procedure book is a necessity.
A varied arrangement of tools is, again, a wise investment to have on your boat. Tailor your tool box for
the conditions that you sail. For local sailing, with professional help just a call away, you only need a
small array of tools. However, for long-range cruising, a more extensive supply of tools will be needed.
Your mechanic may be helpful in suggesting tools required for your particular engine installation.

6.5 Anchors, Anchoring And Mooring
The anchor manufacturer suggests an anchor in the 8 to 13 pound range, to be used as a bow anchor
in ordinary conditions. This anchor will only be effective with at least 6 feet of 1/4 inch or heavier gauge
chain, and at least 3/8 inch or heavier nylon line.
Under adverse weather conditions, as much as a 25 pound bow anchor could prove necessary and,
possible, a plow-type anchor might be required.
Inquire in your local area about anchoring procedures relative to the place you plan to visit. Get opinions
from several experienced people and always play it on the safe side in "making up" your anchor as well
as in using it. Do not forget to wire all shackle pins so they cannot come loose under water.
REMEMBER: Lighter anchors are made more effective by increasing the scope: i.e., the ratio of length
of line and chain to depth of water. A 7:1 ratio is recommended. This means using 7 feet of anchor line
for each foot in water depth.
6.6 Lightning Precautions
Your yacht was not provided with a lightning protection system during construction. The reasons are as
follows:
1.
There is not a procedure for lightning protection which has proven reliable under all conditions.
Yachts with elaborate lightning protection systems have sustained serious damage from a direct
lightning strike.
2.
If the builder were to assert that the yacht were lightning protected, it could instill a false sense of
