Buoyage of the fairway up to Sønderho Havn
With regards to a safe passage we recommend, that you read the text about the buoyage principles and fairway up to Sønderho! – Starboard and port markings could fool you!
Jetty and floating pontoons
There is no jetty in Sønderho Havn. Therefore, it is advised to moor boats at the sandbank along the fairway or to swing at anchor.
At the dock off Børsen there is a 40 metre long and two-metre-wide footbridge (or quay), that ends as a floating pontoon with a deck of oak planks.
The ponton, with a freeboard of 50 centimetric, is moving with the tide. The mean tide amplitude at Fanø is about 1.3 metre. Therefore, the pontoon is connected to the footbridge by a hinged access boardwalk. You may moor at the quay. However, with regards to other skippers, we kindly ask you only to use the quay as short time as possible.
Further, there is another, but smaller pontoon in the dock with a 35 centimetric freeboard.
Anemometer and tide gauge
In 2022 there will be mounted an anemometer and a tide- and water gauge in the harbour to measure the actual wind- and water-levels. The information will be available at the harbour and on Denmark’s Metrological Institute’s homepage (dmi.dk). On dmi.dk you can also download local Tide tables for i.e., Esbjerg, Nordby, Ribe Lock (Ribe Kammersluse) and Mandø.
