List Of Things To Note For Yacht U-turn Operators

If the sightseeing yacht makes a U-turn, what should the operator pay attention to?

(1) Consider the maneuverability of the boat, such as the flexibility of the rudder, the type of propeller (single and double vehicles), the composition, stability and loading conditions of the superstructure on the deck. Choose a U-turn location

(2) Determine the method and direction of the U-turn based on the width, water flow, wind direction and obstacles of the channel at the U-turn location.

  (3) Before the U-turn, the prescribed U-turn signal should be displayed to cause the surrounding yachts to be exhausted, and the U-turn is only necessary when the surroundings are intact.

(4) During the U-turn, pay close attention to changes in the surrounding environment and other ship dynamics to avoid collisions with passing ships. Do not make U-turns across the bow of other ships.

(5) Make full use of wind power and water flow, properly use cars and rudders, and make the yacht turn around safely and quickly.

(6) The speed of the boat should be slowed when the single boat is launched. Prevent heeling.
