Every year our volunteer lifeboat crews respond to around 8000 incidents many of which could have been prevented by observing simple safety precautions. Over half of these launches are to leisure craft. So potentially more lives could be saved and fewer lifeboat call outs would be needed if leisurecraft users became more aware of the potential dangers. This guide has been created as part of the RNLI's committment to prevention throuugh sea safety education.Sea Safety The Complete Guide aims to help you enjoy your time afloat safely so that you do not become a rescue statistic.

This booklet is for you to read at home the pdf document can be printed so you can take it with you when you go out on the water. It covers the basiic information you need to consider when going out on the sea.
