SeaHelp Livestream: Lecture on the subject of diesel spraying

About so important topics like fuels or diesel plague one speaks actually on the fairs, but the classical boat fairs as for example the boot Duesseldorf or the Austrian Boat Show Boot Tulln were cancelled Corona-conditioned, the personal exchange of the skippers among themselves and/or with the service providers from the boat industry can take place probably only if they...

SeaHelp: Top 20 boat names of our members

Anyone who walks across the jetties of marinas will notice that many owners lack the necessary creativity when it comes to boat names. The situation is different with human beings than with boat names. The naming of a child has probably already pushed many a young marriage to the limit of its capacity, until the (loosely based on Efraim Kishon)...

Update<\/h2>\r\nObviously, some skippers didn't read the SeaHelp article about the danger of lines in the propeller, or were just unlucky: On Saturday, another SeaHelp boat had to go out to cut a line from the propeller of a yacht. This shows once again how topical the topics described by SeaHelp are.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"SeaHelp This line got almost \"perfectly\" caught in the propeller.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"SeaHelp SeaHelp employee goes underground: Here he can still cut the propeller free without any diving gear.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"SeaHelp As so often: The buoy was still hanging on the line.

Lake Garda is considered the largest inland lake in Italy. Because of its location, between Germany, Austria and the Italian Adriatic Sea, it is very popular with tourists and day trippers who want to enjoy a few days of Italian ambience. More than 24 million overnight stays were counted by the tourist businesses located around Lake Garda, many visitors bring their own boat or have their yacht stationed in one of the numerous marinas on Lake Garda.\r\n

Experienced SeaHelp base manager<\/h2>\r\nThe base is operated by Claudio Brighenti<\/a>, an experienced sailor and instructor, who practically grew up on Lake Garda and knows the inland water with all its peculiarities just as well as his vest pocket. SeaHelp responded to the requests of numerous owners who had heard about the special service of the breakdown service and wanted to become part of the large SeaHelp community with bases in Croatia, Slovenia, Northern Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.\r\n

Also SeaHelp-Insurance at Lake Garda<\/h2>\r\nSeaHelp members receive fast, in part free assistance in the event of a breakdown at sea, benefit from discounts from SeaHelp's benefit partners and can take out affordable boat insurance through SeaHelp Insurance. In contrast to many other boat insurers, SeaHelp-Insurance, with its numerous bases, has personal contacts directly on site and makes every effort to settle any claims as quickly and unbureaucratically as possible.\r\n

200-horsepower emergency boat<\/h2>\r\nIn order to ensure that rapid assistance is also available on Lake Garda, a seven-metre special boat has been provided for future operations, powered by a 200 HP Honda outboard engine. A winch for salvage operations and all kinds of equipment to help owners of damaged boats are also on board\r\n

Base manager experienced sailor<\/h2>\r\nIn addition to his job as SeaHelp roadside assistance, Claudio Brighenti is also a sailing instructor and junior coach of the IJSA (International Junior Sailing Academy)<\/a> and trains the next generation of sailors for future competitions.\r\n

Sailing school<\/h2>\r\nAs a father of three children, he can, so to speak, project his own experiences with the offspring onto his sailing students. His coaching seemed to have worked well for them so far: leading positions at international championships up to participation in the Olympics pave the way for his students. Whereby he claims to train the young sailors not only for competitions but for life.\r\n

Fast help guaranteed<\/h2>\r\nWhen he's not training the next generation of sailors or helping SeaHelp members during the summer months, you can find him mostly at the Circolo Nautica Brenzone. His professional qualifications are as impressive as his nautical skills: In 1993 he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in computer science from the \"G. Marconi\" Institute (Rovereto). Before that he already had the Yachtmaster license for sailing and motor boats level 1 F.I.V. (Italian Sailing Federation) and worked as an instructor. He also holds the international VDWS instructor licence<\/a> for dinghies and catamarans.\r\n\r\nWith this, Claudio Brighenti should probably have the best prerequisites to provide competent assistance to SeaHelp members.

Currently the bridge is closed in the morning, so that skippers who want to go south will have to take a detour of more than 13 nautical miles.\r\n

Bascule bridge near Tisno remains closed in the morning<\/h2>\r\nTo explain the situation:<\/strong> The island of Murter lies in the northwestern part of the Sibenik archipelago and is separated from the mainland by the Tisno Channel. A 37-metre-long bascule bridge near Tisno connects Murter with the mainland. The island is very popular with water sports enthusiasts, as there are many interesting bays in the southern area, some of which have sandy beaches. Due to the fact that the bridge only opens in the evening, day trips to this region are only possible with a detour of 13.5 nautical miles, as the bridge currently only opens in the evening.\r\n\r\n ATTENTION:<\/strong> The times currently given in the Internet<\/a> do not correspond to reality and mislead skippers.\r\n\r\nIt says here (as at 26.07.2020):\r\n
Bridge lifting timetable:\r\n1 May \u2013 1 October \u2013 every day: 9 am - 9.30 am, and 5 pm - 5.30 pm\r\n1 October \u2013 1 May \u2013 Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9 am \u2013 9.30 am<\/blockquote>\r\n

Water sports enthusiasts the most loyal tourists<\/h2>\r\nIn our opinion, an owner and SeaHelp member was right to complain about this rather unfriendly behaviour of the administration towards the water sports enthusiasts. The competent Croatian authority, which ordered the morning opening of the bridge on the island of Murter to be cancelled without replacement, has probably forgotten one thing: Water sports enthusiasts, especially boat and yacht owners and sailors are among the most loyal tourists in Croatia, and even in the times of the Corona pandemic they were the first to return to Croatia as tourists. Statistics, which are also available to the Croatian National Tourist Board, support the assumption that boat owners in particular stay much longer in Croatia than many other tourists and support the Croatian economy with significantly higher spending per person per day.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n"); jQuery.each(this.attributes, function () { if (this.name == 'data-iframe' || this.name == 'data-') return; iframe.attr(this.name.replace(/^data-/, ''), this.value); }); jQuery(iframe).insertAfter(jQuery(this)); jQuery(this).remove(); }); AI_responsive_widget(); }, 50); }); jQuery(window).resize(function () { AI_responsive_widget(); }); }
