Below mentioned text is copied in July 2020 and applies for fast boats (capable >20 km an hour) for recreational use < 15 meter. Always check for any changes.

The boat: design and equipment

There must be a registration number (the so-called Y number) on both sides of the boat. This must be clearly visible and in a color different than the color of the boat and its size must comply with the legal measurements described in chapter 8 of the BPR.

The engine must be technically in order so that it does not produce (dense) smoke and there is no danger of fire or an explosion.

There must be an effective muffler on the engine’s exhaust that meets the valid regulations about noise nuisance.

The steering mechanism must be well constructed and functional. The boat must have a switch to kill the engine (dead man’s switch) and automatically stop the engine if

the skipper

becomes ill or falls overboard.

There must be a lifejacket within reach of every passenger. There must be a ready-to-use and approved (every two years) fire extinguisher on board. The skipper’s license, the boat’s registration certificate and the BPR (digital is also allowed) must be on

board. The BPR

does not have to be on board a small, open boat.

There must be a suitable boat’s horn or horn on board to give audio signals. It is also advisable to carry a paddle and a ready-to-use anchor suitable for the type and weight of the

boat.

A special folder with an inventory of equipment on board can be found at www.varendoejesamen.nl

I short film how not to make a 3 point turn is visible via the link below. Still it is very useful to watch so you will not make the same mistake(s). Remember 1) Slow is Pro 2) First steer then gear 3) What you put in you have to get out. Know how to use the pivot points of your powerboat correctly.

I have bought most of my safety equipment from Ocean Safety

https://www.oceansafety.com

I do not get any commission from any of the mentioned parties in this document.

Waterproof boxesMost equipment I have is stored in boxes. I use 2 kinds.

1) Hard cases, waterproof, shock resistant, foam protection inside (for example used for the AED , Oxygen unit, Instructor kit and formal papers). I bought most of mine at ekof via https://www.pelicases-shop.nl which offers other brands as well.

2) Clear soft plastic (not subject to cracking or drying out quickly bought at Blokker) with labels on top with content(s).

The boatMake sure it is certified for the waters you use.

CE Categories are A, B, C, D. Minimum requirement for Markermeer/IJsselmeer is cat C.

My XS 700 RIB is a category B boat.

Basics Training for (power)boat ownersBe a 100% sober captain, take safety extremely important and seriously.

Alcohol causes delays in your reaction time, impairs clear judgement of risks. The captain is always responsible, apply “ good seamanship”.

Do not/never go on a ship/boat with a captain who does not practice these principles!

1) Follow a PB 2 course, gain practical and theoretical knowledge2) CEVNI Inland water regulations3) Follow a VHF SRC course, gain practical and theoretical knowledge4) Follow a First aid course, gain practical and theoretical knowledge5) Get your crew trained as well! (one is none, you can not do everything by/on your own)

Continue your training, exercise the maneuvers every time you are on the water.

1) Slow is Pro2) First steer the gear3) What you put in you have to get out

Give crew members tasks/responsibilities (generally they enjoy this), however the tasks must be within their capabilities. Talk to your crew. Can everybody swim, who has a first aid course completed, who has an SRC certificate, what experience do they have etc.?

Do not underestimate children, they can do a lot and often like to have responsibilities (within their capabilities). You can send them for example on a First Aid course and make them responsible for the First Aid kit (but as captain you must always check). Their brains are like sponges, they absorb everything. So, fill their brains with knowledge and good practice of good seamanship.

(2/3/5)

Next step

Buy this book and read it, then start making your requirement/wish list! Always check local laws and regulations so you do comply to them.

RYA Boat Safety Handbook  

(beside the PB2, First Aid and SRC course a pretty good investment you can make!)

I read a lot of the RYA books on different subjects, it is really useful information.

https://www.rya.org.uk/shop/Pages/products.aspx?cat=sea-safety

My equipment (list is not complete) =

Lifejackets = auto inflatable, with spray hood, with automatic emergency light, with cross strap (between the legs) and metal fixings (plastic easily gets broken due to influence of UV light and hot and cold temperature differences). Do not store on the boat but at home, safe from weather/water impact. Wear (you, your crew and guests) the lifejackets all of the time! Beware of corrosion of the CO2 cylinder.

Take a look at the videos regarding life jackets on my YouTube channel, made with the assistance of Nemad Safety.

Kru, minimum of 150 N(ewton) for inland waters. Models change often.

Attached to it, LED flare and mobile VHF with DSC and GPS.

In my neighborhood (in a circle of 500 meters) 2 persons unfortunately died in 1 year (2018) Both alone, 1 fell off the dock against the boat he was working on, hit his head and 1 fell of his slow canal boat and was hit by his own boat (no kill cord used) which was found circling empty in the water. Both unfortunately drowned. Neither were wearing a life jacket…

In 2020 I was told a story by a PB 2 lady student who was an actual MOB of a sailboat, without a lifejacket but survived after being in the water 20 minutes floating under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. After 3 failed attempts (the crew had not been instructed in safety measures) the remaining crew was able to retrieve her in the fourth attempt. At that point, she was cold and losing coordination; the average water temperature in the SF bay is 11 Celsius.

So please buy them, service them yearly and wear them (for yourself and your crew/passengers) with crotch strap.

Under Dutch law you must wear a lifejacket if you are the driver of a motorboat that can go faster than 20 kilometer an hour and have lifejackets on board for all passengers on board. For the passengers they have to be in hands reach. Just wear them all the time, compare it to a seatbelt in your car.

Remember, a MOB is an immediate MAYDAY via VHF DSC. It is not up for discussion. Look at the pre-classified MAYDAY possibilities in your VHF. Do not wait after your own (possibly failing) attempts to recover the MOB. The KNRM need to get there first before they can help, do not waste valuable time. If

you retrieve the casualty yourself, you can always cancel the Distress/MAYDAY (unless medical assistance if required for example due to the cold, drowning, secondary drowning).

VHF Marine Radio (only buy one with DSC and its own GPS is my advice!!!)

Fixed VHF Marine Radio with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and GPS and if you have the money with AIS. I have an Icom with large screen for visibility and DSC/GPS and AIS receiver.

Portable VHF Marine Radio with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and GPS floating and light, always attached to my lifejacket. Have spare batteries on hand!

All my VHF equipment is from Icom (including all the 12 training VHF) bought at

https://www.hamshop.nl/marifoons.html

Prices vary, models change frequently, check the internet.

Phone and apps needed with the KNRM assistance (free) app installed and with filled with your personal and boat

details If you do not have a marine VHF yet, start with this App on your phone and then follow the VHF/SRC course. Let your crew and passengers download it as well before leaving the harbor.

Just do it immediately !!!!!!!!!!https://www.knrm.nl/helpt

BPR app (Binnenvaart Politie Reglement) required by NL law to have on board in paper or digital form on inland waters, Dutch regulations) (paid, a couple of euro)

Navionics Boating navigation app (paid app) RYA books (paid) NV Charts (paid) Vaarwater (for tours in Amsterdam) (free) Red Cross (or similar) for First Aid app, (free)

Anchor(s), I have 2. Complying to RYA/MCA regulations. Look at the schedule further down below in this document. Both foldable, 10 meters of the correct chain and the 25 meters of correct rope. I store them in the bow compartment. I have rubber mats below and on the back of them to prevent damage to the boat when in waves.

A lot of useful info you can find at the RYA website

https://www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/cruising-tips/hints-tips/Pages/anchor-watch.aspx

Drogue/sea anchorI have one on board near the ropes for quick instalment, if required.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_anchor

PLB (Personal Location Beacon) I have an Ocean Safety with flotation covering. Can be attached to the life jacket (and used on land). Sends signal via satellites to Rescue Coordination Center with your GPS coordinates. The SRC course will teach you more on these and more items, like EPIRB, SART, AIS, NavTex.

250/300 euro, check on the internet.

LED Flare; 4 x Ocean Safety, attached to life jacket(s). Visibility up to 7 miles, up to 15 miles in the air, about 115 euros each. Check the internet for prices.

https://youtu.be/kbVYtIk0Q5Q

Flares coastal package (valid expiration date) with leather fire resistant gloves and safety glasses, check my YouTube channel how to use them and their effects. Many different shops sell them. I have a coastal package even on inland water + 2 pinpoint white flares. Prices vary. Check the internet.

Kill cords (of the Original Equipment Manufacturer/OEM) Check in the shop immediately after purchase (before you leave the store!). I have 1 (bought in a legitimate shop) that does not have a cord in it (extremely dangerous, could break in 2 parts without stopping the engine). I have 4 (with cord) on board. If it is very cheap check, it could mean they are not up to specs, but also normal prices do not give a guarantee for correct quality. So please check!! Must be in good working order and be worn around the upper leg tightly (not on your hand/wrist it can tangle with your steer and or throttle and can get easily of).

If you are on board a fast ship that has a substandard killcord (or none!) make the captain aware of the proper equipment and procedures (perhaps (s)he is unaware). Take example of the RYA instructors, KNRM, Water police. If the captain does not correct the fault, leave the ship immediately.

Left Picture Left is fake (no cord inside, no black dot of the actual cord visible)

Right picture Above is fake (no cord inside, thinner, different color, no A grade fixing)

Fire Extinguisher 2 x powder, approved both for saltwater usage, look for the correct SOLAS marking (steer wheel sign). Although a little more expensive, it is what you need on the water, it is better protected to (salt) water, required by SOLAS/MED regulations, Safety Off Lives At Sea/Marine Executive Directive). Serviced yearly! There are also CO2 and foam extinguishers. I advise powder for water situations on an open boat with outboard engine.

For recreational motorboats able to go faster than 20 kilometer an hour it is required to have a good functioning and approved fire extinguisher on board, for private (non commercial) boats serviced once every 2 years. If there is corrosion, replace asap.

If your outboard engine is on fire, leave the hood on (or else is the fire will flare up due to the extra oxygen). Cut off the fuel. Put in the powder via the openings in the hood. When empty, cover with tightly with your fire blanket completely, so no air /oxygen can get in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Knock outSomething I am looking into is the following.

It is a fire knock out system. Available in 2 different sizes. You can throw is into a fire (for example on another boat, like the picture below where an extinguisher cannot be used safely/efficiently) or put it in the cabin or engine of your own boat. It is automatically activated in case of fire, even when you are not there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=325FpXpoAmo&t=136s

https://www.fkofireknockout.com/nl/

Remember fire on board is a distress/mayday situation, call for help immediately with your VHF (equipped with DSC and GPS)!

Fire blanket; 2 x large SOLAS/MED approved. Yes, a little more costly but higher grade due to SOLAS/MED regulations/requirements. Check them every year if they are still in good order.

Rescue slingMany types available, from 70 euro and higher. Just google. Keep in mind, I have not found one yet that can stand UV light and water impact for longer than a couple of years.

Horse shoesI have 2 with light and small sea anchor attached. Starting at 70 euro (including light) and more.

Horn 5 x, often called as a “foghorn”. For use when visibility is bad, not only when it is foggy. Can also, be used for other sound signals. 2 x plastic, 1 metal, one on speaker working on the VHF system and 1 working on compressed air in a cannister. Can be bought at any good shop in a marina. Always have 2 possibilities on board.

Compass 2x, a fixed one and a handheld (last one stored in a box), a large one so I can read the numbers.

About 100 euro

Plotter, GPS separate from VHF, depth sounder, fish finder. However I prefer updated paper charts as primary navigation tool. Electronics can fail and can make you a bit lazy.

I have a relatively older model, modern ones offer increasing possibilities. It’s preferable to be one that can be updated on your boat via wifi. Models change frequently (often yearly).

TPA Thermal Protective Aid(s), 11 on board, 1 used for training, solas /med approved

MOB (Man Over Board) go in it with wet clothes on. Creates 100% humidity, preventing further heat loss due to exposure, patients reheat themselves if possible.

About 20 euro per TPA (The ships wheel sign means it complies to MED regulations)

Torch 3 x (fresh batteries every year) waterproof, SOLAS/MED complying, Morse code ability. Ocean Safety.

Knives 2, 1 floating especially for on boats with a blunt point so less change of tube punctures, 20/30 euro and 1 diving knife.

PlacementEverything needs a specific/designated and well signed place, so you (and others) can always find it. Store items preferably waterproof and UV light resistant and if possible protected from hot and cold variances. I use Dymo labels UV resistant and waterproof to label most items.

Keep in mind, water and UV light, heat and cold differences can ruin anything. Saltwater is even worse than fresh water.

ChecklistMake a checklist of your gear and its location on your boat. Indicate where and when replacement or service/maintenance is needed. Go through the checklist before the start of each boating season and make sure everything is in date for the complete season.

Replace batteries for all equipment every year before the start of your boating season.

Complete the checklist before each trip you make.

Organize your checklist in that way that you start at the front (bow) of your boat and work to the back (stern). That makes checking easier and quicker and the chance of forgetting something is much smaller.

Flag/WimpelBuy a KNRM flag every year for about 10 euros. These are the unpaid volunteers that will safe you on the water 24/7. They receive no money from the government at all; they deserve your assistance. They will assist you for free.

PB 2 students. Remember all the times you did not hold the throttle in one hand but had 2 hands on the steering wheel!

RYA Powerboat, RYA VHF Marine Radio/SRC, RYA First Aid, DAN (Oxygen) First Aid courses

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Aid kit1) Start with the RYA First Aid course (1 day)2) Start by buying a waterproof case (for example Peli, I use similar brand with lower prices, look at

the site below different brand shops)

https://www.pelicases-shop.nl

Buy-a Dutch ‘ EHBO set A ‘ (Google it). I advise without the often offered non waterproof orange case (buy a good waterproof case separately). About 30 euro, good for 3 to 4 years.

This site guarantees validity of contents for a minimum of 3 years

https://www.betervoorbereid.nl/ehbo/ehbo-navulling/navulling-ehbo-koffer-a?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7OCDpvzd6gIVmLd3Ch1qwwTGEAQYASABEgL4LfD_BwE

Check every year before the start of the season the content, replace anything that will not get you through the whole season.

Extend with

Sufficient Nitril gloves + FFP 2 nose mouth mask (Covid 19 protection) for yourself and 3 layer nose mouth mask (Covid 19 protection) for casualty if possible. About 10 euro

Trauma bandage, Between 6 to 10 euro

Flexible SAM splint, different sizes available, similar brands as wel

Motion sickness pills (in date) Sun lotion factor 50 (in date) and sun protective lip balsam 50 (I learned the hard way)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paracetamol, Ibrupufen, Aspirin (all 3 in date), all have different usage! 6 euro Sugar/druivensuiker for diabetics. 50 cents

Extra course + material 1 Follow the DAN Oxygen First Aid & Advanced Oxygen First Aid (in 1 day), you gain more

knowledge and practical knowledge you learn how to correctly use an Ambuballon/Ambubaghttps://safehaventraining.nl/en/dan-courses/

Buy the Ambuballon, approx. 18/30 euro, provides fresh air with 21% oxygen (where mouth to mouth breaths provides 17% oxygen, which is just enough to keep you barely alive). From 17% to 21% is about 24% more oxygen! Imagine getting a pay raise of 24%, would that not make you happy? Your body would appreciate the same oxygen raise if it starts with 17% and is going to 21% 4 times a minute. Normally an adult in rest would take 12 to 20 breaths a minute…..

Extra course + material 2 Follow the Stop the bleeding course, 3 hours

https://safehaventraining.nl/en/first-aid/stop-the-bleeding/

You learn to stop severe bleeding, for example caused by a propeller of your boat Buy a tourniquet or even better a complete “ Stop the bleeding set” about 100 euro. Bought mine

via below mentioned link (connected to VU Academical Medical Center Amsterdam). Be aware, cheap one are often of insufficient quality (spindle can break, substandard string etc.)

Just imagine yourself being stuck alone on a 7 meter open RIB in a broken lock (full of boats and you are not allowed to get of your boat because it will be fixed anytime) for hours and not being able to get some relief. I will not happen to me (again).

Useful tips of students. If you are boiling water on your boat on the water (with waves) always wear your waterproof

jacket. If you spill boiling water due to unstable boat your arms/body is protected against burns

If you are missing any information, found errors etc. please let me know.
