DECLARATION this flooding process: This is not about flooding the submarine function,like a total dive of the boat. In this flooding is about an increase in the draft, for example, it is not continuous on the ground strikes-long are the (changing) current water level is close to the actual draft, boat. Depending on how slow the tide (or flood) comes, this breaking (for permanent waves) to the bottom easily take up and down to 10 minutes – or longer.. On the port ground is always crap. The consequences (... bottom of the fuselage) of this constant whipping you can think so. Aside from hitting each floating- hull damage caused to the bottom (if the boat is in the trough "falls") an enormous shock to the ship / boat. This can damage the electronics, navigation equipment, or other sensitive equipment on board damage / override function.
Now implementing the flooding process: The first hitting (grounding) are front and rear of each hull is a tank flooded (within each 1 to 2 m³). The sum of these volumes is calculated for each yacht size corresponds to an instant cast draft increase as 20 cm. Result: The yacht is immediately due. So no more hit, no damage to the hull bottom or damage to any technique on the yacht. Who mainly in tidal waters car ought to order the additional equipment for his yacht. An additional benefit may be seen more comfortable that in shallow bays at the beginning the discharged water can drop down close under dry land. Some people says it's a gimmick. Others say: Great, because I do not have a hundred meters, or more, paddle possibly even further to the beach or pull about the dinghy. So I'm going to walk on land, great! But if so, then this maneuver properly perform:
