    Here are the rules to follow for peaceful and safe sailing.<\/span><\/p>

    1.1 Know about marine weather<\/span><\/h3>

    Going on a<\/span> sea trip<\/b> without finding out about the weather conditions beforehand can be useless and dangerous.<\/span><\/p>

    Before you leave, go on the M\u00e9t\u00e9o France website to check the <\/span>marine weather<\/span><\/a>. Your safety at sea depends on it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Also, remember to check sea currents and potential dangers in your <\/span>navigation area<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    1.2. Plan on bringing appropriate equipment for a smooth sailing<\/span><\/h3>

    If you are sailing on a vessel of less than 24 meters, you have to bring the <\/span>required safety equipment<\/b>, according to <\/span>Division 240<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

    1.2.1 Different equipment depending on the navigation area<\/span><\/h4>

    Did you know that there are four navigation areas? They can be distinguished by the number of miles that separates them from a shelter (ability to dock or to anchor securely). You can use the following table as a reminder.<\/span><\/p>
