Hello dear friends, thank you for choosing us. In this post on the solsarin site, we will talk about “when is a lookout on a vessel required”.
Stay with us.
Thank you for your choice.
Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.
As boat captain, it’s your responsibility to maintain an unobstructed view from the helm.
Remember what Mom taught you, where the sidewalk met the street? “Stop, look and listen before you cross the street. Use your eyes, use your ears, and then use your feet.”
Change stop to prudent speed, eyes and ears to all available senses and aids.
and feet to throttle, and you’ve got a pretty good condensation of Rule 5 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, the granddaddy of boating rules.
Rule 5 requires that every vessel “shall at all times maintain a proper lookout by sight .
and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.”
It means maintaining an unobstructed view from the helm, to continuously eye waters off the bow.
It means adjusting boat-handling for conditions such as darkness, fog, and boat traffic. Mom told you to stop at the street; on the water, slowing might be a sound strategy when lookout work gets difficult.
You can designate a lookout helper, and he or she can be a real safety asset, but you’re still responsible.
You just know that if Mom had binoculars, night vision devices, radar, sonar, a VHF radio and other aids to safe street crossing, she’d have included them in the rhyme. If your boat has equipment such as radar, radio or other gear, Rule 5 requires you to use it to help avoid collisions.
(Common sense dictates that you don’t let other equipment, such as smart phone or stereo, distract you from a proper lookout.)
Mom’s advice was a solid start, for any boater.
Rule 5 takes it a step further: in short, it says watch to make sure you don’t hit anything, and that nothing hits you.
Vessel (TKA) is a structure and visitor attraction built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City, New York. Built to plans by the British designer Thomas Heatherwick, the elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. Vessel is the main feature of the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Hudson Yards Public Square. Funded by Hudson Yards developer Related Companies, its final cost is estimated at $200 million.
