WINDSURFING is the
fastest growing water
sport in the world.

And, in Canada, with our
cold water and = rapid
changes in the weather it can
also be dangerous. That's
why Red Cross Water Safety
Service would like to make
recommendations which can
make boardsailing enjoyable
and safe for experienced
sailors and novices alike.

A sailboard is classified as
a vessel and every person is

sailors to follow the basic
rules of the road.

*Always pass on the right
when approaching or over-
taking an on-coming craft.

elf both vessels have the
boom on the same side, the
one most downwind has the
right of way (leeward rule).

*Boardsailors must not
always assume that they can
be seen from another craft
or that the other craft can
manoeuver out of their
course.

eAlways be aware of local
hazards such as tides, cur-
rents, wind and weather con-
ditions.

*Know your personal
limits. Don’t overextend
yourself.

*Always sail with a fnend
for support in case you can't
continue.
