Pleasure craft operating at high speeds require a greater stopping distance. Operators driving their boats at high speeds should ensure they are able to react effectively in emergency situations, including sudden changes in water, weather and visibility conditions.

Be aware that high-speed operation reduces the amount of time you have to react in an emergency. You should always use caution and be more attentive when operating at high speeds.

Remember: Always operate at a speed that allows you to take effective action to avoid collisions.
