A new safety measure in the club is that helmets MUST be worn when launching boats. By the mast crane, it is recommended to wear a helmet. Loaner helmets are available in the mast shed.

As a sailor, you have ropes in your hands all the time. Therefore, it is good to know the most important knots and hitches. Once you have mastered them, you can safely and quickly solve all the tasks on board where we use ropes.
Danish Sailing Association has made a series of videos where you can see and learn how to make the various knots and hitches.
At the link below you will find a number of good advice from the Danish Sailing Association
Safety tips when moving around the boat when it is on land.
In the video, Arne gives a number of good tips for when you are on your boat while it is on land.
Tie the ladder securely before you climb up onto your boat when it is on land.
In the video below, Ivan explains how badly things can go when you haven't tied and secured your ladder.

Are you also preparing your engine for winter by, among other things, running some coolant through the engine in connection with winter storage?
Are you aware that traditional antifreeze is highly toxic and should not be poured into the harbor or onto the ground? (Just as one should be very careful to avoid getting traditional antifreeze on the skin—and certainly not in the eyes or the stomach!)
Did you also know that it is possible to use non-toxic coolant as an alternative?
