Contrary to what you may have heard, teak is not a miracle wood that is totally
maintenance free. It is easy to maintain. There are a number of excellent teak cleaning
and sealing preparations on the market. We suggest that you ask your sailing friends
(who have teak you admire) for their suggestions. (Many excellent teak cleaning and
sealing products are not available nationwide, so use the best available in your area.)
The teak may also be varnished; put three to six coats on initially. Plan to apply
another coat at midseason, and the final coat prior to winter layup. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions for the varnish which you purchase (use only quality marine
varnish).
3.0 SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT
Federal regulations require certain safety equipment to be aboard your boat
(personal) and throwable flotation devices, fire extinguishers, horn, whistle, etc.). Know
what equipment is required and have it aboard and properly stowed before you cast off
for the first time.
In addition to the equipment requirements outlined here, the U.S. Coast Guard can
provide additional information and answer your questions. It is highly recommended
that, although not required, certain additional items be kept aboard:
1. An anchor of appropriate size and design and rode of good quality, appropriate
size and length
2. First-aid kit
3. Compass
4. Paddle
5. Flashlight
6. Up-to-date charts of the waters to be sailed
3.1 Fire
Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are not standard equipment on your Intrepid; they are to be
provided by you, the owner. Fire aboard any boat is a real and serious hazard. It is
important to take adequate precautions against fire and be well prepared to extinguish
one quickly and thoroughly should it occur. For this reason, U.S. Coast Guard approved
fire extinguishers of the appropriate type and size (check U.S.C.G. regulations) should be
installed immediately.
The permanent location of fire extinguishers where they are easily accessible
(near areas where fires are most likely to occur – engine, fuel tanks, and galley) is
important. They should not be located where fire may prevent their use. At least one
extinguisher in a cockpit locker (reachable from outside the cabin) is an excellent
precaution.
