How should we behave in the event of grounding, holes or damage to the rudder?
If we have to MacGyver board no problem: you will definitely find a solution and will lead us to safety! If not follow these simple instructions that will be useful for ...
Sometimes being inexperienced or not we have taken great care to get stuck, or go dry, with the seabed.
Do not worry. must keep calm and cool because, like all things, if not we will be shakin 'never again.
stranding on sandy or muddy seabed can always be resolved in some way, different problem when he came upon a rocky bottom.
First thing: turn off the engine and check if there is damage to the hull , then scan the bottom of the first attempts to put his hand eased.
to refloat the background necessary to try and sway shifting the boat people, or warping, or stretching and tacking on the anchor cable with the winch or arm strength.
And if we have a flaw?? If there are some holes in the hull near the waterline must try to view it. To make it come out need heel the boat upwind, if there is sandy or muddy, and then dab the leak outside.
last resort in case we had a failure at the helm . In this evidence you can steer with the engines, where we drive Bielice, transport or taking out a oar from the stern (quiet, you will not have to start rowing, you trying to move a boat that weighs 16 tons!) or use a Fender yarn in water and connected to the stern with two peaks of adequate length, acting on one of them will pull the stern on the same side. With these four options we can improvise of MacGyver, especially as regards the last ... better safe than sorry, hoping that none of us understood a problem like this I wish you good wind!!
