It is a small waterproof and tear-proof book, with plastic pages bound by a spiral, that Éditions Vagnon proposes. Under the heading"Safety on board" is the subtitle"Obligations of the skipper, equipment, maintenance, good deeds". This book, in reality a memo, takes all the precautions to put in place and to know, before setting out to sea.
The reading is very clear with pictos and boxes to highlight specific points. Numerous diagrams and"Rescuers' advice" sections (each marked with SNSM logos) guide the reading.
The texts are deliberately simple and simplified. In this book, we find only the essential. The advice goes beyond regulation and provides information to improve and perform its safety.
Fully laminated, this booklet can remain on board without fear of humidity. Except that it won't have to be read during an emergency, in the middle of a storm when a crew member has fallen into the water... No, this book must be read before boarding, when you are well warm, when preparing your navigation. If the advice is very relevant and must be remembered regularly so that the instructions remain in memory, the possibility of a reading under water or spray is not really a plus in this case. It's not the kind of useful book to have with you in the life raft...
We recommend that all crew members read this book before each cruise. From the skipper who can revise his"classics" to the neophyte crew member who will have a good overview of the dangers on board to fully enjoy the pleasures of the sea without risk.
