Introduction

Boating is becoming more popular each and every year.
There are numerous types of recreational vessels on our
waterways today involved in an every growing number
of activities. Therefore, as a Regal yacht owner it is of the
highest priority to learn about general boating practices
before operating your yacht.
Your Regal yacht dealer will answer many questions and
provide valuable “hands on” information during the
completion of the new boat delivery process. In addition,
your dealer has received special factory training on the
product line and his services should be employed to solve any
technical problems and periodic maintenance beyond the
scope of this manual. Also, your Regal yacht dealer carries
a line of factory approved parts and accessories.

Your Regal yacht dealer can provide information regarding
national training organizations such as the U.S. Power
Squadron and United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Along
with other organizations and literature, they can help build
your “boating savvy” by developing the necessary skills and
awareness to be a safe and confi dent skipper.
Also, your local library can assist in providing recommended
boating literature such as Chapman Piloting Seamanship &
Boat Handling by Elbert S. Maloney.
Also, boating information is available on the internet.
Remember, waterway conditions can change in a heartbeat.
Knowing how to react quickly comes from experience and
knowledge which can be gained through boating education.
Welcome aboard!

Introduction

GENERAL INFORMATION

HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
(HIN)

The United States Coast Guard has established a universal
system of numerically recognizing vessels by using a hull
identifi cation number or “HIN.” This number identifi es
your Regal yachts’ model, hull number, month and year of
manufacture. The HIN is normally found on your yacht’s
transom, on the starboard side, just below the rub rail on
the transom vertical surface. The HIN is stamped on a plate
and reinforced with a special adhesive. The HIN consists
of 12 alpha or numeric characters.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the
HIN for future reference. It can be especially useful when
ordering parts from your Regal yacht dealer. A second HIN
number is found in a hidden location. This second HIN
is useful to authorities if the vessel is stolen and/or the
original

transom HIN is modifi ed or eliminated.

VESSEL INFORMATION SHEET

It is recommended that you fi ll out the information on the
following page. It will supply vital statistics on your vessel.
Make a copy of the data for safe keeping at home.

VESSEL FLOAT PLAN

Formulate the fl oat plan on the following page before
departing. Leave it with a responsible person who will notify
the United States Coast Guard or local law enforcement
authorities if you do not return as planned. If you change
your plans be sure to notify this person. Make copies of
the fl oat plan and use one each time you go boating. This
will help people know where to fi nd you should you not
return on schedule. Do not fi le the fl oat plan with the
United States Coast Guard.

GENERAL BOATING SAFETY

We understand that you are eager to go boating. However,
we strongly suggest that you thoroughly familiarize
yourself and friends or members of your family with safe
boating practices before setting out.
Remember, that along with the freedom and exhilaration
of boating comes the responsibility that you have for the
safety of your passengers and other boaters who share
the water with you.
Boating regulations vary from state to state. Check with
your local state and local authorities for the regulations
pertaining to your area.

Check with local FM weather stations, U. S. Coast Guard,
or on-line for the latest weather conditions. Remember
getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Check
weather conditions periodically while you are boating. If
you are forced to operate your boat in a storm condition,
take common sense precautions; wear PFD’s, store gear,
reduce speed and if possible head for safe refuge.

IF A LABEL BECOMES ILLEGIBLE,

CONTACT YOUR REGAL DEALER

FOR ORDERING REPLACEMENTS.

It is best to avoid operating your boat in foggy weather.
When fog sets in, take bearings, log courses and speeds.
You are required to emit a fi ve second blast from your horn
or whistle once every minute. Also, have your passengers
wear PFD’s and observe for oncoming vessels.

Operation in shallow water presents a number of hazards
including sand bars and water levels infl uenced by tides.
If the vessel strikes an underwater hazard, check for boat
and engine damage. If the engine vibrates excessively
after striking an underwater obstruction, it may indicate
a damaged propeller. If you run aground, seek help by

radio or fl ares.
Make sure your boat and equipment are in top condition.

Do this by frequently inspecting the hull, engine and
propulsion components.

Safety On Board

You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal
fl otation device (PFD) for every person on board. These
PFD’s should be in good condition and easily accessible.

Insist that non-swimmers and children on board wear
a PFD at all times. If you encounter rough weather
conditions, make sure everyone on board is wearing a
PFD, including yourself. Instruct your passengers in how
to put on their PFDs and be sure they know their storage
location on the boat. Remember, in an emergency, a PFD
that cannot be quickly located and worn is useless.

Never allow anyone to sit anywhere on the boat not
specifi cally designed as seating. While underway, ALWAYS
insist passengers sit in a seat and set an example by doing
this yourself.

Never drink and drive! As captain,
you are responsible for the safety of
your passengers. Alcohol and boat­ing can be a dangerous combina­tion. DO NOT mix them. Alcohol
impairs the boat operators ability to
make conscious decisions and react

to emergency situations quickly.

Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow any
smoke or fl ame nearby while you are fueling. ALWAYS
check for fuel leaks and fumes when fueling is completed.

Be certain there is enough
fuel aboard for your cruising
needs. Include any reserve

that might be needed should
you change your plans due
to weather or an emergency.

Practice the “one-third
rule: Use one-third of your

fuel going out, one-third to

return and retain one- third as a reserve.

Always check the weather before departure. Be particularly
cautious of forecasted electrical storms and high winds.

Always have up-to-date charts aboard as a back-up to your
plotter and auto pilot option. Charts can be obtained at
your closet marina, on-line store or by contacting one of
three federal government agencies.

Always fi le a fl oat plan. Leave details of your trip with
someone responsible who will be remaining on shore.
Include expected return, plus name and phone number
of a contact person in case of emergency.

Never overload your boat! An overloaded boat, or one
with uneven weight distribution can be diffi cult to steer.

Use care, courtesy and common sense when launching,
docking or operating your boat.

Learn and obey the “Rules of the Road”. A weather
resistant placard copy of the “Rules of the Road” is included
in the on board Regal information packet. Additional
information can be obtained from the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary or your local Power Squadron organization.
In case of emergency know the international distress
signals for your VHF radio. The spoken word
“MAYDAY” is the international signal of distress and
is for emergency use only. Under no circumstances
should this word be used, unless there is danger at hand.

Chapter 2

Posted speed limits, swimming areas, “no wake” zones
and other restrictions should be red-fl agged. They are so
noted for a reason. Sensible boat use, plus courtesy, equals
enjoyable and safe boating.

It is your responsibility to stay abreast of all federal, state
and local rules, as some laws or regulations may change or
be different from state to state. Contact your local boating
agencies for updated information.

We can not stress safety enough! Remember, there are
no brakes on your boat, and the water current and wind
velocity both affect your ability to respond. The operator
must use caution at all times to maintain control of his
vessel and especially to keep a safe distance from other
boats and obstacles.

Always keep all safety gear in optimum condition. Pay
special attention to attached tags and plates indicating
expiration dates on equipment such as fi re extinguishers,
and personal flotation devices. Encourage a periodic
maintenance check on all safety equipment. Contact your
Regal dealer or marine professional for more information.
Again, remember that the captain is responsible for his
crew, passengers and vessel.

REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES

All personal flotation devices (PFD’s) must be Coast
Guard approved, in good working condition, and must
be the correct size for the wearer. All PFD’s must be
readily accessible. This means being able to wear them in
a reasonable amount of time in case of an emergency (fi re,
boat sinking, etc.). They should not be stored or locked in
closed areas. Also, make sure that all coverings are removed
such as plastic from any PFD’s. Throwable devices such as
a ring buoy need to be available for immediate deployment.
A PFD should be worn at all times when your boat is
operating on the water. A PFD may save your life, but it
must be worn to do so.

As a minimum U. S. Coast Guard requirement all
recreational boats must carry one type I, II, III,
or V PFD (wearable) for each person aboard. See

the explaination following for each type. For type V to
be counted they must be used according to the label
instructions. In addition, all boats over 16’ must carry

one Type IV (throwable) PFD.

Some states require that PFD’s be worn by children of
specifi c ages at all times. Check with local and state boating
agencies for particular requirements in your state before
taking children on the water. Child life jackets are classifi ed
by the child’s weight and should like all life jackets be sized
before being purchased.
Remember PFD’s will not necessarily keep you from
drowning, even though they are designed to keep a person
from sinking. When purchasing PFD’s make sure it safely
fi ts the person wearing it. It is a good idea to test PFD’s in
a lifeguarded shallow pool before venturing on the water.

TYPE II PDF

BUOYANT VEST

Refer to the USCG minimum equipment requirements
at the end of this chapter. It is meant to be a guide only.
Contact state and local agencies for additional equipment
requirements. Remember as the captain of your vessel you
are responsible for its safe operation.

TYPE I- Also known as an off­shore jacket, it provides the most
buoyancy. It is a PFD for all
waters and is especially useful in
rough waters where rescue may
encompass additional time. It is
designed to turn most unconscious

users in the water to a true face-up
position. Type I PFD is available in adult & child sizes
Buoyancy minimum poundages are 15.5 adult, 11 medium
child, and 7 for small child and infants.

TYPE II- Also known as

near-shore buoyant vest, it is

recommended for calm, inland

water where rescue time will

be minimal. It will turn some

unconscious people face-up in the

water but not as numerous as Type

I. They use the same buoyancy

minimum poundages as the type I PFD’s.

TYPE III- Known as a fl otation
aid it is good for calm, inland
water or where there is a chance
for quick rescue. It is designed so
wearers can place themselves in a
face-up position in the water. The
wearer may have to tilt their head

back to avoid face-down positions.
Type III offer the same buoyancy minimum poundages
as the Type II. They are generally the most comfortable
for continuous wear. Float coats, fi shing vests, and vests
featuring designs for various sport activities are examples
of Type III.

TYPE IV- Intended for calm,
inland water with heavy vessel
traffi c, where help is constantly
present. It is designed to be thrown
into the water for someone to grab
on to and held until rescued. It is
not designed to be worn. Type
IV includes ring buoys, buoyant

cushions, and horseshoe buoys.

TYPE V- Also known as a
special use device this is the least
bulky of all PFD’s. It contains
a small amount of inherent
buoyancy, and an inflatable
chamber. It is rated even to
a Type I, II, or III PFD (as
noted on the jacket label) when

infl ated. Some Type V devices
provide signifi ciant hypothermia protection. Varieties
include deck suits, work vests, board sailing vests and
Hybrid PFD’s. Remember that this Type V type PFD may
be carried instead of another PFD only if used according

to the approval condition on the label.

Note: A water skier or wakeboarder is considered on

board the vessel and a PFD is required for the purposes
of compliance with the PFD carriage requirements. It is
advisable and recommended for a skier or wakeboarder to
wear a PFD designed to withstand the impact of hitting the
water at a high speed. “Impact Class” marking on the label
refers to PDF strength, not personal protection. Some state
laws require a skier or wakeboarder to wear a PFD.

Chapter 2

PFD’S FOR PETS

If you are a skipper who needs to have his pet dog or cat on
board or dockside then a PFD is recommended. The PFD
will aid you in fi nding the pet if it should fall overboard.
The device must fi t the pet properly. Also, it may take a
bit of training before the pet is comfortable wearing the
PFD. Normally, dogs are easier to train wearing a life vest
than a cat.
Marine type retail stores will fi t a pet to a PFD by body
weight.

MAINTAINING YOUR PFD’S

A PFD is only useful if it is well maintained. Always be
aware of PDF age since it has a life expectancy like any
other piece of equipment.

√ Check periodically for broken zippers, frayed webbing,
water soaked kapok bags, missing straps, and sewing that
has become undone.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Fire extinguishers are classifi ed by a letter and numeric
symbol. The letter references the type of fi re the unit is
designed to extinguish.
For example, type B extinguishers commonly used on boats
are designed to put out fl ammable liquids such as grease,
oil and gasoline.
The number indicates the general size of the extinguisher
(minimum extinguishing agent weight).
Coast Guard Approved extinguishers are identifi ed by the
following marking on the label:

“Marine Type USCG Approved, Size..., Type...,

162.028/.../”, etc.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER CONTENTS

√ Clean each PFD with mild soap and water only. Again,
let dry suffi ciently before storing.

√ Keep PFD’s out of grease and oil since they can
deteriorate the jacket inner and outer materials.

√ Check any kapok-bagged jackets by squeezing. If you
hear air escaping the bag is defective and the PFD should
be thrown away.

√ Grab the cover with the fi ngers. If the cover material
rips, the PFD is rotted and should be thrown away.

√ If the kapok bag is hard the PFD should be
discarded.

Safety On Board

U. S. Coast Guard approved fi re extinguishers are required
on all Regal yachts. Besides the minimum Coast Guard
requirements always check state and local agencies for
additional requirements and equipment.
Coast Guard approved extinguishers are hand-portable,
either B-I or B-II classification. U. S. Coast Guard
approved hand-portable and semi-portable extinguishers
contain a metal plate that shows the manufacturers name
and extinguisher type, capacity and operating instructions.
They have a special marine type mounting bracket which
keeps the extinguisher solidly mounted until needed. The
extinguisher needs to be mounted in a readily accessible
location but one that will not be bumped by people
while underway. All approved extinguishers shall have an
indication gauge.

U.S.C.G APPROVED FIRE EXTINGUISHER
TYPES & FEATURES

 The carbon dioxide unit uses
CO2 gas under high pressure, with a
funnel discharge hose usually swivel
mounted. This extinguisher leaves
no residue and does not cause
interior engine harm. To ensure
workability, weigh the unit annually.

A 10% maximum weight variance
is allowed.
Another type of liquifi ed gas used today is FE-241.This
gas is colorless and odorless, heavier than air and sinks
to the lower bilge to extinguish fi res. Since the year 2000
ingredients have changed to a more environmental friendly
formula (Chlorotetrafl uoroethane or FE-241). FE-241
is used in portable-hand units along with making up the
majority of boat automatic fi re extinguishing systems.
The canister needs to be weighed once a year. These clean
agent units feature a dash mount indicator.

Refer to the information regarding fi re prevention in this manual.

 The dry chemical agent is widely
used because of its convenience and
low cost. The extinguisher canister
is fi lled with a white dry chemical
powder along with a pressurized
gas. It is a good idea to shake this
type periodically
“pack” on the canister

 The foam type uses a chemical
foaming agent plus water and is
best when used for fi res involving
fl ammable liquids- solvents, gasoline,
oil, grease and various paints. It
will work on fi res involving rubber,

plastics, cloth, wood, and paper. It
leaves a messy residue. Do not use this extinguisher for
electric fi res.

because they tend to

bottom.

VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNALS

All vessels used on coastal waters, any of the Great Lakes,
territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to
them up to a point where a body of water is less than two
miles wide, must be equipped with Coast Guard approved
visual distress signals.
Vessels owned in the United States operating on the high
seas must be equipped with U.S.C.G. approved visual
distress signals.

Chapter 2

.PYROTECHNIC DEVICES

Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be Coast Guard
approved, be ready for service and must be readily
accessible. They all display a marking which is the service
life, which must not have expired. A minimum of 3 devices
are required for the day and 3 devices for night.
Some devices meet both day and night requirements.
Pyrotechnic devices should be stored in a cool, dry
location. Most of these devices can be purchased in an
highly visible (orange) watertight container. Types of
Coast Guard approved pyrotechnic distress signals and
associated devices are:

 Pyrotechnic red fl ares, hand-held or aerial type.

 Pyrotechnic orange smoke, hand-held or floating

type.

 Launchers for parachute fl ares or aerial red meteors.

All in all, each distress signal has certain advantages and
disadvantages.
There is no distress signal that is best under all
situations.
Pyrotechnics are recognized world-wide as superior
distress signals. A downfall is they emit a very hot fl ame
that can cause burns and or ignite fl ammable materials.
Pistol launched and hand-held parachute fl ares operate
consistant with fi rearms and therefore must be carefully
handled. Check with local and state regulations since
some of these device are considered fi rearms and are
prohibited.
It is best to carry red aerial fl ares which are visible from
a greater distance. Also, the red parachute fl ares burn for
longer periods and therefore are more likely to be seen
by another vessel.

NON-PYROTECHNIC DEVICES

Non-pyrotechnic devices must all be in serviceable
condition, readily accessible, and must be certifi ed by the
manufacturer to comply with U.S.C.G standards. They
include:

 Orange distress fl ag.

 Electric distress light.

The distress fl ag is for day use only. It must be 3 x 3 or larger
with a black square and ball on an orange background. It
can be spotted when attached to a boat hook, long fi shing
rod, or paddle with the person waving the fl ag back and
forth overhead.
The electric distress light is for night use only fl ashing the
international SOS distress signal (..._ _ _ ...).
Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity white light
that fl ashes at regular intervals from 50-70 times per minute
is considered a distress signal.
Remember that regulations prohibit the display of visual
distress signals on the water under any circumstances
except when assistance is required to prevent immediate
or potential danger to passengers on a vessel.

SOUND PRODUCING DEVICES

According to both Inland and
International Rules, all boats must
carry a way of producing an
efficient sound signal. If your
vessel is 12 meters (39’ 4”) or
longer, a power whistle or power
horn and bell must be carried. Bell

mouth must be at least 7 7/8”
diameter.
The sound signal made in all cases must be capable of
a four or six second blast audible for one half mile. See
the section discussing bridge and whistle signals for more
information.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

VHF radios are used for distress and ship to shore and
ship to ship communications today. Learn the specialized
messages such as Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. It is only
used when life or vessel is in imminent danger.
Many of the more recent VHF’s feature DSC capability
which offers the ability to place and receive digital calls
directly with vessels and shore stations including USA and
Canadian Coast Guards. Channel 70 is reserved exlusively
for DSC calls. Refer to the VHF owner’s information since
you need to establish a Mobile Maritime Safety Identity
(MMSI) number before using the DSC feature. A MMSI
number identifi es each DSC radio, like a telephone number.
The FCC requires a ship station license for all vessels
equipped with a marine VHF radio.

The confi guration of visible lights tells an operator the
size, direction of travel and means of propulsion (sail,
power, rowing or at anchor) of another vessel.
This helps both operators determine who has the right
of way. Larger boats are required to carry bigger, brighter
lights that are visible over longer distances. See the light
requirement chart for pleasure craft.

MARINE SANITATION
DEVICES

Recreational vessels under 65’ with installed toilet facilities
must have an operable marine sanitation device (MSD)
on board. Vessels 65’ and under may use Type I, II, or
III MSD’s. All installed MSD’s must be U.S. Coast Guard
certifi ed. The MSD’s are labeled to show conformity to
the regulations.

NAVIGATION RULES

The navigation rules establish actions to be taken by
vessels to avoid collision. They are divided into Inland/
International. Operators of vessels 39.4’ or more shall have on

board and maintain a copy of the Inland navigation rules.

NAVIGATION LIGHTS

The U. S. Coast Guard requires recreational boats operating
at night to display navigation lights between sunset and
sunrise along with other periods of reduced visibility.
Navigation lights help avoid collisions by improving
the night visibility of vessels. Red and green directional
lights, white stern lights, white masthead lights and white
all-around lights must be displayed in specifi ed positions,
depending on boat size, and mode of operation.
