STRONG
-  also  in  recreational  boating

A  high  level  of  safety  awareness  in
recreational  boating  is  the  best  way
to  ensure  that  water  sports  can  be
enjoyed  without  taking  any  unnecessary ­
  risks.  This  requires  proper
voyage  preparation,  carriage  of
up-to-date  nautical  charts,  and  a

thorough  check-up  of  the  boat  and
its  technical  equipment.  To  be  on  the
safe  side,  recreational  boaters  should
use  the  BSH's  nautical  publications,
especially  its  16  small-craft  chart
series  and  navigational  equipment
bearing  the  BSH  certification  label.

The  BSH’s  special  online  chart
correction  service  with  downloadable
block  corrections,  which  allows  chart
updates  to  be  made  at  any  time,
is  particularly  useful  to  small  craft
operators.  By  using  this  service,
recreational  boaters  exercise  circumspection ­
  and  responsibility  for  their
crew  and  themselves;  to  put  it  briefly:
they  practice  good  seamanship.
