Sailing, like most activities, does have some possible dangers. Knowledge, preparation and care, can help prevent most serious problems. Consider the following ideas when preparing for your sailing adventure.

Evaluate Skill Levels
Consider the experience level of those participating, age, strength and understanding of first aid. Going out on the community lake verses taking on the ocean are obviously opposite conditions. Getting in over your head can lead to inadequate skill and knowledge necessary for sailing conditions or unexpected events. Although most situations can easily be handled, such a scraps and abrasions, others take more judgement and knowledge. Having clear thinking, good judgement and experience cannot be overrated. Make sure those participating are able to handle the situations that may arise.
