Similar to an aircraft, the initial and final maneuvers of a boat journey are the ones that demand the utmost attention in the nautical realm. Bringing a vessel closer to the dock for mooring necessitates a great deal of caution. Likewise, departing from the harbor and aligning the bow towards the open sea is a maneuver that demands concentration, a precise sequence of actions, and a set of precautions to ensure smooth and secure execution.
In this comprehensive analysis, we will delve into the rules to bear in mind while at the helm, ensuring a safe departure from the harbor. This allows sailors to then fully dedicate themselves to navigation without apprehensions looming.
Should you also wish to refresh your knowledge of docking procedures, we have previously released a couple of informative guides: the first provides a practical ten-point list detailing how to achieve a flawless mooring, while the second offers an in-depth exploration of anchoring one’s boat in open waters. By incorporating these guidelines into your seafaring repertoire, you’ll be better equipped to handle both the intricacies of departure and arrival with confidence and expertise.
 

Maneuver to leave the port: list of actions to leave the quay

The process of smoothly leaving your mooring involves several essential steps that need to be carefully followed. These steps ensure a safe and efficient departure from the dock or berth, whether you’re operating a sailboat or a motorboat.
To begin with, it’s crucial to start by turning on the engine, making sure that the throttle is in the neutral position and the gear is disengaged. Additionally, it’s always a good practice to check the exhaust water discharge flow at the stern to ensure proper cooling.
At this juncture, after clearing the deck of any objects that might hinder the disconnecting maneuvers of your boat, be it a sailboat or a motorboat, you can proceed.
Taking the example of a classic mooring setup with double lines ashore and one or two lines from the side of the canal (cleat) where the boat is perpendicular to the dock with its stern facing the land, the first thing to do is assess the wind direction during the operation.
Once this is done, proceed by releasing the leeward line first, while the remaining lines should be able to hold the boat securely. A couple of observations about wind conditions: in the case of strong winds, the leeward line might not be taut due to the air pressure on the hull. Conversely, in the absence of wind, it would be wise to release the bowline last to prevent the stern of the boat (whether motorized or sailing) from hitting the dock.
It’s worth noting: Sailing in the Adriatic: Nautical Routes from San Giorgio di Nogaro to Lignano Sabbiadoro
When the bowline (cleat) is completely slack, you can proceed with retrieval without the risk of getting entangled, and then finally set off to navigate within the harbor.
This process can be further customized based on the specific vessel, weather conditions, and the layout of the mooring area. Keeping a keen eye on safety procedures and environmental factors will contribute to a smooth departure and an enjoyable sailing or boating experience.

Pass through the port with the boat and exit

We have cast off our moorings, engaged the engine forward, and are now able to proceed towards the harbor exit. As we embark on this phase of our journey, there are several essential rules and considerations that demand our attention.
First and foremost, let’s discuss the speed limits. Despite minor local variations, a general guideline dictates maintaining a speed of no more than 2 to 3 knots. This cautious pace serves to prevent the creation of disruptive waves that might inconvenience other vessels still docked or anchored nearby. However, even as we adhere to this premise, it’s crucial to always maintain a steady course during our navigation within the harbor.
Navigating through the harbor demands constant vigilance and a measured approach. We must be prepared to respond promptly to any unforeseen vessel traffic or changing circumstances. If we encounter other boats suddenly traversing our path, we should be ready to halt our progress if necessary. Alternatively, signaling our presence using the onboard horn becomes crucial, particularly if we hold the right of way in the given situation.
Continuing on this topic of right of way, it’s also beneficial to refresh our memory regarding the protocol: vessels departing the harbor always have precedence over those entering, a universal rule that promotes smoother traffic flow. A notable exception to this rule, however, exists at the port of Brindisi. Here, a specific ordinance governs the entrance and exit procedures, leading to an inversion of this norm.
Once our boat finally emerges from the confines of the harbor, the time comes to retrieve the fenders both at the bow and stern. Stowing these fenders in their designated compartments is of paramount importance to prevent any hindrance to the upcoming navigation.
In this phase, attention must shift towards a broader maritime perspective. The dynamic interplay between vessels, the influence of currents, and the consideration for environmental factors such as wind and tide all come into play. Such comprehensive awareness ensures not only our safety but also contributes to the overall harmony of maritime traffic.
Therefore, as we navigate beyond the harbor’s sheltered waters, embracing a comprehensive understanding of maritime etiquette, rules, and situational awareness is essential. This knowledge empowers us to navigate confidently, respecting the rights and safety of fellow seafarers, and ushering in a new chapter of our maritime journey with finesse and respect for the vast aquatic world that lies ahead.
