It is designed to overcome a steering damage and enables you to sail only at
a reduced speed.

- Insert the tiller into the rudder stock.
The emergency tiller is fi tted with two extension bars to be more effi cient.
n MANOEUVRES
- Know where your crew members are and inform them before you manoeu-
vre on the boat.
- Carefully manoeuvre on the deck and always wear shoes.
n ENGINE
- Systematically stop the engines before you dive or swim next to the boat.

when the latter is rotating.

If you have to tow another boat, tow her at a reduced speed and as smoothly
as you can.
