I spend almost all my summers sailing around the Greek islands. With this small article I would like to share some tips for sailing with you to help you make the most of your sailing holidays.
o When moored or anchored, use your umbrella and stay in most of the time there. Our friend, the Sun can sometimes be dangerous, especially during the summer.
o Be careful on board and, if possible, always wear a pair of soft boat shoes. This way you can protect your feet and the deck surface. When sailing, avoid walking on deck without particular reason and in bad weather, remember to use your life belt.
o If you have children on board, let them sit outside, but always in the cockpit cover lifejacket.
o Before operating the electric anchor winch, start the engine and run it at aprox 1.200 to 1.500 for rpm in neutral. This is necessary not to exhaust the service battery, as the consumption of the winch is extremely high. Our recommendation is low Anchoring your hand and receiving using the remote. Whenever using the windlass (down or collecting your anchor) be very careful with your fingers. An electric windlass is a great facility, but also extremely danger with careless use.
o Remember to use the electric refrigerator only with the engine running.
o Many yachts are equipped with a switch with which you can connect Both batteries have more power to start your engine. You can keep them connected, as long as your engine is running. When you stop engine, be sure to disconnect. This will protect you, to be without electricity in case you forget, for example, the electric refrigerator running.
o When you dock at a port, always a kite between your boat and the dock, even if your anchor point for any reason, is unable to keep up, the yacht will not touch the quay. Take care of the swell that big ferries cause and avoid Docking the boat near where the boats anchor.
o Before starting your engine in gear, take a tour of the boat to float ropes that can block or damage your propeller or gearbox. When you want to go from front to back, it do after leaving down the engine at idle.
o Avoid towing your boat especially in rough weather, as you can lose. It is preferable to set to take the mast. Remember that lost items are always charged to the charterer. If you need help and the tug before you accept, agree on the price and ask for a receipt that clearly indicates that no further payment will be requested.
o Avoid throw paper or towels in the toilet bowl. It is better to use plastic bags for waste paper. Toilet pumps are not able to dissolve such things.
o Remember to close the main switch at the top of the cylinder when not using the gas stove or when nobody is on board.
o Although the filling of water or fuel tanks, make sure not to mix fuel with water or water with fuel. In both cases, the situation becomes unpleasant and difficult to repair.
o Keep an eye on the counter for hours your engine and make sure you have enough fuel in the tank. The fuel gauge is not always reliable, so check the hours that you used the engine.
o Do not throw plastic bottles, cans or other waste into the sea Keep on board and remove immediately the first port.
o It is also requested not to raise a flag other than the Greek, on the back side of the boat, because it is against the Greek and International marine regulations.
CAUTION: If the boat is equipped with VHF DSC, do not distress signal BUTTON unless it is absolutely NECESSARY (FIRE – Collision – EARTH – Shipwreck). There is a penalty for unnecessary use.
