DANGERDo not approach and do not carry out any kind of intervention on transmission during the hauling because propeller can turn.
The size of the yacht does not allow its transportation by land, therefore, in case of need will have to be towed by a yacht authorized to do so.
In the case of hauling or towing, the peaks must be fixed as shown in the figure to share the effort and centre the shot.
It is good practice, after giving time to the cleats, take the top, giving time to the winch: in this way you will have the advantage of greater strength points.
The length of the hauling cable must be determined according to sea conditions, so as to amortize the throw without damaging the mooring arrangements.
DANGERDo not approach and do not carry out any kind of intervention on transmission during the hauling because propeller can turn.
WARNINGIn case it is necessary to tow another yacht, do this under calm sea and calm wind conditions only, and tow boats with a displacement not exceeding 50% of your yacht displacement; in case of emergency, if hauling is not possible, give help by taking the people of the other yacht on board, as many as permitted and possible, and reach the nearest harbour.
Anyway, inform immediately the Port Authority.
WARNINGHauling navigation can be carried out continuously for 8 hours, provided that you constantly monitor the gear box oil temperature, which must not exceed 80 °C.
If temperature exceeds 80 °C, stop navigation and wait until the temperature lowers.
When the engine is shut off, the throttles position is unimportant.
CAUTIONAlways draw other boats or let your yacht be towed at low speed. Never exceed the speed of the drawing yacht when you are being towed.
CAUTIONFasten your yacht to a hauling rope so that it can be released when loaded.
CAUTIONIt is the Owner’s/operators’ responsibility to make sure that the mooring ropes, the hauling ropes, the anchor chain(s), the anchor lines, and the anchor(s) are suitable for the intended use of the yacht, i.e., the resistance of the ropes or chains must not exceed 80% of the resistance to breaking of the relevant strength point.
The Owner should also determine which action is necessary when fastening a hauling rope on board.
CAUTIONDo not stand near the ropes during drawing (or hauling) operations, a rope that breaks can be extremely dangerous (“whip lash effect”).
DANGERDuring hauling navigation, the propeller shaft has to be kept turning by the water flow through propeller. We recommend not carrying out any kind of service on the propulsion devices (engines, gear boxes, shafts, etc..).
