The boat owner/skipper is responsible for ensuring that the mooring lines, towing lines, anchor
chains and anchors are sufficient for the intended service area. Boat owner/operator should
consider too which measures are necessary in order to use a tow-line on board.
The strength of the used tow-lines shall not greater than 80% of the strength of the cleats.
1.6.2. Anchoring
The 16kg bow anchor is located ready to be dropped on the bow roller.
The chain falls in a chain locker. This is where the end is fastened.
Please pay attention that the holding of the anchors is perhaps
restricted due to the sea bed (stony), to stormy weather, high
waves, etc. Please take precautions to increase the holding power
or to leave the anchorage.
Washdown the windlass and anchor chain regularly with fresh
water.
When hauling in the anchor, check the chain for debris as it can block the windlass.
Make sure that the anchor chain can run freely in the locker.
