WARNING!
Please read them carefully and take note of the guidelines and notes contained therein!
4. Environmental Information
Sailing is a quiet sport. Please handle your yacht in a responsible way and render your contribution so that
nature is not damaged more than inevitable.
Please follow the notes on nature reserves, national parks and other protected areas.
Navigate your boat with care to keep away from such areas and do not endanger yourself unnecessarily
when in difficult sea areas.
Please pay attention to the following sections.
Fuels and Oils
Fuels and oils are an environmental hazard because they pollute, impair and damage nature for a longer
period of time.
Handle these substances with care on board so that nothing of them is drained overboard during filling or
emptying.
Take special care before pumping the bilges so that the bilge water does not contain oil.
Use special oil absorbers for cleaning the bilge water or pump the bilge water in special canisters, which
you dispose of according to rule once you are on shore.
Waste Management
Wastes of all kind have to be disposed of according to environmental rules. For this purpose you should
separate the wastes on board and take them to the relevant waste containers on shore, in the ports. Reduce
the amount of waste, in particular by reducing packaging! Use packages which you can reduce in volume
after they have been used!
Glass packaging also does not belong into the water!
Sound
Noise is also an environmental burden. Existing sound insulation in the engine room is to be kept clean
and must not be coated with paint.
Please choose an engine speed which keeps noise within bearable limits.
Wave Formation and Swell
Swell develops in particular by driving the boat near hull speed. Bow and stern wave are especially
distinct at this speed.
Reduce speed when driving in narrow waters and within protective maritime belts.
Pay attention to speed limitations on water and observe them.
Exhaust Gases
Exhaust gases are an unavoidable environmental burden.
Pay attention to the colour of the exhaust gas as this can be an indication of a faulty adjustment of the
engine! Blue or sooty colour points to a serious faulty adjustment. Have it repaired.
Do not run the engine as an "auxiliary device" for loading the battery when in port but use the shore
supply unit or a battery charger.
Colours, Detergents and other Substances
Underwater coating (antifouling) is used to prevent fouling on the hull. This coat of paint is not a
protection (e.g. against osmosis) for the boat body.
Please note in this context that certain coatings are not permitted.
You should lay underneath a foil when working, grinding etc. and/or use an efficient sucking device in
order to dispose of the grinding dust according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Apply mechanical methods, if possible, for removing layers of coating. Removers of varnishes and paints
are very aggressive and mostly have to be treated as hazardous waste.
