18. Anchoring, mooring and towing
The mooring cleats are designed for a maximum load of 8,500 kg.
If towing or being towed, always do so at a slow speed.
A tow line must always be tied in a way that it can always be released under load.
CAUTION
- Any anchorage points which show any visible signs of deterioration must be replaced.
- It is the responsibility of the owner / user to ensure that mooring warps, towlines, chain and anchor
rode, as well as anchors are adequate for the envisaged use of the boat, which is to say that lines
or chains should not exceed 80% of the breaking strain of the corresponding anchorage point.
- The owner should also take into consideration the actions which would need to be taken to rig a
towline on board.
- The yard recommends using an anchor rode comprising 70 metres of 10mm chain and a 20Kg Delta
anchor (breaking strain 5,000 Kg).
- It is recommended to use a purpose-designed bridle for anchoring or towing.
