4.1. Stability and buoyancy
Pay attention to the stability and buoyancy of the boat.
All weight dispositions (for example installing a fishing tower, radar or furling mast, and engine
replacement) can have a significant impact on the stability, trim, and performance of the boat.
• The bilge water level should be kept at a minimum.
• The stability of the boat is compromised if any weight is placed in a high position.
In stormy weather, all hatches, compartments and doors should be kept closed to minimize the risk of
flooding.
Breaking waves represent a significant danger to stability.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of flooding, always keep the seacocks closed when not in use
(for example, the seacock for the toilet’s flushing water).
4.1.1. Self-draining systems
The boat is equipped with self-draining systems for the whole deck area. The system is drained through
drain holes in the aft of the boat.
There are drain holes for water in both aft corners of the deck. The openings are directly connected to
the sea. The deck of the boat has been designed to allow the water to drain straight into the sea via the
water gullies.
(1) Drain hole
In addition to rainwater, the drain holes are intended to drain water ending up on the deck through
splashing or from breaking waves.
The drain holes must be open at all times and the holes regularly cleaned by removing any accumulated
debris to prevent clogging.
The system is built so as to drain the water from the deck in normal use. Do not close the taps when
using the boat or when the boat is attached to the dock.
