Anchor- towing- and mooring equipment
Anchor
Your RIVER 460 is optionally equipped with a manual anchor system.
Windlass and anchor data
Risk of injury to toes or fingers and hands from crushing when operating the
windlass.
Be aware that the retention power of the anchor may not be sufficient because of
certain grounds, adverse weather conditions and heavy swell and strong winds.
In view of all above it may happen that you have to take special seamanship measures
to enhance the retention power of the anchor or that you may have to leave the
anchor ground.
Please take notice of the manufacturer’s operation manual of each system
component. Service and repair should be carried out according the manufacturer’s
specifications by a certified system mechanic.
Towing
When your RIVER 460 is being towed, the strong towing eye under the bow should be used. When
your RIVER 460 tows another vessel or object, the stern pullers are to be used. By using a “cock foot”,
you will distribute the load on both fasteners aft and achieve better stability and manoeuvrability, as
well as a more even load on the hull. When using davit, approved fastening equipment must be used
and the boat must be secured for good stability. 20 mm rope must be used for towing and the
maximum load on the towing point/attachment is 1000 kg. 3-strand nylon rope with a breaking
strength of 7000 kg is recommended.
