navigation aids such GPS and Loran. Many of these items may be installed while the yacht
is being built or later by the Tartan Dealer.
10.2 Thru Hull Fittings
If other than standard thru hull fittings are required and are to be added after the yacht is
built, consult the Tartan Dealer to determine the correct positioning of the thru hull fitting.
Directions concerning the components and installation of the thru hull fittings should be
supplied with the unit. See section 8.1, "Installation of Thru Hull Fittings".
10.3 Masthead Fittings
Masthead fittings should be installed carefully, following manufacturer's
recommendations. Cables leading from the masthead fitting should come out at the foot of
the mast, and a connector installed at this point which facilitates easy disconnecting when
the mast is un-­‐stepped. Keep all connectors, junctions and wiring as high in the yacht as
possible to prevent them from coming in contact with water.
10.4 Electronic Equipment
All electronic equipment serviced by the yacht's 12 volt electric circuit should be separately
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. Radios and other DC accessories can be wired
directly to the yacht's circuit panel. Make sure that the polarity for electronic
accessories are correct, and that they are installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendation.
11.0 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
SAFETY SHOULD BE THE FIRST CONCERN OF EVERY SAILOR, AND CERTAIN ITEMS
SHOULD ALWAYS BE CARRIED ON THE YACHT.
11.1 Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers should be carried on each yacht. Depending upon the size of the yacht,
owners may carry several extinguishers mounted in the yacht so they would be readily
accessible. These extinguishers should be certified with regular inspection and testing
dates shown on each unit. Please consult governing regulations as they apply to your
yacht and area sailed.
11.2 Life Jackets
One life jacket for each member of the crew must be carried. They should be of a type
approved by your respective governing agency.
