How do you reduce risks of capsizing or swamping your boat?

To reduce the risks of capsizing or swamping your boat, ensure that you maintain proper weight distribution by keeping heavier items low and centered. Always check the weather conditions before heading out and avoid rough waters when possible. Additionally, use appropriate safety equipment, such as life jackets, and ensure everyone on board is aware of safety protocols. Regularly inspect your boat for any issues that could affect stability or buoyancy.
