Small cause, big effect: Every year Pantaenius handles more than 6000 claims. A large proportion of these could have been prevented by the simplest preventive measures. Here in our prevention tips-section you can find out what owners themselves can do to avoid taking unnecessary risks on the water.

THE FUTURE OF ANTIFOULING, AND WHY IT IS CHANGING

Nobody wants fouling on their boat, but at the same time nobody wants dead waters. Regulations and laws are increasingly restricting the use and composition of antifoulings - the future could lie in diverse and individual solutions.

Anchor correctly

Whether for a swim stop or a whole night, anchoring is part of yachting and water sports. In many harbours in the Mediterranean, you can't do without it. Moreover, it is safety-relevant to master the corresponding manoeuvres. We show you how to anchor properly…

Attention, Winterstorm!

Being well prepared for wet, windy, and cold weather is all part of boat ownership in winter. However, one should not only rely on the work done at the beginning of the winter break. In the face of acute storm warnings, it is advisable to prevent damage with renewed checks and precautions.

FEAR OF LOSING YOUR DEPOSIT

Autumn time is charter time. When local yachts are taken to their winter storage places, the season slowly begins for the charter companies. More and more skippers are enjoying the opportunity to escape the winter at home, at least for a short time. However, one of the biggest financial risks here is the deposit that has to be paid. If the deposit is retained due to damage, this is always an unpleasant surprise.

A THOROUGH CHECK, BEFORE SAILING INTO THE SUNSET

Arrive, unpack, enjoy, leave – nice! If only it could be like this at the beginning of a charter trip! But before you can relax into your holiday, it’s important to check the boat thoroughly and instruct the crew.

Accelerate Safely

Clean, effective and easy to use - for cooking, heating or cooling. Gas-powered systems can now be found on almost every yacht. However, this popular energy source also has a high risk potential.

Check the rig!

While many yacht owners devote themselves to polishing hulls, greasing winches and repainting bulkheads during winter, they often completely overlook one of the most critical parts of their yacht: the rig.

When extinguishing a fire can lead to explosion

Pantaenius explains the essential role played by the battery and why the thoughtless extinguishing of a fire on board can have devastating consequences for both man and yacht.

Emergencies – Cheat Sheet

If a crewmember is seriously injured, the mast breaks or the vessel is taking on water; sometimes even the most experienced sailors fail to react prudently and with the necessary speed.

Anchoring, how to make it go smoothly...

Whether for a short swim, one night or several days, every year a large number of boaters drop anchor close to our shores.

Safe Berthing

Hectic manoeuvres, onlookers at the jetty and a narrow berth - even experienced sailors can feel hot under the collar in such a situation.
