A number in parentheses indicates
2、 the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides guidelines and procedures for the operation, maintenance, and inspection of parasail vessels,equipment, and associated activities including cre

Significance and Use3.1 The purpose of this standard is to establish procedures for water based parasailing activities.4. Weather Monitoring and Limits4.1 Vessels used for parasailing operations shall be equippe
7、d with a weather monitoring device.4.1.1 The device may be fixed or portable, provided it is accessible by the vessel Master at the vessels operating console.4.1.2 The device shall be electronic with a visual display.4.1.3 In restricted locations such as manmade lakes, the weather monitoring device,
8、 under 4.1, may be located within theimmediate proximity of the operating area provided it is continually monitored by a company employee available to provideupdated weather information to the vessel Master via radio or cellular phone.4.1.3.1 A VHF radio, alone, is not acceptable for weather monitor
9、ing.4.2 The vessel Master shall check and remain cognizant of current and forecasted weather conditions for the area of operationand account for the weather conditions for the duration of the parasail set (the “onboard” group of passengers on a parasail vessel).4.3 Weather LogThe vessel Master shall
10、 maintain a weather log.4.3.1 Log entries shall include: wind direction, wind speed, wave height, and sky conditions. A sample weather log is providedas enclosure (see Appendix X1).4.3.2 A weather log may be in any format with the weather information recorded manually or electronically.4.3.3 A legen
11、d shall be provided for any coded or abbreviated log entries.4.3.4 Log entries shall be recorded directly by the vessel Master or may be relayed to another crewmember aboard or companyemployee ashore for permanent recording.4.3.5 Weather conditions shall be recorded by the vessel Master at the start
