Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to checking the sail equipment of recreational vessels in both land and water environments. It relates to workplaces in which vessels are built, repaired, stored, sold and transported.
The scope of the unit is limited to identifying and reporting on the general condition of the sails and their equipment and identifying potential problems that can be easily discerned. It includes basic operational checks similar to those routinely performed by machinery or vehicle operators. It does not include an assessment of seaworthiness or durability. The information would be reported to a supervisor or manager who would determine any further action.
All work and work practices are undertaken to regulatory and legislative requirements.
Operational checking of other vessel components is covered by Unit MEM50006B (Check operational capability of marine craft).
