WARNING
2. OPERATING THE BOAT
Before operating the boat for the first time, make sure that you read and understand the
operation and safety topics given in owner’s manual.
2.1 S
AFETY ROUTINES BEFORE LEAVING SHORE
Familiarise yourself with this owner’s manual. Always check the following items before
leaving the shore:
2.1.1 Weather and forecast
Consider the wind, waves and visibility. Are the design category, size and equipment of
your boat, as well as the skills of the skipper and crew, sufficient for going to the water?
In strong winds and rough seas all portholes, doors, hatches and vents must be closed to
prevent water from getting into/onto the boat.
2.1.2 Loading
Do not overload the boat, distribute the loads appropriately. For stability: do not place
heavy loads high up (refer chapter 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5). You can always check the load/CE-
plate for the maximum allowed loading.
2.1.3 Passengers
Ensure that there are life jackets for everybody on board and instruct passengers to be
seated while the boat is in motion. Refer chapter 3.6 for the location of passengers.
Make sure all members of the crew understand their specific tasks, before leaving shore.
It is recommended that at least 2 passengers can operate the boat.
2.1.4 Fuel
Check that there is enough fuel, plus a reserve tank for harsh weather etc. Look for any
fuel leaks. The fuel lid requires a tool to be opened. The tool is found in the glove
department (secured in a nylon clip).
2.1.5 Engine
Check the functioning and condition of steering, electrical equipment and batteries, also
carry out the routine checks specified in the engine instructions handbook.
2.1.6 Fastening of objects and closing of doors and hatches
Make sure everything on board is secured properly (preferably stored in the hatches) in
the event of high winds, fast maneuverers and rough seas. Check that the deck drains are
not blocked. Close and secure the hatches and doors to avoid water ingress, be extra
careful to ensure that the access door to the electrical compartment (under stern deck)
is closed and locks are tightened.
