2.11 Ventilation/Airing
We have taken the following measures for a proper ventilation of all rooms:
Chain locker
Certain ventilation is achieved through the hawser port in the cover of the chain locker and through its bilge
holes.
Living cabins/ Salon and forward quarter
Two ventilators
Aft cabin
2 side light /bull’s eyes showing to the cockpit
Components:
1 deck ventilator, 6 side lights, 2 folding hatches
2.12 Board ducts, sea water valves
Openings below the water line are possible weak spots. That is why we pay special attention to them.
All board ducts in the underwater part, with the exception of the duct for the transmitter of the echo sounder,
consist of brass-made screwed joints with spherical sea valves and hose nipples. All hose connections are
secured with two clips each.
Maintenance note
The tightness of board ducts should be inspected regularly.
Check and retighten all hose clips and stuffing boxes of valves if necessary.
Note
In case of spherical valves a transverse lever-direction indicates : CLOSED
And a longitudinal direction means: OPEN.
Attention
A regular Inspection if saltwater comes out of the exhaust is urgently advisable.
Attention
Close all sea valves if you leave the yacht for a longer time. Valves being not
clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room, should only be opened for use.
