MOORING LINES A sufficient number of mooring lines suitably sized and suitable for the environment shall be on board for mooring your boat. - Always manoeuvre your boat using the engine. - Make allowance for the current and wind when you handle your boat. - Protect your boat to the highest degree with suitably sized fenders.
Page 42
STABILITY Breaking waves represent a serious danger for stability and for taking in water. Close the companionway doors and hatches in heavy seas. During sailing keep all the portholes, windows and doors closed. - The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts. - Stability may be reduced when towing a boat or when heavy weights are lifted with the davits.
