ANCHORING AND MOORING
ANCHORING
Please make sure your craft is equipped with an appropriate anchor and line. If you are not sure,
ask your Dealer who will be happy to advise. Setting-up a secure anchorage requires knowledge
and practice so it is important that properly trained persons undertake this procedure.
When anchoring your boat make sure that you will not create a potentially dangerous situation for
yourself, other boats or people.
ANCHOR ONLY IN AREAS WHERE YOUR BOAT WILL NOT HINDER OTHER BOATS.
DO NOT ANCHOR IN A CHANNEL!
Before anchoring the boat, stop the engine. When anchoring be aware that the condition of the
sea bed, changes in tide, wind strength and direction and currents will affect the position of the
craft. Use local landmarks to obtain an approximate fix for the craft’s position and check this
regularly.
