Cool Runnings
Nuances
1
–
Hatchboards
: we stow them on the top of the port side above the companionway
tucked up against the handrail.
2
–
Fenders
: we tie them to the stern rail below the port stern rail seat and leave the
orange one out as a roaming fender.
3
–
Dock Lines
: we coil them and store them in the aft corner cockpit locker on top of
the power cord and hose.
4
–
Throttle Control
: neutral is NOT straight up. It is about 1/3 back: there is a black
mark on the pedestal marking neutral.
5
–
Furling Main
: works great, but be sure to keep tension on the outhaul when furling
in
so the sail wraps up tight in the mast. That’s the key to any furli
ng main.
6
–
Backing and Maneuvering
: there is a slight prop walk initially to port when backing.
She handles very well in forward or reverse.
7
–
Either cabin can be the captain’s cabin
: personal preferences vary. Aft is best for
reading in bed and has more storage. Forward V-berth has built in seating area and
more hanging room.
8
–
The helm seat swings down to provide a walkthrough to stern.
Be gentle and lower
rather than drop the seat!
