COMMON COURTESIES
A characteristic of those who “go down with the ship” - and even those who go down to waterway - is a willingness to help others. It is a tradition of long standing and is based on respect for the rights and wishes of others. In return, there is an expectation of care, attention and courteous behavior from others, at all times.
1. Reduce speed to reduce wash when approaching vessels docked or at anchor.
2. Request permission to raft alongside another vessel if no docking space is available.
3. Put out sufficient fenders when given permission to raft alongside.
4. Request permission to walk across the other boat’s deck to reach the dock. This will usually be granted spontaneously but should be used sparingly.
5. Leave the anchorage or dockside quietly and offer a word of thanks when casting off.
6. Keep quiet in an anchorage or where other boats are docked.
7. Make allowance for wind shifts, and keep clear of other boats’ anchor rodes when anchoring.
8. When visiting a yacht club request permission to dock before doing so; if there is no one in sight, dock in a sensible place and go ashore immediately to find the officer of the day.
9. Follow safe and courteous practices when using a searchlight. It is intended for finding buoys and to assist in docking; it is unlawful, as well as discourteous, to direct the beam at another vessel.
