Upon the handover of the sail boat, the Lessor and the Lessee shall jointly record the equipment list of the sail boat, which shall include the major parts and equipment of the sail boat, and any defects and deficiencies to be found on the sail boat. Upon takeover, our colleagues shall endeavour to inspect each sail boat with utmost care, so that any potential defects and deficiencies found would not represent a disadvantage for the next Lessee. Therefore, we request everyone to dedicate sufficient time to the handover process, to help reveal all deviations, because the defects not recorded may result in the withdrawal of the deposit upon take-back.

Before leaving for the sailing trip, please make certain that you have all your documents and your skipper’s license with you. EASTCRAFT shall be obliged to check these documents at the letting of the sail boat, and shall only be able to issue the Rental Agreement based on that. If the required documents are not available, then unfortunately we shall not be able to authorise the leaving of the port. We are unable to repay the down payment of a holiday cancelled due to that. During sailing the following documents shall be required: Shipping Bill, Shipping License, Rental Certification, Logbook, Rental Agreement. The Shipping Bill shall only be made available to our Clients in the form of a certified copy, which shall be handed over together with the Rental Agreement. The keeping of a Logbook is obligatory in the case of sail boats subject to charter traffic.

Upon the issue of the sail boat, we shall deliver a lot of information to our Lessees. If you rent one of our sail boats for the first time, then we intend to provide the special knowledge and information required for steering the boat in the form of a short test trip. This test trip shall be suitable for the efficient delivery of all information to you, not only with regard to the sail boat, but also the shipping routes and mooring.

II. General etiquette regarding sailing
The traditions of sailing as a sport are strong, its traditions reach back to historical times. The preservation of these traditions is also part of this “game”. The etiquette established mainly follow the British way of thinking. Part of these rules is also incorporated into the rules of sailing/shipping, and other rules are applied by us as unwritten ones (etiquette). Non-compliance with these rules shall not entail any penalty, however we need to consider that we might cause inconvenience to others.
Sail “in style”, let sailing be a celebration, let us distinguish the time we spend on water from daily routine!
(EastCraft Team)
Stepping up on the board, first we salute the ladies and after the gentlemen according to their age order.
It is not good form to make felt with the visitor, that she/he is a “land-lubber”.
Only barefoot or soft sole shoes are allowed on board.
We always use a flag because it is the honor of the boat.
When two boats sail side by side, in this case only skippers salute each other.
After leaving the port, please always collect fenders.
Before sailing the skipper always arranges the ropes, checkes the safeguars and waterlevels and the visitors.
Ship is obligated to deflection is not done to proscrastinate the digression. We clearly foreshow with 10-20 ship length earlier to be aware of give way to the other boat.
It is not appropriate to pass by close to boats anchored in open water, or whose passengers are sunbathing in open water. Please allow for the intimacy of such boat, especially if people are fishing/angling from the boat.
It is not fair to enforce our right of way in the case of a boat running before wind.
If a larger boat passes by a smaller boat in open water, then it is more elegant and sportsmanlike to do so leeward.
If we see that another boat is in trouble then we should offer our help. If the other boat is in danger, then it is obligatory to provide assistance!
To overtake a boat about to moor and to moor where it intends to is severe rudeness.
If in the port we moor to a cleat to which another boat had moored before, then we should fix our own rope so that if the other boat wants to leave, they should be able to do so without having to untie our rope beforehand. Usually we suggest that our dock rope should be fixed on the dock cleat located on the sail boat, by looping through the cleat.
At the port, fenders should at all times be anchored so that if another boat positions itself next to us then we should help them in order to avoid any injuries. We should always take care of any potential problems arising upon mooring.
When arriving in a foreign port, we should always notify the port master.
It is not allowed to throw our anchor across the anchor of a boat already anchored.
When mooring, always offer your help to the other boat.
No comments should be made with regard to another boat under any circumstances.
If we moor after sailing at night, then we should immediately switch off the position lights.
It is not appropriate to be loud in the port between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., or to “roar” the engine, or to listen to music loudly.
When entering and leaving the port, please proceed slowly at low speed. It is not appropriate to generate waves by high speed.
When entering the port, please give way to boat(s) about to leave, and please only enter the port after that.
Entering and leaving of a port should be performed with the engine on only. Even if this is not an obligatory rule on Lake Balaton, still, entering and leaving the port with sails might frighten others.
Please always leave your boat in the port in a position that would not allow for a rising wind to hit the ropes against the mast. We should allow for our neighbours to rest, therefore we should sufficiently loosen the halyards.
The toilet must never be used in the port. Each port is well equipped, therefore please use the common facilities for washing and toilet purposes at all times.
It is a sin to throw waste and litter into the water. This is damage to the environment and others.
Smokers should not let cigarette ash fly on the windward side.
If there are a lot of people on board, then it is not appropriate to stay in front of the cabin entrance.
