Radar
This boat is equipped with Simrad RADAR. The radar dome is on the front of the
mast; there are modules in various places in the boat. The display module is
mounted on a bracket attached to the cabin ceiling. It can be rotated so that it is
visible from the cockpit. If you use the radar, when done return the display
module to a position where people will not bump into it. Refer to the Simrad
manual
in ship’s library for information about its operation. There is a laminated
Quick Reference sheet in the binder.
Leaving the slip at Brown’s Point Marina – Detailed procedure
•
With the engine running, double check that there is water coming out of the
exhaust at the stern
•
Determine which way the wind and/or current will push the boat as it comes out
of the slip. Keep in mind that all other things being equal the prop walk will take
the stern to port.
•
There are 4 specific crew positions/duties:
o
The helmsperson will be in command; he/she will also take off the
starboard stern line.
o
Having determined which way the stern will want to go (starboard or port),
have a crew member pass a dock line around the piling on the
opposite
side of the boat. For instance, if the stern will be pushed port, pass a line
around the piling on the starboard side. Both ends of this line should be on
board the boat in the crew member’s hands; it will be used to keep the
boat close to the piling and will eventually have one end released so that it
can be pulled on board. This is the warp line.
o
A second crew member is at the bow ready to cast off first the bow lines
then the starboard spring line.
o
A third crew member is at the piling on the port side, fending off as
needed.
