Is the boat stationary or moving very slowly?
Cruising down the middle of the Regge and your boat stops? Don't panic, here we have some tips listed below! 💚
It is important to sail in the middle of the Regge to avoid a clogged propeller
The Regge is a natural river through the Twente countryside. The water is clean, partly because of the grass plants growing on the bottom. Keep well in the middle of the Regge. On the sides it is shallower and the propeller gets into the grass faster. This means the propeller can get stuck and as a result you will sail slower or even barely. If this does happen, pull the throttle all the way forward and all the way back. Repeat this a few times.
Sailing a whisper boat
The throttle of this little boat is on the right next to the steering wheel. It allows you to sail forwards and backwards and control your speed. You control the boat with a round handlebar, which works the same as in a car.
Important before departure!
- Are the ropes inboard and the plugs properly seated in the boat? Then you can sail away.
- Is there water in the boat? Check that the plugs are properly secured in the boat. The plugs can be found in the middle of the boat, or in the left and right corners.
Still not getting better?
- Then turn the engine OFF and remove the grass from the propeller with your hand. This will require your arm to go into the water about up to your elbow. Hopefully you can now move forward again!
Sailing with this sloop
The throttle of this little boat is on the right next to the steering wheel. It allows you to sail forward and backward and control your speed. You steer the boat with a round handlebar, which works the same as in a car. Bear in mind that you need to make a big turn to steer the boat, sometimes as much as 1 whole turn of the steering wheel.
Important before departure!
- Are the ropes inboard and the plugs properly seated in the boat? Then you can sail away.
- Is there water in the boat? Check whether the plugs are properly secured in the boat. The plugs can be found in the hatch under the driver's seat, left and right in the corner.
Boat lying still or sailing very slowly?
- Probably there is grass or plants in the propeller. Pull the throttle all the way forward and all the way back, repeat a few times.
