Thinking about buying or insuring a boat in Preveza Greece??

Drowning

Every year at the seaside and on lakes, rivers and canals people drown. Please ensure that tragedy does not mar your holiday on the Norfolk Broads. Never take risks that may result in you falling in. Always hold on to grab rails when walking around the decks. Non swimmers should stay in the cockpit while the boat is in motion and wear a life jacket available from the boat yard. Remember racing crews all wear them! If anyone falls in get help to them quickly by hooking their clothes with a boathook, by throwing the boats life ring, by getting to them by dingy; or -only if you’re a strong swimmer- by getting promptly into the water yourself to rescue them. Be wise-work out on the first day of your holiday by having a safety drill for everyone on board, and a rescue plan in case anyone falls in.
