Dragonfly 32 Swing Wing, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 50 / 80

ANCHORING:
The anchor bracket is designed for max 16 kgs anchor.
Use chain (8 mm diameter) or 14 mm rope with internal lead up front.
Recommended length of anchor line should be 5-10 times the depth – depending
on the depth and the condition of the seabed.
PRECAUTION - Before anchoring check first the weather forecast.
Thereafter the depth of water, current and nature of the seabed.
By beaching or drying out the boat beware of rocks and stones, ONLY beach the
boat on clean sand.
When anchoring, we recommend securing the anchor line to one of the front
mooring cleats and to make a bridle, which you can fasten on the U-type big
stainless padeye on the front of each forward wing. Using a bridle prevents the
boat from "fishtailing". This bridle is each side approx. 6 to 7 meters long.
ALWAYS anchor in protected areas!!
Note that multihulls have more windage than conventional yachts.
By anchoring off the stern, the engine should be stopped to prevent the anchor
line from getting into the propeller.
IMPORTANT – if your Dragonfly 32 is equipped with a bowsprit, pull first back in
the bowsprit, before you set the anchor, as this does conflict.
The anchor is close to the bow, so be careful the last bit when the anchor comes
out of the water and up to the anchor fitting.
When using anchor and chain via windlass in + 15 knots wind we recommend using
a chain hook with a line so the windlass is not in function. The electric anchor
windless is not designed to hold strong force – please read the manual for the
windless – windless is optional and therefore not installed on all boats.
When using the anchor and the windlass system from the center hull bow, it is
very important after launch to check that anchor has grip, to setup an anchor
bridle on the anchor line.
