Maritime Questions › Yacht — REG Code Fundamentals
A guest wishes to use the yacht's swim platform and boarding ladder for swimming while the vessel is at anchor. What safety considerations does the crew need to actively manage, beyond simply allowing access?
A. It is sufficient to post a single static warning sign near the platform, with no ongoing crew supervision required
B. No active management is needed once the platform is lowered; guests are entirely responsible for their own safety
C. Propulsion/thruster isolation is unnecessary as long as the engines are simply at idle
D. A lookout/safety watch for swimmers, confirming the propulsion/thrusters are secured against accidental engagement, checking for current/marine life hazards, and having rescue equipment and a means of recovery ready before guests enter the water — not simply opening the platform and walking away
