Health, safety & living aboardSağlık, güvenlik & teknede yaşam
Prevention beats cure for almost everything at sea.Denizde neredeyse her şeyde önlem, tedaviden iyidir.
Seasickness
A vestibular–visual mismatch. Watch the horizon, stay on deck in fresh air, take the helm, stay hydrated, avoid going below early on. Ginger, acupressure bands and meds (cinnarizine, dimenhydrinate, scopolamine patch) help — take them before you feel sick. It usually fades in 2–3 days.
Sun & saltwater
UV is brutal — water reflects it back. SPF 50 reapplied often, UPF clothing, wide-brim hat, polarised sunglasses. Salt + chafe + damp = salt sores: rinse with fresh water, dry out, barrier cream on chafe points, keep feet dry, clean cuts promptly.
Hydration & “supplementing”
Sun, wind and exertion dehydrate you fast. Drink steadily; use electrolytes on hot, active days; go easy on alcohol while sailing. Otherwise keep it food-first — adequate calories and protein, ginger for nausea. Any personal supplement plan is worth a word with your doctor rather than a guess.
Safety gear & drills
Lifejackets + harnesses clipped to jackstays in rough weather or at night, liferaft, EPIRB, flares, fire extinguishers + blanket (LPG is heavier than air and pools in the bilge), and a flooding / abandon-ship plan everyone knows. A disciplined watch system is a safety system.
