Boat flooding risks:
- Before putting to sea, always check that portholes, deck hatches and any other
openings that could allow flooding are shut.
- When under sail, close all seacocks, except the engine water intake.
- Periodically check:
- Skin fittings, seacocks and pipes are watertight
- Proper emptying of the cockpit drains.
- Watertightness of the stern gland.
WARNING!
Cockpit locker lids must be fastened shut before putting to sea. This is particularly
important for those lockers representing a significant flooding risk (e.g. starboard helm seat
locker)

- Fire-extinguishers are subject to national regulations, and for this reason they are
not supplied with your boat.
- We recommend you to equip your boat with fire extinguishers meeting the ISO
9094-1 standard, with the following specifications:
a) Minimum capacity per extinguisher: 5A/34B,
b) Minimum combined extinguisher capacity: 10A/68B,
c) 1 extinguisher within:
- 1 m of cockpit for boats <10 m or 2 m for boats >10m
- 2 m of the extinguisher opening for dowsing the engine,
d) 1 extinguisher within 2 m of the cooker,
e) 1 extinguisher within 5 m of the bunks.
f)
CO
2
extinguishers may be placed in accommodation areas only where flammable
liquids are present (e.g. galley) or where there is powered electrical equipment.
There must not be more than one CO
2
extinguisher per area at risk, and its
maximum capacity must not exceed 2 kg.
Only compatible replacement parts must be used in fire protection systems. They must
bear the same markings and be technically equivalent.
In addition, a fire blanket should be stored close to the galley — very useful
particularly in the event of a pan fire involving oil.
