6 BEFORE THE NAVIGATION
6.1
Transport and lifting of the vessel
The vessel 23OPEN can be transported on a trailer for the transport of vessels, pulled by a
car. The vessel’s towing dimensions do not require a larger vehicle or lorry. However,
consult the vessel’s manufacturer or representative before purchasing a trailer.
6.1.1
Lifting the vessel
Lowering the vessel into the water with a lift requires caution. It is very important to
attach the lifting strap to the right spot. An incorrect attachment of the lifting straps could
lead to the slipping of the vessel to the ground and its ruining. The straps must not be
attached to the cleats. Their sole purpose is to tie the vessel to the pier and the
positioning of the fenders. The spots where the lifting straps can be attached are indicated
with a warning sticker. The lifting straps should be positioned as in the picture below.
6.1.2
Towing the vessel
If the vessel must be towed by another vessel due to a breakdown or if you run out of
petrol, empty the batteries or for any other reason, carefully choose where to attach the
vessel. Attaching it to the cleats is forbidden! The towing rope should be tied through the
bow eye located on bow, under the anchor.
6.2
Embarking the vessel
While embarking the vessel, ensure the following:
•
do not overload the vessel,
•
one person can embark the vessel at the same time,
•
help children, the elderly and anyone, who might need assistance while embarking
