New Year's resolution 1: Check safety equipment
Checking safety equipment: At the beginning of the new year, every sailor should check their safety equipment and replace it if necessary. This includes life jackets, life rings and fire extinguishers.
- Life jackets: swim, breathe, wait - 24 automatic life jackets in a large comparison test
- Fire extinguisher test: How to extinguish burning lithium batteries
- Testing extinguishing sprays: small fire extinguishers for on-board use
- Safety: Selection and use of shore power cables - what you should bear in mind
New Year's resolution 2: Complete a first aid course
Refreshing first aid skills: It is important that skippers know how to administer first aid in an emergency. You should therefore regularly attend first aid courses to refresh your knowledge.
New Year's resolution 3: Prevent repairs
Regular yacht maintenance: A well-maintained sailing boat is safer and more reliable. Skippers should therefore have regular maintenance work carried out in order to recognise and rectify problems at an early stage. Refits are also a good idea.
New Year's resolution 4: Take care of the environment
Environmentally conscious behaviour: Protecting the environment and the oceans should also be a priority for sailors. Care should therefore be taken not to throw rubbish into the water and to use environmentally friendly fuels.
New Year's resolution 5: Take part in regattas
Sailing is not only a popular leisure activity, but also a competitive sport that requires passion, skill and teamwork. Taking part in regattas offers sailors the opportunity to improve their skills on the water, compete with others and experience team spirit. Training at a sailing school is also helpful for this step.
New Year's resolution 5: Explore new hunting grounds
Exploring new waters: Water sports enthusiasts often tend to stick to familiar waters. In the new year, however, you should resolve to explore new waters and gain new experiences.
New Year's resolution 6: Community among water sports enthusiasts
Promoting community: Sailors should also work on promoting community among water sports enthusiasts in the new year. This can be done by taking part in regattas, organising trips together or supporting environmental protection projects.
New Year's resolution 7: Tidiness on board
Organisation of the yacht: To keep the sailboat tidy and in good working order, it is important to carry out regular tidying up and to have everything in its place.
New Year's resolution 8: Entries in the logbook
Keep a logbook: Keeping a water sports diary can help you track your progress and continuously improve.
New Year's resolution 9: Check the weather forecasts
Keep an eye on weather forecasts: Regularly checking weather forecasts is crucial to prepare for possible weather changes and to be safe on the water.
New Year's resolution 10: Experiences during the charter trip
Discover more local cuisine and culture: You could plan to visit regional restaurants and markets during the charter cruise to learn about the culinary and cultural specialities of the respective location. This can not only broaden your culinary horizons, but also create a deeper understanding of the local culture and offer unforgettable experiences.
