So be careful in narrow passages and when meeting other boats. It is therefore important that
you follow the international regulations on how to avoid collisions at sea = COLREG.
Navigate with care and use new or updated nautical charts.
The running position of the boat greatly affects its driving characteristics and fuel
consumption. The boat's best operational position may be achieved by:
-
placing the load properly
-
adjusting the engine's trim angle.
The combination of the right operational position with the right speed also makes driving in
open waters more comfortable and safer.
WARNING! High speed and quick manoeuvring, in a rough sea, can lead to large heeling
angles and loss of control over the boat.
NOTE! The boat is not designed to be driven through conditions that cause it to jump
waves.
5.9.7 Approaching and leaving the dock
Practise boat manoeuvring skills where there is ample space to learn how to approach a dock
before entering a crowded marina.
A very gentle throttle application does not generate sufficient steering power. Sharp but short
throttle applications enable efficient steering movements.
Ensure that everyone on-board who does not have to stand up is seated when you are
approaching the dock. Sudden steering movements may cause the boat to sway and someone
to get injured.
Before docking, prepare the ropes at stern and bow. Approach the dock bow first at a narrow
angle. Just before touching the dock, steer against the dock and shift into reverse. Apply
throttle quickly and sharply. The boat will stop and turn parallel to the dock. If possible, make
the approach into the wind or current, whichever is the strongest. This makes departing from
the dock easier as the wind or current pushes the bow out from the dock. If there is no wind or
current the easiest way to depart is by pushing the stern as far away from the dock as possible,
and then slowly reversing away from the dock into open water.
The propeller is designed to give its best grip in forward gear. Therefore the propeller
performance is weaker in reverse. Neither does the boat have a similar steering response in
reverse as in forward gear.
WARNING! Yamarin 68 Cabin is a fast boat. It does not stop instantly when at planing
speed. Slow down in plenty of time before anchoring, beaching or docking.
Learn to estimate the distance the boat needs before it stops. Remember that
steering control is poor, if there is no traction.
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! Practise beaching
and docking under favourable conditions! Use moderate but firm engine power.
