Your dealer can either provide experienced people or recommend someone to launch . navigation Understanding navigation is very important when out on the open seas . Instructions on navigation are beyond the scope of this guide . Reading Chapman’s Piloting and Seamanship, to obtain instruction regarding navigation is encouraged by Marquis .
OperatinG and maneuverinG seCtiOn 6 yacht . CASTING OFF AND DOCKING Docking and casting off can be hampered by wind and current . It is important to use the current by approaching or leaving with the current instead of fighting against it . Also, the operator should adequately fender the yacht against collisions with docks or other boats . If a dinghy is used to reach the yacht, make sure the dinghy line does not foul the propeller .
OperatinG and maneuverinG seCtiOn 6 Stopping the yacht’s forward motion is referred to as “checking headway” . It is important learn how to confidently stop the yacht within any required distance . Check headway by shifting engines to neutral and coming to a complete stop over a long distance, or by reversing engines and stopping within a shorter distance . TOWING ALWAYS OFFER ASSISTANCE TO A VESSEL IN DISTRESS . However, towing a capsized yacht or a yacht with a damaged hull is not recommended .
OperatinG and maneuverinG seCtiOn 6 MOORING LINES Become familiarized with mooring line terminology and mooring line use . Obtain training on mooring if necessary . Learn how and when to tie the various knots used in seamanship . Yachts that are not moored correctly can suffer and cause serious damage . The following information serves only as a guide to mooring the yacht . The mooring illustration on the previous page demonstrates possible mooring lines for a small vessel .
OperatinG and maneuverinG seCtiOn 6 OPERATING AT PLANING SPEED The yacht is equipped a “planing” hull . A planing hull skims over the water rather than through it . Planing is performed by first reaching a certain speed, called planing speed . The trim angle of the yacht increases, when accelerating from a dead stop, causing the bow to rise and the stern to drop . The yacht eventually achieves plane, if acceleration continues, which means the bow slowly drops to a more level attitude .
