Control panel/control lever
The instrument panel has all the testing functions of the engine and it does not
require any special precaution (refer to engine leaflet).
Check the clutch and accelerator cables (lubricate the end fittings and forks).
Visibility from the steering station
The international regulations to prevent collision at sea (COLREG) and the course
regulations make mandatory a permanent and proper surveillance and the respect of
priority.
Make sure there is no other boat on your way.
The visibility from the steering station may be obstructed in the following conditions:
- Speed.
- Position of the upper and side awnings.
- Load and load distribution.
- Sea conditions, rain, spray, fog or darkness.
- Lights on inside the boat.
- Persons and removable equipment in the helmsman's field of visibility.
Navigation
Stability
During sailing keep all the portholes, windows and doors closed.
- The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts.
- Stability may be reduced when towing a boat or when heavy weights are lifted with the
davits.
- Breaking waves represent a serious danger for stability and for taking in water. Close
the companionway doors and hatches in heavy seas.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- When the engine is running, avoid making noise and chops near the other users.
