9.10.3 Respect for the environment
Conservation of the environment is a matter of honour for every boater. Therefore, you
should avoid:
fuel and oil leaks;
emptying rubbish and waste into the water or on the shore;
letting detergents or solvents get into the water;
loud noise both on the water and at the marina; and
producing an unnecessarily high bow wake, especially in narrow passages and shallow wa -
ters.
Service the engine well and run it at the most economical speed, which will also keep ex -
haust emissions low.
Please also consider other local environmental legislation and regulations. In Finland, un -
der ‘everyman’s rights’ anyone may move around on private land, except in the vicinity
of residential buildings, as long as they cause no damage or inconvenience. ‘Everyman’s
rights’ also allow movement and temporary anchorages on privately owned waters, swim -
ming and going on shore at uninhabited locations, unless landing is specifically prohibited
by a notice from the authorities. It is not allowed to anchor next to a shoreline where there
are one or more residences. Docking at a private dock owned by someone else or landing
on a shore where there are residences is also not allowed without permission.
Please make sure to familiarise yourself with the International Convention for the Preven-
tion of Pollution From Ships (MARPOL) and respect it to the greatest possible extent.
It is allowed to camp out on islands as long as no damage is caused to the landowner. It is
not allowed to camp out next to residential buildings or in or near cultivated fields. You may
not light a campfire unless you have the landowner’s permission. Everyman’s rights allow
the picking of naturally growing berries and mushrooms without damaging trees or the
environment in general. Please check the regulations concerning movement in the natural
environment are in your area.
9.10.4 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 on Towing for the location of bollards. To prevent abrasion, use fenders that
are large enough.
The loop at the bow of the boat is for locking the boat to trailer. The loop on the deck is for
locking the boat (to a dock, for instance). The locations of the loops are shown in section 8.
NOTE! Make sure that the lock or chain does not scratch the deck of the boat.
The forward endurance of the bow bollards is about 20.9 kN, or c. 2000 kg.
The backward endurance of the stern bollards is at least 14.6 kN, or c. 1400 kg.
The ultimate strength of mooring lines should be smaller than that of the bollard they are
attached to. This means that the line will snap before the bollard or its mount fails.
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.
