2 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
2.1 GENERAL
All weight dispositions (for example installing a fishing tower, radar or furling mast,
engine replacement etc.) can have a significant impact on the stability, trim, and perfor-
mance of your boat. The bilge water level should be kept at a minimum. The stability of
your boat will be compromised if any weight is placed in a high position.
In stormy weather all hatches, compartments and doors should be kept closed to
minimise the risk of flooding. The stability can be diminished when towing or lifting
heavy objects using the davit or jib crane. Breaking waves represent a serious signif-
icant danger to stability
2.2 SELF DRAINING SYSTEMS
The boat’s open space is designed to empty itself of rain water by allowing
the water to drain straight into the sea via the drain holes. Both aft parts of
the afterdeck have drain holes through which water flows straight into the sea. From
midships, any water in the open space runs through the drain hole to a separate
drainage pump. This drainage pump starts automatically when water enters it. Clear
any rubbish from the pump container regularly. The boat will support passengers even
if it is filled with water.
The drain holes are intended for the removal of both rain water and water that
has splashed onto the deck. These drain holes must be open in all circumstances
and any rubbish accumulating in them must be regularly cleared to avoid the
holes clogging up.
The system is built so as to drain the water from the deck in normal use. Do not close
the taps when using the boat or when the boat is attached to the dock.
The self-emptying open space is meant for the removal of such water
that ends up on the deck through rain, splashing or from breaking
waves. A part of the rain water as well as water condensation in the
bilge may end up in the bilge. Do not leave the boat unattended in the
water for a long time. Observe the floating position of the boat and
empty the bilge when necessary. Leaving the boat unattended in the
water for a long time may cause damage.
CAUTION!
Do not close the drain holes when using the boat.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of flooding, always keep sea valves closed when not in
use. (For example the sea valve for the toilet’s flushing water).
CAUTION!
2.3 DOORS, HATCHES AND SEACOCKS
There are several inlets through the boat that include taps for opening and closing the
inlets. It is recommended to keep these closed if the boat is out of use for a long time,
and to open them again when the boat is used again.
We recommended that you keep the windows, doors, deck hatches and vents shut
while driving or when the boat is docked. However, on occasion and depending on the
weather they can be kept open. In stormy weather, always keep deck hatches, storage
room doors and openings closed to minimize the risk of water getting into the boat.
In certain conditions and speeds it is possible that water is sprayed inside through
canopies, hatches or other openings, due to negative pressure or other effects. This
can be prevented by closing the canopies, hatches or other openings.
The picture below shows the hatches, seacocks and inlets through the side. The
hatches in the picture (13–19) must be kept closed while under way. Always check in
the spring when launching that the inlets through the side and bottom are tight.
You can access the seacocks in the open space from the inspection hatches behind the
batteries. The toilet flush water cock and the septic tank seacock can be accessed via
the service hatch, which is under the hatch (13) in the open space.
