What Do All The Different Shag Band Colours Mean

FAILURES! THE FLYING

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!!

TIMONIERE


The helmsman is the one who leads the boat , having to decide the route to follow, is the one who decides when to tack or jibe, is the one who decides when or how much luff rest in short, if we were in a car he would decide whether to turn left or right when braking or accelerating.

What happens if our skipper falls overboard? Well if that happens, there are problems ...

can happen, but if the poor crew it is well out on the trapeze, the helmsman, who was also ready to fight back for the gusts trying to help mate, stick with it in hand, splashing his face covering eh ... Pluff magically disappears ... the crew at the helm of this point has only one option: pick up quickly and manage to board the boat to conduct him or break away quickly before the boat is on the stand and, as close as possible to the boat, because with the wind and strong current, the boat drifting too at a rate disproportionately.

But why the pilot is finished in water?!?! Most likely, the stick slipped out of hand, or fallen short straps at the foot ...

If one were to see such a scene would exchange the two sailors for two clowns are doing a number. seems absurd as a scene, but alas, it does happen, I took the heat, and being focused, the movements become mechanical, and we forget to take a look to see if all is OK ... and fly into the water ...

I leave you with a video found on youtube, if you want to watch it all, look at the last piece .. here at the helm (the crew is made only by him as a laser) do a nice flight ... lacking, indeed, at the foot straps!

Fair winds to all!

MAN OVERBOARD!

What should you do if a member of your crew accidentally falls into the water?

left in water would not be a nice thing to do, and if we are not baywatch lifeguards is better not to improvise, if not instead of a person, our commander has to save two people!

In case of a fall "man overboard" need to immediately put the rudder on the side fall, contrary to the propeller and the stern of the wreck. After this maneuver, if not go to low speed and are on average long-boat, are launching a buoy-type ring. If we were to lose a man overboard during a night navigation, as well as we should launch a buoy to buoy light (photo) to mark the point. When, we must approach 70 °, reverse side up to the helm to take reverse route from the initial one.

The hull will complete an arc (curve Williamson, photo) until you get near the sinking. The budget must be large by about 60 ° to 90 °. We will approach the leeward castaway, if we have a small boat, and if we have a boat big we get closer to windward, so you can repair the castaway by waves and wind, making us drift close to it.

The combination of about 70 ° allows us to reach the point where the survivor without going too far or having to take more operations than necessary.

At the point we want to rescue our crew and continue browsing.

I am attaching this video, the man overboard recovery. It would be better not lose a crew member in this way, but at least these guys have "saved".

Fair winds to all!
