Driving a car has the skills of driving, and driving a yacht also has the skills of driving a yacht. As a yacht enthusiast who loves sailing culture, having some skills in sailing a yacht can help you maximize the pleasure of sailing a yacht.


1. Voice navigation



The speed of sound travels very quickly, and the speed of sound at room temperature is 340m/s (1225km/h). Therefore, we often feel that the speed of sound is extremely fast and ignore the mystery. In fact, sound navigation is a great tool that has to be used when it is smoky or close to cliffs at night.


2. The thumb rule



The rule of thumb sounds a bit bizarre, but in fact the rule of thumb is really a wonderful driving skill. In many legends the old captains were able to control their ships and obstacles within a safe distance of one finger. You can also try it when you are standing on the driving seat of the yacht and explore the mysteries!


3. The one-twelfth rule



The tidal range of the sea is divided into 12 levels. The first change occurs in the first hour of sailing, and so on. When driving at sea, always pay attention to the ebb and flow of sea water.


4. Don’t drive fatigued



The driving time of each captain must be well controlled, and driving should not be fatigued. Be sure to take a break when you drive for more than half an hour. Otherwise, the work efficiency will be very low. If you work more than four hours in a row, it is likely that your concentration will drop, the pleasure of the yacht will not be able to be enjoyed, and it may cause safety hazards.
