STEERING GEAR
STEERING AND TURNS
- The steering only works when the engine is running. It is impossible to make a turn
without using the accelerator.
- To turn, reduce speed, turn the wheel and then accelerate sufficiently to make the turn.
- It stops under the effect of water resistance when the accelerator is released.
- The distance needed for the boat to stop depends on the sailing parameters: speed,
sea conditions, wind direction and force...
WARNING
- Learn how to judge the necessary distance of deceleration for the vessel
to come to a complete stop.
- The reverse gear is not a brake.
- Reduce speed in waves.
