DECLARATION this flooding process: This is not about flooding the submarine function,like a total dive of the boat. In this flooding is about an increase in the draft, for example, it is not continuous on the ground strikes-long are the (changing) current water level is close to the actual draft, boat. Depending on how slow the tide (or flood) comes, this breaking (for permanent waves) to the bottom easily take up and down to 10 minutes – or longer.. On the port ground is always crap. The consequences (... bottom of the fuselage) of this constant whipping you can think so. Aside from hitting each floating- hull damage caused to the bottom (if the boat is in the trough "falls") an enormous shock to the ship / boat. This can damage the electronics, navigation equipment, or other sensitive equipment on board damage / override function.

Now implementing the flooding process: The first hitting (grounding) are front and rear of each hull is a tank flooded (within each 1 to 2 m³). The sum of these volumes is calculated for each yacht size corresponds to an instant cast draft increase as 20 cm. Result: The yacht is immediately due. So no more hit, no damage to the hull bottom or damage to any technique on the yacht. Who mainly in tidal waters car ought to order the additional equipment for his yacht. An additional benefit may be seen more comfortable that in shallow bays at the beginning the discharged water can drop down close under dry land. Some people says it's a gimmick. Others say: Great, because I do not have a hundred meters, or more, paddle possibly even further to the beach or pull about the dinghy. So I'm going to walk on land, great! But if so, then this maneuver properly perform:

  1. Only at the highest tide or low tide begin the maneuver. Only at very low breakers (waves) begin the maneuver.
  2. Do you have 0.5 m of water under the keel, then contact you yacht, beginning this maneuver. Bug at sea. Now deploy the anchor forward and astern, go to the first, easy grounding.
  3. Now immediately flood tanks, quickly put on. Before you send your people with one snorkel, etc. into the water. The look of a stone-free area close to shore. Where are you going astern. The anchor chain is ...
  4. Mounted on base, anchor chain take strong and tight, stop the machines.
  5. Note: Anchors must have taken the ground. Help out if necessary. Anchor chain must be tight. Otherwise suppressing the wind or water accumulating the yacht farther ashore. Is undesirable!
  6. Enjoy now while bathing or during shore leave ........... (watch change of tide!!)
