TRANSPORT
14.1
Transport
By transport we mean moving your boat by means of a trailer suitable for road traffic.
14.2
Trailer
The ideal trailer for transporting the boat is fitted with 2 central slides for easy loading and unloading of the boat during
launching and landing. The slides prevent the boat from sliding sideways during transport as they are inside the tunnel of the hull.
The trailer must be suitable for the weight of the boat and the type of vehicle/driving licence held by the driver.
14.3
Checks
✓
Check conditions for brakes, lights, emergency pull system.
✓
Make sure that the trailer will be towed by a suitably powerful vehicle.
✓
Secure the propulsion unit during transport of the boat as road humps or brusque movements could damage it.
✓
Secure the propeller so that it cannot be turned by wind during transport.
✓
Secure the boat to trailer with second safety line that can link the boat to the trailer in case of winch failure.
14.4
Safety
✓
Use belts suitable for loading conditions and distance of the tow.
✓
The winch cable must be taught, but don't use only the winch as a means of securing the boat to the trailer.
✓
Secure the bow of the boat to the trailer by means of a safety belt.
✓
Use a securing system on the side of the boat if required by loading and road conditions.
✓
The side securing system must hold the board at the sides and also prevent the boat from sliding forwards.
✓
The winch cable and the front safety belts stop the boat from sliding backwards.
