One of the more common sources of fire on a boat is a loose connection of the shore power to the receptacle plug on the stern of the boat.

Crew (“Man”) Overboard (MOB) is fortunately relatively rare, but chances are that in your sailing career it will happen.

Directions are super important because while sailing, you will always be in communication with others regarding directions of obstacles, wind changes, your destination, water current, and other boat traffic.
