– FIRE PROTECTION
A) Installation
Fire extinguishers are subject to national rules, thus they are not supplied with the boat.
However, while being used, the boat must be equipped with portable extinguishers with the following fire fighting capacities and
these must be stored in specific areas of the boat.
• 1 kg powder extinguisher : entrance of saloon (galley cabinet)
• 1 kg powder extinguisher : port fore cabin
• 4 kg powder exting flexible : port aft cabin
• 4 kg powder exting flexible : starboard aft cabin
If you choose to install a carbon dioxyde extinguisher, it can not be installed in any living space holding any electrical equipments
under tension (for example electrical motors, battery compartment, powered hatches..) or inflammable liquids ( in galley for
example).
A fire blanket should also be stored near the galley, that is useful in case of gas stove fire (cause by oil for example)
