CAUTION / SAFETY TIPS
•
Watch for overhead power lines.
Never rig,
trailer or sail the boat near overhead power lines.
Contact with a power line could be fatal.
•
Sail to your experience.
Do not try to do more
than you can. Do not take the Getaway out in the
surf and do not head out for the ocean unless you
are a real professional.
•
Wear a life jacket. Wearing life vests while sailing
is important for everyone. Due to the large number
of novice sailors that have purchased the Getaway,
it is even more important to review this safety
issue. Wearing a life vest is a smart thing to do.
Also, a sailboat could sail away by itself if a person
were to fall overboard. The best advice to a sailor
is to stay with the boat. If they happen to fall
overboard, or when righting the boat, they should
hold onto the boat and not let it get away.
•
Learn the right-of-way rules
and when in
doubt, give way to others.
•
When trailering the Getaway be sure to tie the
boat and all the loose parts to the trailer in a
secure manner. Stop and check the tie downs
often.
•
Hobie Cat does not recommend leaving the
Getaway in the water on a mooring.
Accelerated
wear to the boat and rigging will be experienced.
Damage to the hull material is possible. Limitation
of the mast rotation and tensioning of the rigging
are required to lessen this wear. Inspect rigging
often and tape rigging rings and shackles to prevent
loosening.
