The association has drawn up an environmental policy in which we have reviewed the risks involved in our activities. Authorities are placing higher demands on
us and for boating at sea.
The club's environmental work
There are three points that will be the focus of the association’s work:
– Environmental plan
An objective for the association
– Inventory of risks
A checklist of those who may constitute
a risk to our work in the association
– List of actions
After the inventory, create a three-level plan of action to be taken
(high, medium and low risk). Establish clear procedures for members in case of danger to persons, the environment, etc.
and property.
IMPORTANT FOR THE SPRING CLEANING OF BOATS
Scraping, sanding and maintenance operations on own boat
During bottom scraping and bottom painting, the paint residues shall be collected for disposal. This is particularly true for older wooden boats where lead monoxide may be present. Put a tarp under the boat or cover the ground with construction plastic to collect sanding and paint residue.
Leave the collected residues as hazardous waste in the environmental shed. Suck up the scraping residue immediately after scraping with a coarse vacuum cleaner.
During sanding operations, the boat should be covered to prevent the spread of sanding dust. In this case too, the ground must be covered. Tip: Wet sand or use a sanding machine connected to a vacuum cleaner. Remember to also use personal protective equipment.
Boat bottom washing by high pressure washing is only allowed if they are painted with approved bottom paint.
