Boat check-in: examining a yacht down to the last screw

• Boat check-in: examining a yacht down to the last screw

The boat is already waiting in the harbour and you're fishing around in your mind for what to check before setting sail. We've put together a list of the most important things to look for when taking over your boat. Take it step by step. The main thing is to have the charter company show you all the important things and check their condition and function. Let's explore a yacht's equipment together!

3 reasons to inspect the boat thoroughly

• Enjoy the voyage right from the word go. You’ll set sail reassured that everything works and is in its place. When taking over you will refresh your skills and knowledge.
• Avoid any unpleasant surprises when returning the boat or paying any unnecessary fines. All faults will be recorded and detected in advance.
• Sort out any crisis at sea quickly, efficiently and with a clear head. All your energy can be devoted to sorting out the problem and not searching for life jackets, harnesses, pumps or tools.

What gear to check on board?

Check everything thoroughly and always make sure that the piece of equipment is actually on board, in sufficient numbers and in good condition. Check the functionality of all the important equipment yourself. Find all defects or missing items and record them on the checklist . And now to the boat inspection itself!

YACHTING.COM TIP: Share the equipment list with crew members, they will get a basic overview and when you train them on the boat they will have an idea of what you are talking about. Remember to also  tell them the 7 key things to remember before setting sail . And it doesn't hurt to mention  the rules of sailing etiquette .

Dive below deck

Electrical equipment.

• Switches and circuit breakers (on the main panel on the wall next to the navigation table).
• Battery and water status indicator (on the main panel).
• Anchor windlass, its controls and circuit breaker (usually hidden somewhere).
• Navigation lights, including replacement bulbs.
• Navigation devices and autopilot, echosounder.

What to focus on:  View the main panel, which will show you how the switches and circuit breakers are functioning. Turn on the radio, the lights, check the battery recharging and GPS. Try pulling anchor to check the condition of the windlass.

TIP YACHTING.COM: The battery drains quickly, especially draining are the refrigerator and anchor windlass. If you are sailing without a motor, which recharges the battery, or intend on harbouring at places without a connection to the grid, it is best to warn the crew of the limited resources. Show the crew the beauty of wild matted hair! Hairdryers and straighteners should be left at home.

Navigation aids and documents (on the navigation table in the saloon)

• Paper maps, their condition and if they cover the entire route.
• Navigation aids (dividers, pencil, rulers, compass).
• Binoculars (although the ability to  Estimate Distance at Sea by Eye will also come in handy)
• Yachting documents (voyage permits - in Croatia the so-called Prijava, liability insurance, the concession permit required in Croatia, crew list).

Engine and fuel

• Engine and transmission oil.
• V-belt tension, fuel filter.
• Coolant level and check the coolant water inlet valve.
• Check the fuel level in the tank, the fuel tank is usually located under the double bed in the cabin.

What to focus on:  Perform a visual inspection of the engine. Can you see anything leaking?  You should ask to be shown access to the engine. Start the motor, shift into forward and reverse to determine the condition of the propeller.

Most popular sailing destinations: where to sail?

Sail from lefkada for 14 days. where to, tried and tested anchor safely and eat well in croatia, experienced sailing: la maddalena archipelago, to the sandy beaches of croatia, 17 places in croatia for great photos, tuscan archipelago week charter, safety equipment.

• Life jackets.
• Life belts (harnesses).
• Fire extinguishers.

What to focus on:  Inspect everything thoroughly   and always make sure that each piece of equipment is actually on board, in sufficient numbers and in good condition.

Water, toilet and bathroom

• Water tanks (usually two and under the double bed in the cabin).
• WC (valves), holding tank switching and draining.
• Draining water properly from the shower.
• Shower at the stern.

What to focus on:  Check the water status in the tanks (the status indicator is not reliable). Check where their switch is. Typically, only one tank is connected at a time and when the water runs out you need to switch over to the other full tank.

YACHTING.COM TIP: A clogged toilet has already made vacation unpleasant for many a seasoned sailor and you've probably heard some funny stories yourself. Be sure to  explain the workings of the toilet  to the crew as soon as possible. After all, a clogged faecal tank is a very common reason for forfeiture of the bail. If you plan to avoid marinas, also warn the crew about the limited capacity of the water tanks.

• Refrigerator (in summer the refrigerator is the second most important thing on the boat, after the engine).
• Stove (leans to keep pots as level as possible).
• 2 gas cylinders (check how full they are and the reserve).
• Bedding (included).
• Storage space.

And on deck

Sails and controls.

Try packing and rolling up the sails, rope tension

• Stoppers, winches, condition of the ropes.
• Rudder (test the play of the steering wheel to the left and right).
• Sails (condition, damage, controls).

• Boat’s deck and the space under the floors (scratches, presence of water, condition around the screws).
• Sides of the hull (can be damaged or scraped if fenders haven’t been used enough).
• Bow (damage might be primarily caused by the anchor).
• Stern (damage from the harbour mooring when manoeuvring).
• Below the waterline (check preferable outside the marina - scrapes, wrapped rope around prop).

What’s in the lockers (storage areas, especially under the benches on deck and in the saloon)?

• Emergency tiller (here it is a good idea to put it on and use it).
• Mooring ropes.
• Reserve anchor.
• Bucket and scrubbing brush.
• Lever for manual bilge pump.
• Paddles, pump for the dinghy (check to make sure it fits in) and paddle hooks for the dinghy.
• Power extension cable, etc.
• Cable cutter.
• Rescue buoy with light.

TIP YACHTING.COM: There is usually enough free space in the batiste - for example, for storing water bottles, beer, snorkeling gear. If you want to know what to bring on the boat, our article  What not to forget to bring on the boat  will help you.

What is often overlooked when checking the boat?

• Bosun’s chair  for climbing the mast.
• Spare parts (spare belts for the main engine and rubber impeller for the salt water feed pump for engine cooling).
• Small dinghy  and its condition .

TIP YACHTING.COM:   Download a sample   inventory list in several languages.

What yacht equipment is necessary at sea?

Whether you are an experienced sailor or have just purchased your own yacht, the right equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring the best sailing experience. from navigation devices to safety devices and comfort items, there are a variety of products that are indispensable on a yacht..

You want to set sail with your yacht? It is important that you ensure in advance that the yacht equipment is completely on board. For a tour, whether only a few hours or over several days or even weeks, there are some things that you can not do without in any case. At the latest, when the itinerary is set, you should take care of the yacht equipment.

Safety, tools, clothing – in this article we will show you what equipment you really need and what is important.

Why is the yacht equipment so important?

Yacht equipment fulfills several tasks. The most important is undoubtedly safety. If an emergency occurs at sea, you can help yourself or even save yourself with the right equipment. Always check carefully in advance that everything you need is on board. In addition, carry out a check-up of all equipment and material in order to detect defects or deficiencies in good time and to rectify them, thus avoiding unpleasant surprises. Also remember that safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, life rafts, life jackets, fire alarms and, for example, EPIRB need regular maintenance and certification. We will gladly take care of the expiration dates and make sure that all your facilities and equipment are up-to-date.

What do you have to think about when it comes to yacht equipment?

Life jackets and life rafts, man-over-board detectors and satellite transmitters, first aid kit, flashlight, anchor with chain, position lights – the list of yacht equipment is not exactly short. Nevertheless, you should not do without some basic equipment. Please also consider that tools and a liability insurance are part of the equipment. Of course you can always contact us at Merk & Merk. With us you can buy your yacht and also get professional advice regarding the yacht equipment. With our exclusive Yacht Service we take care of your equipment and you can sit back and relax.

A first, small overview of the most important equipment you will get below.

The yacht equipment around the engine

• Engine and transmission oil
• Fuel and oil filters
• Coolant and cooling water
• Fuel level in the tank
• Visual inspection of the engine

The electric yacht equipment

For the electrical equipment you should think about the following components:

• Position lights including spare bulbs
• navigation equipment
• Radio set (VHF sets have a coverage of almost 30 nautical miles in good weather)
• Battery and water check indicator
• Pump (If all your pumps on board are automatic, it would make sense to get a manual one as well in case of power failure)
• Navigational aids, such as compass
• paper chart
• anchor winch
• Switches and circuit breakers
• Boat documents
• Think about upgrading your boat to an independent solar yacht with solar panels.

• safety belts
• Fire extinguisher, fire blanket
• First aid kit
• distress beacons

Especially in the field of emergency signaling devices, there are now a lot of new technologies, all of which you can purchase from us.

• Automatic Identification System for Man Overboard Rescue: The system sends a warning message within seconds to all local and for this system receptive ships.
• EPIRB – Emergency Positioning Life Beacon: This locating device sends a signal to help locate a lifeboat or even people in distress.
• SART – Search and Rescue Transmitter: When a radar beam hits the device, it sends back a radar signal, creating a strong “echo” on the radar screen.
• PLB – Personal Life Beacon (devices for swim wests): This swim-ready device contains a digital display that accurately shows live status as well as GPS coordinates.
• Satellite Pager, like Garmin InReach Mini 2: Communication without cellular reception, SOS messages, high battery life – travel safely with this satellite communication device.

The yacht equipment at the clothing

With regard to the choice of clothing, you should orient yourself on the weather conditions that currently prevail where you are setting off with your sailing yacht. Basically, the ideal sailing clothing is multifunctional and can be stowed quickly to save space. It should always be designed for different conditions and bring high resistance to moisture, UV radiation, salt and mechanical abrasion. When choosing yacht equipment, place emphasis on high quality fabrics to ensure durable and reliable functionality. You will thank yourself in wind, downpours or strong sunlight. In addition, the garments should be breathable and guarantee you a high level of comfort. After all, you need to perform at your best while sailing all day long. This is what belongs in your suitcase when it comes to equipment:

• waterproof and windproof sailing jacket
• water- and windproof trousers
• sailing shoes
• sailing gloves and hats
• light clothing
• sun protection

After a long sailing trip, we at Merk & Merk will take over yacht management for you at any time. Whether repairs, maintenance or painting – we bring your yacht back to shape.

If you have any questions about yacht equipment, we will be happy to advise you personally at any time. Simply get in touch with us!

"Absolutely brilliant! Mike at Global Yacht Services was recommended to me when I was stuck in one of those typical yachting dilemmas when you need something totally random resolved almost immediately but nobody in the ‘real world’ seems to understand the urgency. Thank you so much for getting me out of that spot of bother when it was mid-season and everything was starting to seem a little too much!" − Lucy Simmonds, Chief Stewardess M/Y Mirage

"I have had a long and fruitful relationship with Mike and his team at Global. Not only does Mike look after us when we are in the US or Caribbean, but also supplies us when we are in Europe, more often than not with more competitive prices than his European counterparts. Mike gives the personal touch to his business and nothing is too much trouble. He will often just pop down to the boat on his way somewhere else to make sure all is well and to find out if there is anything we need. I consider Mike to be a friend and we always go out for dinner or go on a little adventure whenever we are in town." − Captain Richard Humphreys, S/Y Salute

"I have been working with Mike at Global Yacht Services for many years now on a variety of yachts and am grateful for his consistent professional and personal service. Whether it was a refrigerator being delivered half way across the world or a last minute one of a kind part being personally delivered to the yacht on a Sunday night in Florida, Mike and Global Yacht Services are constantly on the ball. I find it liberating working with a company that considers customer service it’s number 1 priority rather than being lost in a crowd. Keep up the great work Mike…" − Mike O'Neill, Captain, Yacht Penny Mae

"The best endorsement I can give for Global Yacht Services is they are yet to disappoint. Mike has consistently delivered on his promises in the most effective and efficient manner; and has got our fleet out of some interesting situations, and with a smile all the way. Keep up the good work Mike and thanks for years of support...." − Andrew Cosgreave, fleet captain

The International Yachting Media is the reference point for boating in the world

The International Yachting Media  is the worlds most widely read  boating magazine . Whit its portal It  broadcast its original contents in four languages and in more than 200 countries in the world developing 950,000 views a week.  The web portal is the main source of information for  yacht  and boat  owners , the place where they can find anything about their  boating passion . If you’re looking for advices on how to keep your sailboat, a tutorial on how to do the " fishermans knot ", to sale your boat or even the closest port to your needs, you came to the right place. The International Yachting Media is, indeed, a real huge web portal that is not limited to the publication of the  magazine  and its news but that, totally for free for charge, offers special sections that range from the  sale of marine equipment  to  boat technical files , from the  ports and anchorages pilot book  - the most complete and most up-to-date one of the Mediterranean - to the possibility of buying and selling a sailboat or a powerboat. Before exploring the various sections of the website, it is important to highlight that  The International Yachting Media is the only portal in the world to be structured as Wikipedia : all users can, in fact, interact with the pages of the portal and modify their contents, contributing to their constant updating and cooperate actively with our team. The secret of our success lies in a simple, functional, engaging communication that, with its many sections, meets all the  boat owners  needs. One of the most visited areas is our  online boating magazine  where, every day, we publish articles that reflect all boat owners interests. Not only press releases about the launch of  new boats  but also  sea trials of super yachts, sailbots or maxiribs  and the corresponding reviews  (not always positive),  how-to articles and useful tutorials for  navigation , insights to  boat shows ,  travel stories and diaries . The  online port pilot book  of The International Yachting Media is the largest and most popular pilot book in Europe and  the only one to have ports and anchorages on the same map . Designed to offer a simple access even from mobile devices, it offers the possibility of having files of ports and anchorages always at your fingertips, with essential information, descriptions, satellite views, photos and videos. Like other sections of the portal, the pilot book is structured in order to be readily available to users.  Everyone can add or update the file of a port or an anchorage  and, after a quick moderation, new informations will be put online. Moreover,  readers contribution will be awarded with the publication of their username in the files they have updated. Among the most visited sections of the portal,  Boats for sale  is particularly relevant. Updated in January 2019, it was made even more user-friendly, safe and captivating. Today, "boats for sale" is the only platform of the market to be 100% free of charge, for both boat owners and brokers. The presence of more than 25,000 ads uploaded clearly shows the great success of the section All you have to do is look for the model of the sail boat or motor boat you want to be able to find it among thousands of occasions. If, instead of a boat, you are looking for second hand marine accessories,  Nautical Classifieds   is the right option for you. Users can add their own ads for free or search the right product/service, from clothing to deck equipment, from boat trailers to berths. Virtual Boat Show  provides users with the complete files of the new models offered by the worlds most prestigious boat manufacturers that, always free, can add their range and make it available to readers.  Boats data sheet , instead, offers the technical files of  more than 15,000 discontinued boats . Like other sections of the portal, all files can be easily updated by users. The innovative services of The International Yachting Media also include  Boat Holidays . This section offers both the opportunity to  host passengers on board your own boat  and the search of another users (or charter) boat anywhere in the world.  This section is the only one of the market to be totally free of charge for both parties . Indeed, transactions are directly managed by the interested parties. Our task is just to put them in touch. The reader can easily distinguish between the offers of charter company and those of private boat owners through the simple, user-friendly graphic design that identifies the category. A new way to enjoy summer holidays and, above all, a new efficient way to give visibility to all those who organize amazing boating holidays on dreamy yachts. Anyone involved in the nautical sector must be aware that, although it is a constantly evolving reality, it is also firmly anchored in traditions and nautical terms that don’t want to be overcome. In order to meet neophytes meets and allow professionals to improve their knowledge, The International Yachting Media makes available its own  nautical dictionary and translator . The latter, too, is totally editable. So that when you’re on a sailboat and you are told to "fuck the mainsail", you will know exactly what they are asking you to do. Last but not least,  Nautical Arts and Crafts  is a section where users are transported within arts and crafts that, between anecdotes and descriptions, pay tribute to all the nautical professions that have become real forms of art over years. Fair wind from the staff of The International Yachting Media
