (i.e. skipper and crew) is entirely responsible for their own safety, whether afloat<br />

or ashore, and the vessel’s sea worthiness. Nothing, whether in this Log Book or in the safety<br />

procedures the committee may implement or communicated anywhere else - shall reduce this<br />

responsibility.<br />

Crew Briefing<br />

Skippers should give their crew a safety briefing as soon as possible and certainly before leaving the<br />

marina. All crew members should be aware of the locations of lifebelts, fire extinguishers, first aid kit<br />

and flares, how the heads (toilets) and holding tanks are operated, how to prepare for rough weather<br />

and how to use the gas supply safely. Each skipper should make him/herself and the Commodore<br />

aware of any medical conditions his/her crew have that would affect the crew members’ safety (e.g.<br />

epilepsy, diabetes, heart conditions, etc.). Such information will be treated as confidential. Most<br />

importantly, the crucial importance of holding on to something solid so as not to fall overboard must<br />

be stressed!<br />
