Getting Underway
13.5
13.9.4 Spinnaker
To fly the spinnaker, complete the following procedure:
Start by heading off to a square run.
Leave the mainsail fully out during the hoisting proce-
dure as it will blanket the spinnaker and keep it from
filling until you are ready for it to be set.
Raise the spinnaker from the starboard side, winch-
ing until the halyard is tight.
Once it is fully hoisted, slowly head up your desired
course and release the furling line from both fiddle
block jammers and pull in the sheet until the sail
sets.
Make sure you have at least two turns of the sheet
around the winch.
13.5 Returning to Port
After completing the day’s cruise or excursion and moor-
ing your boat, shut down the engine as follows:
Reduce engine speed to idle.
Move the throttle/shift lever to the neutral (center)
position.
Accelerate from low speed to high speed and repeat
five times. This will help clean out carbon from engine
components.
Allow engine to run at idle for about five minutes.
Press the “Stop Switch” until the engine stops, fol-
lowed by the “Power Switch”.
Before going ashore, check the following items:
Seawater intakes that feed the various systems (and
generator) are closed
Shore power is connected.
Battery charger operating.
Battery switches are positioned to OFF on the
Battery Switch Panel.
No visible leaks at the propeller shaft.

A thorough wash down of your hull, decks, and rigging
with soap and fresh water will help keep your boat looking
like new for years.
NOTE: See the AC Electric chapter in this manual for informa-
tion on connecting the shore power, and the Water Systems
chapter in this manual for information on connecting the dock
side water supply.
13.6 Emergency Operations
You should always understand and be prepared to
engage in emergency operations aboard your boat.
The sea can be unforgiving, and you can find yourself
in very bad trouble in a very short time, even if you are
prepared.
Note: Do not rely on this manual to educate you in all the emer-
gency procedures aboard your boat.
Always insure that you, and all aboard, know the outlines
for emergency operations and the location of emergency
equipment. Emergency drills should be developed and
routinely implemented. Potential emergency situa-
tions may include flooding, explosions, man overboard
accidents and fire. Review the book, Chapman Piloting
and Seamanship, for assistance in planning emergency
responses and the Boating Safety chapter in this manual
for additional information.
