7. FLOODING
Risk of the vessel flooding:
-
Keep the hatches, windows, removable panels, doors, ventilation panels or openings closed when
it is appropriate, for example in severe weather conditions or sailing at high speeds.
-
Ensure that hatches, deck hatch covers or any other openings which could lead to flooding are
closed before each time you put to sea.
-
When under sail, close all the valves with the exception of the engine seawater cooling intake.
Periodically check:
-
The watertightness of the through-hulls, seacock valves and pipework.
-
That the cockpit drains are clear.
-
The saildrive gasket joint must be replaced according to the engine manufacturer’s schedule
.
WARNING
The hatch covers in the sugarscoops must be locked shut before every time you put to sea. This is
particularly important, as the engine compartments present a significant risk for flooding.
