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.
- Boat heeling over, the sails reduce visibility under wind.
- Load and load distribution.
- Sea conditions, rain, spray, fog or darkness.
- Lights on inside the boat.
- Persons and removable equipments in the helmsman's field of visibility.
PIECE OF ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- When the engine is running, avoid making noise and chops near the other users.
- Respect speed limits.
- In case this boat is equipped with a fix blades propeller, when sailing with a sailing speed over 8
knots it is essential to have the gear throttle on the neutral position.
- To start the engine again, reduce the speed of the boat when sailing (in order to be able to
disengage the clutch before starting it again).
PRECAUTION
- Do not change the propeller without specialist's advice.
- Regularly check the anode (at the end of the drive shaft) for corrosion, at least 2 times a year.
