Plexiglas windows or dodger windows that contains AMMONIA!  This can seriously 
damage the surfaces.     

PROPANE BBQ 

Propane BBQ is attached to the stern rail, covered by a black canvas cover.  A 
complimentary propane bottle is provided in the Starboard cockpit locker.  If you like to 
BBQ then it might be advisable to purchase extra propane.  Make sure control valve is set to 
“Closed” position prior to attaching to canister.  Please ensure the BBQ has cooled down 
completely before replacing the canvas cover.  Enjoy!    

COCKPIT TABLE  

A cockpit table is permanently attached to the steering pedestal, and is held by small braces, 
which clamp into preset brackets.  Table should be lowered when not in use.  

DINGHY 

An inflatable dinghy is available with

 

ESCAPE

 and is sometimes known as the “

Escapee

”.  

A hand pump and inflation hose are also kept in the starboard cockpit lazeratte.  The dinghy 
will normally stay firmly inflated, but the pump should be taken on any extended dinghy 
adventures just in case for safety. The Dinghy is equipped with oars for fun and/or exercise 
(also emergencies). The oars are locked into position on the port and starboard side of the 
dingy floor.  A repair kit is stored with the spare parts.  Remove and store the oars before 
towing the dinghy while sailing or motoring.
