Yachting is more than 300 years old already. Traditions in yachting were developed both of necessity and under the influence of ceremonies. Who doesn't know signs: woman on a shipboard is for misfortune; to point the finger at a ship which is going out from the port is to doom it to death; you dropped a mop overside – troubles will follow... These signs were made up under influence of frequent coincidences. Where did they come from? If someone investigated, he would discover that they come from following the ordinary etiquette.

If somebody is moving to another part of the country, everything in the household has to be relocated. If someone in the house owns a boat, moving it safely will be a prime concern. Boat movers require the boat to be properly prepared for transporting. They will not move the boat unless certain details are taken care of. The doors need to be closed properly. Batteries and cables must be disconnected. Boats should be covered by shrink-wrap. The shrink-wrap is a heat sealed surface to ward off hot sun and water from chafing the surface. Wooden boats are transported in a custom cradle.
