Sailing safety briefing

One of the most important things you should do, as a skipper, is brief your crew about the safety equipment you have on board. In an emergency you will not have time to issue detailed instructions on where the life jackets are stowed. Everyone aboard should know this information even though, like insurance, we hope we never have to use it.
