USEFUL TIPS FOR TOWING:
»
Secure the towing line before the other boat approaches, so that everything is ready.
»
Use a long line for towing; preferably at least 20 meters long
»
If possible, make sure that the towing boat makes a v-shaped rope attached to at least 2
strong points, and that the towing line is fastened to the middle of this rope. Use a sheet bend
(
Flaggstikk
in Norwegian) or similar knot that does not allow slip.
»
If possible, try to position the knot at the end of this V-shape so that it is around 0,5 meters
ahead of the propellor of the towing boat. If not, you will have difficulties maneuvering the boat.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Make sure that the towing rope is intact and of suitable strength before towing, and check
all knots before starting the tow. If the rope for any reason should break loose, the boat will
lunge forward and may cause injury.
6.3 STOWING
When stowing your 28 Tender it is important to ensure that the boat is secure and stable. Use at least
two supports aft (one on each side) and one placed centrally at least 1/3rd from the bow.

»
