To avoid the risks of the boat flooding:
- Before putting to sea, always check that portholes, deck hatches and any other
openings that could allow flooding are shut.
- When sailing, close all seacocks when they are not being used, except the engine
water intake.
- Do not exceed the recommended maximum load.
- The level of the water in the bilge must be kept to a minimum.
- Avoid placing heavy loads high up in order not to affect stability.
Periodically check:
- The seals of skin fittings, seacocks and pipes.
- Proper emptying of the cockpit drains
- The seals of cable glands and sail-drive gaskets
.
WARNING
Cockpit locker lids must be fastened shut before putting to sea. This is particularly
important for those lockers that represent a major flooding risk

Installation
Since fire extinguishers are subject to specific national regulations, they are not supplied
with your boat.
However, when it is in service, this boat must be equipped with portable fire extinguishers
with the following extinction capacities and installed in the following locations (see
diagram, appendix 15):
- No. 1 - galley - firefighting capacity 1 kg - 5A34B
- No. 2 - chart table - firefighting capacity 1 kg - 5A34B
- No. 3 - cockpit locker, within reach of the helmsman - firefighting capacity 1 kg -
5A34B
If you choose to install a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher, be aware that it may only be
placed in living quarters where flammable liquids are present (e.g., galley) or where there
is powered electrical equipment (e.g., electric motors, battery compartment, electric control
panels).
Only compatible replacement parts should be used in the fire protection system. They
must bear the same markings and be technically equivalent.
In addition, a fire blanket should be stored close to the galley — very useful particularly in
the event of a pan fire involving oil (e.g., saloon settee).
If non-flammable materials are stored in the engine compartment, care should be taken to
ensure that there is no risk of them falling into the machinery, and they must not obstruct
access to the engine compartment or its exhaust.
