Conclusions

• Boating is getting safer over time
• Sailing is pretty safe compared to other
  activities
• Drowning is the problem
• Head injuries are no picnic, either
• Wearing flotation is a big part of the solution

So how does this apply to Transpac?

• This summer, 5-10 boats will arrive in Honolulu
  (or Hilo) and will report the following
• Lost our rudder/steering
• Lost our rig
• Couldnt start the engine/couldnt report pos.
• Couldnt use the head
• Lost half our water by Catalina
• Ran out of food/had to eat crackers w/mustard for
  2 days

Dont be one of those boats!

Whats important

• Dont infect your crewmembers
• Wash your hands keep clean
• Teach your crew how to avoid trauma/head injuries
• Take good boats to sea that wont have hull or
  rig failures
