5.11.5 Anchoring and mooring the boat
Always moor your boat carefully, even in sheltered places, because conditions can change
rapidly. Mooring lines should be equipped with absorbers to dampen any jolts. Please refer
to the section Towing for the location of bollards. To prevent abrasion, use fenders that are
large enough.
The forward endurance of the bow bollards is at least 23 kN, or c. 2,300 kg. The backward
endurance of the stern bollards is at least 16.0 kN, or c. 1,600 kg.
The minimum anchor weight for the boat is 5 kg. Drop anchor far enough from shore. A
reasonable grip is attained if the anchor line length is 4
– 5 times the water depth.
WARNING! Do not try to stop the boat with your hands, and do not put your
arm or foot between the boat and the dock, the shore or another
vessel!
NOTE! When securing your boat, take into consideration the possibility
of changes in wind direction, rising or sinking of the water level,
bow wakes, etc. You can get more information from your
insurance company, for example.
5.11.6 Towing
When towing another boat, use a floating line that is strong enough for the task. Begin
towing slowly, avoid jerks, and do not overload the engine.
The owner of the boat sh
ould consider the measures necessary for securing the boat’s
towrope.
If you are towing, or if your boat has to be towed, attach the towline to the bow or stern
bollards as per the following image.
