6.7. Sugar-scoop shower
The shower on the aft steps comprises both a hot and a cold water circuit. It is located on the aft beam
on the starboard side. Shut-off valves are located in the starboard engine compartment.
6.8. Skeg keels with grey-water tank option
WARNING
The skeg keels serve as grey-water holding tanks beneath the hulls. Damage to these appendages
could alter the vessel’s buoyancy. In this event, shut the tank off by closing the seacock located
directly on top of the tank.
7. FLOODING
Risk of the vessel flooding:
-
Keep the hatches, windows, removable panels, doors, ventilation panels or openings closed
when it is appropriate, for example in severe weather conditions or sailing at high speeds.
-
Ensure that hatches, deck hatch covers or any other openings which could lead to flooding are
closed before each time you put to sea.
-
When under sail, close all the valves with the exception of the engine seawater cooling intake.
Periodically check:
-
The watertightness of the through-hulls, seacock valves and pipework.
-
That the cockpit drains are clear.
-
The saildrive gasket joint must be replaced according to the engine manufacturer’s schedule
.
WARNING
The hatch covers in the sugar scoops must be locked shut before every time you put to sea. This is
particularly important, as the engine compartments present a significant risk for flooding .
