The Club provides properly sized shore mooring lines equipped with shock absorbers and safety systems to minimise the risk of failure. If you notice any issues, please contact us.<\/li>\n<li>Install fenders of the appropriate size and pressure if inflatable. A minimum of four fenders per side is recommended. Replace them if they frequently lose pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Check that your boat maintains a safe distance from the dock. During low-pressure weather systems, sea levels rise and boats tend to move closer to the dock. Strong winds and wave action inside the marina can further affect positioning.\n<ul>\n<li>Boats between 8 and 14 metres: minimum distance of 2 m.<\/li>\n<li>Boats between 14 and 24 metres: minimum distance of 3 m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Empty bilges and holding tanks. This service is available at the Service Station and is free of charge for Club users.<\/li>\n<li>If you own a sailing yacht and do not plan to use it for a period of time, it is advisable to remove the sails, especially the headsails. Otherwise, ensure sails and covers are securely fastened.<\/li>\n<li>Remove canvas covers and awnings to prevent deterioration.<\/li>\n<li>If you use a cockpit cover, install a support pole or similar system to prevent water from accumulating and eventually entering the boat.<\/li>\n<li>Disconnect the shore power connection whenever possible.<\/li>\n<li>Inspect your boat at least once a month and always before severe weather conditions.<br \/>\nIn the event of a storm, only access your boat when accompanied by the Club\u2019s marina staff. For your safety, avoid approaching breakwaters or seawalls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                                                \n                                            \n                                        \n                                    <\/div><!-- end card-body -->\n                                <\/div><!-- end collapse -->\n                            <\/div><!-- end card -->\n                                                                                <div class=\"card\">\n                                <div class=\"card-header\">\n                                    <h3>\n                                        <a href=\"#\" class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-02\" aria-expanded=\"true\"><i class=\"ico-opener\">&nbsp;<\/i>Do you need to Winter Package your boat?<\/a>\n                                    <\/h3>\n                                <\/div><!-- end card-header -->\n                                <div id=\"collapse-02\" class=\"collapse\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"card-body\">\n\n                                        \n                                            \n                                                \n                                                    <p>If you are unable to use your boat for several months, a good option is to store it ashore to protect it from the effects of the marine environment.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, remember that this service is available through <strong>Varador l\u2019Escala<\/strong>, which offers its <strong>Winter Package<\/strong>, as well as through the Club\u2019s partner nautical companies, which provide special conditions for members.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46054\" src=\"https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45.jpg\" alt=\"2022-nauticescala-c_Poseidrone-Aeries, Marina-45\" width=\"1800\" height=\"907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-1024x516.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-768x387.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-1536x774.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-1000x504.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-700x353.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-350x176.jpg 350w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-100x50.jpg 100w, https:\/\/nauticescala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022-nauticescala-c-poseidrone-aeries-marina-45-600x302.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n\n                                                \n                                            \n                                        \n                                    <\/div><!-- end card-body -->\n                                <\/div><!-- end collapse -->\n                            <\/div><!-- end card -->\n                                                                        <\/div><!-- end accordion -->\n                <\/div><!-- end accordion-block -->\n            \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for keeping your boat in the best condition if you plan not to use it for a few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46050,"parent":0,"template":"","news-categories":[954],"news-tags":[],"class_list":["post-21498","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-categories-environment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.7 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Safety tips for the fall and winter season &#8211;
