OPERATIONS MANUAL FOR
“
LUVALEE
”
Ocean Alexander 520
Welcome to the
“
LUVALEE
”!
We hope you have a very enjoyable and safe trip aboard the
“
LUVALEE
”
and at your
destinations. This manual is provided to assist you in operating the
“
LUVALEE
”
and
all the systems aboard.
Please take time to review this manual thoroughly and
be sure to ask your checkout person if you need clarification or additional
information.
The ultimate responsibility for safety of crew and boat is undertaken by the person who
charters the boat. The chartering captain has represented his/her experience, judgment,
and skills to be adequate to overcome any errors and/or omissions in this manual and
checkout procedures.
This manual provides information necessary for an experienced boater to operate the
systems and equipment on
“
LUVALEE
”
. It is not a training manual and assumes that
the reader has had sufficient experience with similar yachts and systems in the past.
Safety is a top priority in all procedures and when noted should be clearly understood
before proceeding. Safety cannot be completely managed by procedures and requires
experience and common sense to be achieved.
This manual does not include navigational, weather assessment, or boat handling skill
instructions.
As the captain, you are responsible for safety of all crew and the yacht and for
understanding all instructions and information in this manual. If you have questions
about any of the instructions or information included in this manual or if you encounter
situations not included, please call Anacortes Yacht Charters at 1- 800- 233-3004, for
assistance.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
Safety is the most important item in all of the following information and safety
considerations will be emphasized. Plan ahead and review procedures to prevent
accidents. Make sure your crew is prepared to assist as needed by training them
beforehand how to assist you and what you expect from them. This is especially needed
for getting under way, docking, and anchoring. Almost anything done without
preparation can be high risk for accidents, so take your time, train your crew before they
have to perform, and have fun!
Please read this complete manual thoroughly and ask AYC about anything that is not
clear or missing. Reading completely will save you time, money, and risk of injury.
