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 before putting to sea. This is particularly important for
the lockers representing a major flooding risk

- Fire extinguishers are subject to national regulations, 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 (for boats < 10 m) or 2 m (for boats > 10 m) of the cockpit
- 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) CO2 extinguishers may be placed in accommodation areas only where
inflammable liquids are present (e.g. galley) or where there is powered
electrical equipment. There must not be more than one CO2 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.
A safety cloth must be stowed in the galley in the neighbourhood of the cooker to help
extinguish fire in emergency cases.
