Caution
A tow line shall always be made fast in a way that it can be released when
under load.
When at anchor, it is damaging to leave the full load of the boat resting on the windlass. It
is recommended that the chain be tied onto a local strong point.
6.6 Filling With Fuel
Caution
Never smoke when refuelling, or inspecting or working with the fuel
system.
For locations of filler caps, see: 3.2.3
Use the following procedure for filling tanks:
• Remove portable tank(s) from the craft for filling ashore.
• Open the filler cap and start filling the tank.
• Check the contents of the tank by monitoring the tank level indicator
• Do not fill the tank to its maximum: allow for expansion
• Close deck fittings tightly, but do not over-tighten since this will damage the rubber o-
rings (make an entry in ship's log)
Caution
Fuel is considered chemical waste. Keep an absorbing cloth close by when filling tanks.
7 MAINTENANCE
Regular inspection and maintenance is an essential activity to ensure the boat's longevity
and the crew's safety.
This section includes a generic table which details typical inspection and maintenance
intervals. This is not specific to your craft and some sections will not apply.
The necessary frequency of service or maintenance depends upon the environment in
which the boat operates. The intervals listed in this section should be viewed as
maximums.
Caution
Modifications that may affect the safety characteristics of the craft should
be assessed, executed and documented by competent people.
Caution
Any change in the disposition of the masses aboard may significantly
affect the stability, trim and performance of the boat
