XVII. MOORING, ANCHORING, AND TOWING
ATTENTION!
.
● The anchor points for anchoring and/or towing are the 2 fore cleats, which have a breaking
strain of approximately 5400 kg. The rear cleats can also be used for mooring. They have a
breaking strain of approximately 5,400 kg.
● The breaking strain of the lines/chains should in general not exceed 80% of the breaking strain
of the anchor points, i.e. in this case a galvanized chain of 10mm max. and a polypropylene line
of 18mm max.
● Tow or be towed at a low speed. Never exceed the hull speed of a displacement boat in tow.
● The tow line should always be made fast in such a way that it can be released when under
load.
Responsibility
It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to ensure that the mooring lines, towing cables, anchor
chains and lines, together with the anchors, are suitable for the boat’s intended use, i.e. that the
lines or chains do not exceed 80% of the breaking strain of the corresponding anchor point.
Furthermore, the owner must take into account the actions required when making fast a tow cable.
