When sailing, you are recommended to walk only on deck zones intended for this purpose. These
zones (catwalks, cockpit, roof, side benches, etc.) are covered with an anti-slip or teak coating,
depending on the option chosen, for moving around in safety.
You are also recommended to use the harnesses, using the various points of attachment listed in
the deck fittings plan and according to the sea, wind or heel conditions on the boat.
The
DUFOUR 500
is equipped with a reboarding ladder integrated in the transom hatch. To use
the ladder, lower the transom hatch by releasing the tow-line then remove the ladder from its
housing and unfurl into position.
A safety ladder is also provided in the event of an emergency. It is located on the transom, and
accessible from the water.

Maintenance
If the vessel has been hit by lightning:
- The protection installation must be inspected to detect physical damage and check
the integrity of the device, as well as the continuity of the grounding protection.
- The compasses, electrical and electronic devices must be examined in order to
ascertain if damage or calibration changes have occurred.
