Water in the vessel. Sailing and other stories
By checking in on the charter boat trip begins, should be the occasion an unforgettable experience. What else is important for charter skipper and guests, has a professional Charterskipperin in a book "Water Ship. Sailing and other stories” zusammengefasst.Das procedure of ship acquisition may vary from base to base, but there are basics to be observed.
The adoption of a charter yacht is in two parts: the settlement in the office (Security deposit, any residual make payments and ship documents in all proceedings) and checking in on the ship.
Almost every weekend you can see, Crews arrived early that morning at Charter 8.00 Clock, bag and baggage in front of the ship and would prefer the same on board, although the yacht is still not cleaned. Thus they not only keep the basic operation of, but do yourself a favor, because they put pressure on the cleaning staff.
How much more relaxed, it would be for all concerned, when the team begins only once in a café, to wait in silence, opens up the office. Or, to satisfy the curiosity first, Once a crew member scout the situation without the baggage can be.
Then, when the paperwork is done, it goes on board. The procedure of ship acquisition may vary from base to base. It depends on the personnel, of time and the company's policy from. And it, how much experience the skipper has, or purports to have. But, if time is short once, because many crews will be released simultaneously prefer, be the less experienced skipper things explained and demonstrated - at least in any properly managed basis. He has to ask only.
If this does not happen is once the employee base of a minimum level of basic knowledge about how to deal with a charter yacht.
Asking the Right Questions
Upon check-in is everything, what a skipper know how to use the yacht must, declared. The important thing is the precise explanation of the safety equipment.
But it is not always enough qualified staff, an inexperienced sailor charter with the necessary tips to give on the way, to avoid initial difficulties. And sometimes well-intentioned advice, even counterproductive. So you can do it, for example,, that a technician told his guests on a basis, that the sea valves must not be closed. In his experience would have the charter guests toilet causing more problems, as they had pumped in a closed or completely open sea cock. A sunken boat on the toilet was obviously not in his two-year experience.
It may be in taking, that, if one asks about the engine from the sea cock, the answer is, only: "That you do not need." Does not normally, that's right, but still everyone should know Skipper, from where it is accessible. And why are usually life raft, Wantenschneider, Jury rudder and fire extinguishers shown? All hope yet, during a cruise that they do not have to get used. Quite aware of the charterers are technical details withheld, not as rare direct charter skipper on the basis of their inexperience with inspection and "self-repair 'damage. Particularly important: If possible, the charterer for technical problems must inform the base, before he even begins to potter.
If one wants to make it good
An example from practice, how fast something goes wrong: A charter customer asked for the takeover, what he would have to review the way the engine. At best, oil and water, replied the engineer, adding, that the engine had only recently received his service.
Nevertheless, the staff showed him dipstick and the two cooling circuits. In the evening, called the client to a remote port and asked for a replacement vessel. He was on the way the engine failed, after which he had started the rescue, order can be towed to. In the introduction to the new ship, mentioned, the technician, that he should always ride in motor care, if the cooling water comes from the exhaust. A closer examination of the "accident Yacht" were declared by the technician, that the cover of sea water filter was not screwed on properly. This obviously was air come into the system and the seawater pump drew no water more. If the helmsman not be noticed, that no water comes out, is it just a matter of time, until the engine overheated and fail.
