Local hazards that are particularly hazardous for sailing vessels include shallow waters, which can lead to grounding, and submerged obstacles like rocks or wrecks that can damage the hull. Strong currents and tidal changes can create challenging navigation conditions, while sudden weather changes, such as squalls or thunderstorms, pose risks of capsizing or loss of control. Additionally, busy shipping lanes can increase the risk of collisions with larger vessels.
