Transport
A land transport can only be carried out with a special-purpose vehicle.
The guidelines for transport are generally the same as for slipping and storage, too.
In addition, the yacht must be supported at forward and after quarters to relieve the structure.
The yacht must be secured with at least 2 appropriate belts.
2.2. Underwater painting
If the boat has not been provided with an underwater painting by the shipyard or the trader, you
should do so or have it done by a specialist firm before the first launch. It extends the durability of
your boat and reduces the tractive resistance.
2.3. Engine, propeller
On our boats a zinc anode is mounted on saildrive and hull as
standard. If the boat is used in fresh water then the zinc anodes
has to be replaced. In fresh water applications use aluminum or
magnesium anodes for best result.
For saildrive is the Volvo part No.: 3888306 anode kit, magnesium
and for hull is the aluminum anode ALU15C from Vetus.
The boat is delivered with an installed drive system ready for operation. The negative terminals of
the batteries have to be connected and to open the valves of the fuel tanks before driving. Make
sure that there is fuel in the tank.
You may only start the engine when the boat is in the water and the seacock is open. Start the
engine according to the operating instructions of the drive system.
Check if cooling water is discharged from the exhaust after the engine is started.
To run in the engine, follow the operating instructions. Do not run the engine with to many revs
and keep to the oil change intervals.
2.4. Equipment
The boat is equipped with a number of basic equipment. Generally it is necessary to complete
the equipment in dependency of the service area.
Check the equipment to operability.
2.5. First voyage
Before starting a “grand voyage”, make yourself familiar with all instruments and devices, even if
this is not your first boat.
You can arrange an instructional trip with your trader.
Get familiar with the reaction of the boat due to course changes with small power. Pay attention
to the propeller effect at running forward and reverse
