My summary of Safety Rules for Optimist Yachting
Before you go out on the water you have to check that the 3 buoyancy tank bungs are screwed in place so that if the boat capsizes it won’t sink. the mast clip must be secured with figure of A 8 knots needing to be tied to the spirit rope. mainsheet rope and the kicker rope optimist yacht is safe and the rudder is clipped in to the back of the Optimist Yacht
Make sure that you have fitted your life jacket properly and then get your guardian or parent has made sure that it fits just to be really sure that it fits you
Sometimes when the yacht is tiping you just need to move a little in the yacht so it doesn't tip but if you do tip you just swim to the yacht and and use the centerboard to flip the yacht then sail the yacht to the shore and tip the water.
