13.0 FITTING OUT
Note: Tartan Yachts must not be lifted in their shipping cradles by fork lifts without additional
strengthening of the cradle. Most fork lifts tend to concentrate the maximum weight in a small
area, therefore damage may occur. Recommended procedure requires that boats being lifted in
shipping cradles have straps placed under fore and aft upright supports and be lifted by a crane.
13.1
Prior To Launching
The exterior of the yacht should be sponged down with soapy water to reveal any scratches or damage.
Repair damaged areas.
Wax the hull exterior. Color pigment may be mixed into the wax before application. This tends to make
small scratches disappear when the hull is polished.
Check and clean the saildrive leg. If a folding propeller is fitted, check that the blades open and close
readily, and that the cotter pins are in place and secure.
Examine all deck fittings for security and service all winches.
Check that batteries are fully charged, that battery terminals are clean and that all electrical connections
are clean and secure.
Prior to launch, all thru hull valves should be closed to prevent any leakage. Check that all thru hull
fittings are secure and that valves open and close easily.
Replace engine block and water pump drain plugs. Remove any winter cover protecting the engine air
intake and plug or cover at the stern exhaust port.
13.2 After
Launching
Check all thru hull fittings, sea cocks and the bilge to ensure that no leakage exists.
Open the intake seacock for the engine cooling water.
Turn on the main power switch.
Start engine. After the engine has reached operating temperature, shut down and change oil.
Check propeller shaft alignment as indicated in Sec. 6.4.
13.3 Stepping
the Spar
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD
ELECTRIC OR OTHER WIRES WHEN LIFTING AND STEPPING THE SPAR AS DAMAGE,
INJURY OR FATALITY COULD RESULT.
The spar is stepped through the deck at the mast collar and is seated on the mast step in the bilge.
a) Good preparation and maintenance of the spar and rigging is essential prior to stepping. The spar
should first be laid carefully on two or more supports, washed and inspected from top to bottom. Check
the masthead and sheaves for excessive wear or abrasion. Inspect all halyards from end to end for signs
of wear or abrasions, and replace as necessary. Inspect the standing rigging carefully, looking for broken
