  3. Guiding principles • If students are in the water near to your boat, turn the engine off. • Even if they are not, consider turning the engine off. • Involve the casualties in their rescue. • Holding or raising the tip of the mast may be all that is required if sailors are tired. • Whilst dealing with a rescue, the rest of the fleet may be without cover. Remain alert for them.
