Anchoring, Mooring & Towing
Transition from displacement to planing mode
The international regulations for preventing collisions at sea
(COLREG's) and the rules of the road require that a proper lookout be
maintained at all times and observance of right of way. Make certain
no other vessels are in the path before proceeding.
Information It is the owners / operators responsibility to ensure that the mooring
lines, towing lines, anchor chains, and anchors are adequate for the
vessel's intended use. Owners should also consider what action will
be necessary when securing a tow line on board.
The breaking strength of lines / chains should not exceed 80% of the
breaking strength of the strong point to which it is attached.
Caution
Always tow or be towed at slow speed. Never exceed the hull speed
of a displacement craft when towing or being towed.
Caution
A tow line shall always be made fast in a way that it can be released
when under load.
Breaking strength of forward strong point: 3.2 kN (0.3 tonnesf)
Information When at anchor, it is damaging to leave the full load of the boat
resting on the windlass. It is recommended that the chain be tied onto
a local strong point.
