Rhine: Area training for pleasure craft skippers
Sarres-Schockemöhle Yachting therefore offers training courses lasting several days on a motor yacht from Lahnstein on various dates each year. In addition to general aspects of seamanship such as mooring and casting off or important harbour manoeuvres, the training cruises, which last from Friday lunchtime to Sunday evening, also cover areas that are not usually part of the practical training for the pleasure craft licence, but are very important for an area such as the Rhine. In addition to lockage, this also includes radio communication on board, for example.
The focus is always on the area itself: On the winding mountain route, for example, the safe coexistence of pleasure craft and commercial shipping takes centre stage.
This includes the function and significance of the so-called "Wahrschaureregelung" traffic control system and the use of the blue sign when travelling downhill. The aim is also to develop an understanding of the handicaps that the vehicles, which are often more than a hundred metres long, have when manoeuvring - regardless of whether they are single drivers, pushed or coupled convoys.
