What are useful things for on the boat?

Index

When you go sailing, it is nice to be well prepared on the water. There are a number of useful things for the boat that are mandatory, for example for safety reasons. There are also useful things for the boat that are indispensable for carefree sailing. We list all the things you need to make your boat trip a success.

Mandatory things on the boat

Some things are mandatory for the boat. This often has to do with security and identification. Do you have a fast boat that can go faster than 20 km per hour? Then a life jacket is mandatory for every person on board. The fast boat operator must wear this life jacket when standing. This is because the driver is more likely to jump ship if something happens.

In addition, there are some mandatory things for the boat if you have a fast motorboat. You must have a boating license, a boat registration certificate, a dead man’s switch (with the cord) and a fire extinguisher of at least 2 kilos.

Do you not need a boating license for your boat and do you only sail in inland waters? Then you don’t need the above things. Of course it can be useful. Even more useful things for the boat are paddles and an anchor.

Carefree sailing

When you go sailing, you naturally want it to be worry-free. However, this is not always the case. Many things can happen along the way, such as not having enough fuel, a broken battery or bad weather. Fortunately, there are plenty of boat things you can have with you to prevent or solve bad scenarios.

Do you want to be sure that you have enough gasoline with you? You can take a jerry can with gasoline on the boat. Other fuel-related accessories may also be useful to keep on your boat, such as a fuel hose or a fuel tank.

Do you have an outboard motor with an electric start? A new (or extra) battery can be very useful if your outboard motor no longer starts.

If you unexpectedly find yourself in bad weather or rough water, it can be a challenge to continue to operate your boat without worries. That is why we have a few tools that make controlling your boat easier. With a steering system you can effortlessly and comfortably keep your boat on course and a hydrofoil makes the boat more manoeuvrable and controllable.

Safely off the boat

Are you mooring the boat? Then it is very nice if it is still in the water when you return. Theft is always lurking, especially if you have not properly locked your boat and engine. Fortunately, an outboard motor lock ensures that your motor is protected against theft. Always make sure that your boat is safely attached to a chain.

Other useful things

Of course, there are also useful everyday things for on the boat. Remember sunscreen to prevent burning on a sunny day and enough water for everyone on board. But taking some cleaning products with you never hurts either. Also check out our blog about what to wear when you go sailing.
