IS YOUR YACHT REALLY SAFE? 7 CRITICAL QUESTIONS

 THE Y / YACHTING HANDBOOK – YACHT CHAPTER PAG. 174   If we have a look to the actual situation in our industry and all the injuries and accidents, unfortunately on many occasions fatal, we can see where the Achilles heel is. If you are in the sea, you must be aware that possible emergencies may arise. There are a few questions that you must know the right answer to in order to set a basic level of safety on board your yacht: Every emergency is a situation in which you have no control over, and eventually it can stem from a lack of preparation. In fact fear of failure, anxiety and confusion can generate chaos and paralyze the victim’s rescue procedures.

A MUST IN YACHT INDUSTRY

Imagine you are a yacht owner and you decide to spend a week with your family on board your yacht. During this unforgettable relaxing week, far away from the chaos and civilization, who do you think is in charge of you and your family’s safety? Who is supposed to act in case of en emergency? Would you expect your crew to be prepared and well trained to manage an emergency on board your yacht and in the water? A professional yacht crew is in charge of the safety and the assistance of all the people on board, and only have basic knowledge of  CPR and the  first aid kits have far too little to ensure the safety  and  the high quality standard that this kind of ship requires. Yachts today sail around the seven seas, crossing oceans and visiting most remote and unknown zones, practicing different activities on board, on land and in the water, with different people, different rules and in many cases in wilderness areas .

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success. We commonly say that lives are invaluable, that saving a life, any life, is worth any effort, any expense. Is it true?   Every emergency is a situation in which you have no control over, and eventually it can stem from a lack of preparation. In fact fear of failure, anxiety and confusion can generate chaos and paralyze the victim’s rescue procedures. Be ready to react! Prepare yourself, your crew and your yacht to handle first-aid emergencies in a professional effective way.
