Your boat is protected against lightning. The rigging is electrically connected to earth. Nonetheless, for
your safety, it is necessary to respect certain precautions.
Maintenance
If the vessel has been hit by lightning:
- The protection installation must be inspected to detect physical damage and check the integrity
of the device, as well as the continuity of the earthing.
- The compasses, electrical and electronic devices must be examined in order to ascertain if
damage or calibration changes have occurred.
Protection of persons during a storm
WARNING
During a thunderstorm, it is recommended that you should comply with the following instructions:
● People should stay below as far as possible.
● People should stay out of the water and not let their arms or legs hang into the water.
● Whilst maintaining satisfactory control of the boat and its sailing, people should not touch any part
connected to a lightning protection installation, especially not in such a way as to form a link between
such parts.
● It is desirable that people should avoid any contact with metal parts of the rigging, the spars, deck
fittings and the lifelines.

We recommend you to find out about local regulations concerning respect for the environment, and to obey
international regulations against pollution in the marine environment (MARPOL), together with the codes
of good practice.
Do not discharge the toilets or the contents of the holding tanks near coasts or in prohibited areas; use port
or marina pumping systems for emptying the holding tanks before leaving port.
ATTENTION!
● Most cleaning products, engine oils and fuels are likely to affect the environment, so they should be
discharged in authorized locations (check with the Harbor Master’s office).
● Do not start the bilge pump where oil or fuel is present in the engine compartment, as these chemicals
must be discharged in authorized locations.
● Certain products can likewise represent a risk for your own and others’ safety, which is why it is
important to read and obey the instructions for use.
● Chemicals used must be labeled and stored in an appropriate place in the boat.
