TOWING
TOWING BOAT
- Tow another boat at a reduced speed and as smoothly as you can.
- Pay particular attention when you throw or catch the towing rope (it may foul on the
propeller).
Note: The stability may be reduced when you tow a boat.
TOWED BOAT
Keep steering your boat and see to it that you stay in the wake of the towing boat.
Inappropriate towing can damage your vessel, do not tow at more than 6 knots.
GROUND TACKLE
As a rule, set the anchor in at least 3 times the depth of water.
ANCHORING WITHOUT WINDLASS
- Have your boat pointed into the wind and without speed.
- Pay out the chain while moving back slowly.
- Once the anchor snags, make it fast by reversing slightly.
- Secure the hawser or the chain to the cleat
.
ANCHORING WITH ELECTRIC WINDLASS
- Turn on the boat engine.
- Check that the electrical supply of the windlass is switched on (battery switch, circuit
breaker).
- Use the remote control to activate the windlass in lowering mode. Let the chain feed out
by keeping the lowering button on the remote control pressed down.
- Let the chain out while moving backwards slowly and as straight as possible.
- Once the anchor snags, make it fast by reversing slightly.
- Secure the hawser or the chain to the cleat
.
PRECAUTION
- Before anchoring check the depth of water, the power of the current and the nature of the
sea bed.
- Anchoring manoeuvres with the electric windlass can only be carried out with the engine
running.
WARNING
Windlass operations are dangerous:
- Always keep the anchor chain or rode free and unfouled.
- Always proceed with care, using gloves and always wearing shoes.
- If your boat is equipped with the twin control optional extra, make sure you
use only one control at the same time.
