NAVIGATION: REMINDER OF SOME ADVICE
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.
Prevention of man overboard
Regularly check the guard-rails:
- With metal guard-rails, watch for corrosion particularly at connecting points.
- With synthetic guard-rails, change them as soon as they show signs of wear due to
chafing or UV..
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- Several times a year examine the engine housing assemblies.
- Change the anodes if necessary.

professional.
