Chapter 6

ADMIRALTY LAW

The Admiralty law sometimes referred to as the salvage

law was founded primarily on English law fundamentals

and basically says that a vessel distressed, in danger of

ﬂ ounder, if rendered assistance from a towing company

or private agency, can be forced to relinquish a portion of

the vessels’ worth for the assistance received.

TOWING

In case you ﬁ nd yourself aground or in need of a tow, or

should you want to tow another vessel, keep in mind that

you never use deck hardware or cleats to secure lines

for towing!

Deck hardware is intended for mooring and anchoring, and

is not designed to withstand the strain and pull of towing.

Rather than tie the line to your cleats on deck, it is suggested

that you tie a bridle by passing a line completely around

the hull of your boat to avoid structural damage.

When towing, always stand clear of a taut line, as any type

of line breaking under stress can be extremely dangerous.

The preferred line for towing is double-braided nylon, as

it has sufﬁ cient elasticity to cushion shock loads. Move

slowly and cautiously.

AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY!

DO NOT USE DECK HARDWARE

INCLUDING CLEATS FOR TOWING

OR LIFTING PURPOSES.

DANGER

IN THE EVENT YOUR VESSEL

IS IN DISTRESS

PRIOR TO ALLOWING

ANY TOWING COMPANY

OR PRIVATE AGENCY THE RIGHT

TO PASS A LINE TO YOUR VESSEL,

BE SURE TO ESTABLISH THAT YOU

DO NOT AGREE TO ANY SALVAGE RIGHTS.

ESTABLISH WITH THE CAPTAIN

OR OPERATOR

THAT YOU WISH TO BE ASSISTED

IN A CONTRACT BASIS

AND ESTABLISH A PRICE.

OF COURSE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS,

YOU MAY NOT HAVE THIS OPTION.

USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT!
