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.
Propellers
The propellers fitted as standard to your boat result from trials carried out in collaboration with
the engine manufacturer.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- Several times a year examine the engine housing assemblies.
- Change the anodes if necessary.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- Have the whole driving and steering systems checked and maintained by a professional.
- Refer to the manufacturers' instructions supplied with your boat.
- Regularly check the O ring of the filler for good condition (in order to prevent water entries).
- Do not turn off the fuel tap after each use (except in case the boat is unattended for long).
- Keep the fuel tank as full as possible (to avoid condensation).
- Every year check the fuel system for condition (hose, valves, etc.).
- Have a professional to carry out the works on the damaged parts of the fuel system.
- Refer to the manufacturer's manual given with your boat.
