Important Note:
Whilst Access Dinghies have inherent design features ensuring maximum
stability thereby reducing the chance of capsize, it should be remembered
that these are small sailing dinghies and under certain weather, water and
sailing conditions sensible precautions should be taken :
Always reef the sails according to the weather conditions.
Always have a manned safety boat in the sailing area.
Always cancel sailing activities if inclement weather conditions dictate.
The safety of the sailors should come first under all circumstances.
