Getting Underway

13.4

Make sure you have the required safety equipment 

for your passengers.

Ensure  your  radio  is  operating  properly  and  under-

stand emergency communication procedures.

Ensure all rigging and sails are installed and ready 

for  use  (refer  to  the  Sails  &  Rigging  section  in  this 

manual).

After  the  engine  reaches  operating  temperature, 

accelerate  the  engine  to  2000  RPM’s.    Check  that 

the voltmeter on the DC Panel reads 13 to 14.5 volts 

for both batteries.

Check wind, tide and current to determine the best 

way  to  maneuver  your  boat  away  from  the  dock.  

Cast off mooring lines.

At  low  speed,  check  that  gauges,  indicators  and 

alarms  are  normal.      Check  that  sufficient  cooling 

water  is  being  discharged  from  the  exhaust  outlets 

on the transom.

Shift  your  boat’s  engine  into  forward  or  reverse, 

depending  on  whether  you  want  to  move  the  bow 

or the stern away from the dock first.  Your engines 

should be running at a slow speed as you move away 

from the dock.

Once  your  boat  is  in  open  water,  you  can  safely 

accelerate  to cruising speed.  Advance throttle to the 

setting  which  provides  your  desired  engine  speed 

(RPM’s).

WARNING

!

!

Using a damaged or improper cord for shore power 

can cause electrical shock and serious injury.  Use a 

cord specifically designed for shore power connec-

tion.  Do not use a household extension cord.

CAUTION

!

!

Water is an excellent conductor of electricity. Keep 

shore power cord out of water.  Do not operate any 

AC device while you, or the cord, are in the water.  

To prevent injury or equipment damage, keep all AC 

electric system components dry.

WARNING

!

!

DO NOT disconnect the shore power cord to the 

boat first.  You could accidentally drop the cord into 

the water, which may result in electrical shock and 

serious personal injury.

 

13.4.1 Getting Ready to Sail

NOTE:    This  is  not  intended  to  provide  a  complete  guide  on 

sailing.  The ‘art’ of managing a sailboat in all weather, tidal and 

day/night conditions can not be taught by reading even the best 

instruction book.  If you are not proficient in handling sail boats, 

please refrain from handling this boat and obtain professional 

training  and  certificates,  some  of  which  might  be  required  for 

you to navigate your boat in certain areas or countries.

Power into the wind.

Raise  and/or  unfurl  sails,  beginning  with  the  main 

and then the jib.

Once  each  halyard,  is  tensioned  by  the  winch,  the 

halyard can be locked down into its respective sheet 

stopper  and  the  halyard  removed  from  the  winch, 

freeing the winch for the next halyard or sheet.

However,  care  should  be  taken  not  to  inadvertently 

open the rope clutches, since the sails will lower rap-

idly if this is done.

When  the  sails  are  raised,  the  boat  can  be  laid  off 

and the engine turned off.

Once  the  main  is  sheeted  in  and  you  are  sailing 

upwind,  confirm  the  main  topping  lift  position  has 

some slack so the main can be capable of sheeting 

in hard without the topping lift being tight.

Be sure to retighten the topping lift before lowering 

the main.

After a day of sailing, the sails should be lowered or 

furled in while again powering into the wind, with the 

jib  furled in first and then by lowering  or furling  the 

main.

Protect your conventional mainsail by covering it with 

the sailcover, if applicable.

13.3.2 Tuning the Rig

If this is your initial sailing excursion, the mast should be
