Call the Dart Harbour Office, Brixham Coastguard and club Captain.

Detail one responsible person to remain at the boathouse as a point of contact.

If available and safe to do so, take the safety launch with safety kit bag, mobile phone and one other person (and inform the Harbour Office/Coastguard) to search the river
