Boat Safety Tip of The Month

Safety Tip: May 2016 “Ease Off The Anchor”

berths4
 
Excessive anchor use can burn out the motor or trip the switch. We wish to remind members to use the boats’ motors to gently drive the boat to the anchor and not allow “winch power” to pull in the anchor. There is a lot of weight particularly if there are waves and winds. On the other hand, too much engine power will cause the boat to “run over” the chain and tangle the chain with the props, causing damage. The skipper just needs to touch the throttle to slightly move the boat forward and then put the controls back in neutral.
 
We also must remind members about the 2 metre depth rule. This rule is non-negotiable. One of our members took the Dazzler near Mud Island causing prop damage. Luckily, the shafts were not destroyed otherwise the vessel could go out of action for a month.  The turnaround time to repair props is 1 week causing inconvenience to members.

 

Safety Tip: April 2016 “Fender Off”

When you’re going to park your vessel, plan what you’re going to do even before you arrive and instruct your crew accordingly.

0-cus-d3-89a07d5c73387f63e636fe9fc14cb919

Ask these questions

1. Are the fencers correctly aligned on the outside of the vessel on the correct side and the right height to protect the hull from impact?
2. Have you switched your bow thruster on?
3. Have you instructed your crew who is going to jump off the boat with a rope in their hand and secure the vessel at the marina?
4. Also, look at the winds and tidal flows. It’s always harder to park the boat into the wind; it’s easier to go stern first.

Happy boating!

 

February 2016  VHF Radio Saves Lives

VHF Radio

Do yourself and your family a favor and learn how to use a VHF radio so that you have the skills to broadcast a distress call on channel 16. Your lives may depend on it. The advantage of using 16 is that all boaties in the bay will hear your call and come to your aid. There is no RACV on the water and best chance of survival will come from another boatie.  Also, you must know how to read your position and provide latitude and longitude to the rescue authorities.

TIP: Easiest way to get your latitude and longitude  do this is to grab your iPhone and go to the “compass” app. You’ll see these details there then call one number- 000 for help.

 

 

 

 

May 2015: This month we are going to cover anchor technique. How to deploy your anchor and remember before you drive off pull up your anchor!

What Makes a Boater Broke

Forget about slow horses and fast women. Ask any boat broker what makes a boater broke, and they’ll spill a succinct response: “Spending good money on bad boat.” One common belief is that buying a secondhand boat and installing a new engine will increase the boat value. Wrong!

Our Chinese Boat Club Members 俱乐部华人会员 - 巡航之旅

Our Chinese Boat Club Members 俱乐部华人会员 - 巡航之旅

Chinese boat club members like to fish

The Pleasure Cruising Club is honored to have many members of the local Chinese luxury boating community in Melbourne.

Many festivals in the Chinese tradition involve boating

The Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Festival, Duānwǔ Jié, Double Fifth, Tuen Ng Jit) is a traditional holiday that commemorates the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar, Qu Yuan (Chu Yuan). This takes place every fifth day of the fifth month on their lunar calendar.

Please Cruising Club Chinese members enjoy cruising with family and doing business on the water. Boating is enjoyed by all.

“龙舟节”,也就是大家常说的端午节是中国的传统节日,为了纪念著名的中国学者 — 屈原。端午节,为每年农历五月初五,又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、龙舟节、浴兰节等。受中华文化的影响,中秋节也是国家以及世界各地华人华侨的传统节日。

“龙舟”一词,最早见于先秦古书《穆天子传》卷五:“天子乘鸟舟、龙舟浮于大沼。”预《九歌·湘君》中“驾飞龙今北征,邅吾道兮洞庭”,“石濑浅浅,飞龙兮翩翩”,学者们也认为“飞龙”即龙舟。在划龙船时,又多有唱歌助兴的龙船歌流传。如湖北秭归划龙船时,有完整的唱腔,词曲根据当地民歌与号子融汇而成,唱歌声雄浑壮美,扣人心弦,即“举揖而相和之”之遗风。又如广东南雄县的龙船歌,是在四月龙船下水后唱到端午时止,表现内容十分广泛。

基于中国的传统文化,Please Cruising Club发现,华人会员很乐于与家人一同出海钓鱼,亦或者享受一个休闲的午后,或者是带上商业合作伙伴一同在海上洽谈项目。出海一向是被广大华人会员所喜爱的。
