RS Feva - Towing, Anchoring, Mooring, and Trailing

3.8 Towing, Anchoring, Mooring, and Trailing
Towing on the Water
We recommend the following procedure for towing your RS Feva:
Feva S
• Secure the towing line around the mast, as low down to the mast gate as
possible. If the mast has failed, then the towing line can be tied to the lifting
handle at the front of the boat.
• Lower and stow the mainsail.
• Fully raise or remove the daggerboard.
• Stay at the tiller. In the event of rudder loss, sit well aft.
Feva XL
• Secure the towing line around the tack bar.
• Lower and stow all sails
• Fully raise or remove the daggerboard.
• Stay at the tiller. In the event of rudder loss, sit well aft.
Anchoring
The RS Feva can be anchored for short periods of time. The anchor line should be
secured around the base of the mast (Feva S), or around the tack bar (Feva XL).
The sails should be lowered or securely stowed, and the rudder and the
daggerboard should be raised completely.
REMEMBER
An anchor is a heavy piece of equipment. You must ensure that you are not
overloading your RS Feva, and that the anchor is securely stowed when not in
use to prevent damage to the boat or the crew!
