V) DECK
- Jack lines can be fastened either to the mooring cleats, or to pad eyes on deck.
The Beneteau 40 is fitted with a foldaway swimming ladder. The swim ladder should be in its folded/upright
position as soon as you are on board.
The transom area is not considered part of the working deck and should not be used while underway

below
Make sure that the hatches and portholes are closed before you put out to sea.
In case of rough sea, close the boat with the sliding hatch and weatherboards so that no water may come into
the boat.
Check that nothing blocks the cockpit drain holes; these holes should never be sealed.
