If any lamp, fan, etc should not function when turned o n ,
check the fuse. If the fuse is alright it is either the lamp (fan)
that is out of action or a bad c o n n e c t i o n . Should the fuse be
b l o w n fit a replacement. If this should b l o w there is s h o r t
circuit in the wiring or the fixture.
The A L B I N 0 - 2 2 engine requires electric current for ignition,
even w h e n started by hand. H o w e v e r if the battery is d i s -
c h a r g e d there is usually enough power left for hand starting.
Should this fail, it is p o s s i b l e to connect dry batteries (fig.
27) or a suitable transistor radio battery for hand starting.

Equipment
Safety equipment
For o f f s h o r e racing certain equipment is compulsory. S o m e
of the items are included in the Standard equipment of y o u r
V E G A , (e.g. pulpits, lifelines, handrails, pump etc).
Rules regarding c o m p u l s o r y equipment are based on long
e x p e r i e n c e and can be j u d g e d to be w h a t is necessary for
any long v o y a g e . The safety rules may be different in dif-
f e r e n t c o u n t r i e s , but listed b e l o w is w h a t is usually c o n s i d -
ered necessary.
1. A rubber dinghy or liferaft with C 0
2
bottle: S p e c i a l
liferafts fill the requirements for lifesafing, but can be
used only for that purpose. A r u b b e r dinghy can be
used also as a tender. For inshore sailing a s i m p l e
r u b b e r dinghy w i t h o u t automatic inflating can be used.
If t o w e d or k e p t on deck inflated such a dinghy is a
g o o d lifesaving devise too.
2. A n anchor w i t h w a r p and at least 2 fathoms of c h a i n :
The short chain prevents chafe near the anchor and
also makes the anchor more efficiënt. In some w a t e r s
it may be necessary to use a longer chain or maybe all
chain. On rock or kelp a heavy a n c h o r is necessary —
in t h a t case the shape is not so important.
A s a storm anchor an A D M I R A L T Y (Fisherman) t y p e
a n c h o r of about 18 kg (40 Ibs) is to be p r e f e r r e d . A 12
kgms (25 Ibs) light-weight anchor ( C Q R , Northill or
D a n f o r t h ) can also be used, but is less efficiënt than
the heavier one.
A n 9 kgms (20 Ibs) D a n f o r t h anchor should be used
normally. This will hold in most conditions unless the
b o t t o m is very bad.
3. Two fire extinguishers: One has to be of certified type
(min. 2 kg). One extinguisher must be mounted on the
b u l k h e a d easily accessible or in an unlocked seat. A
spare extinguisher (maybe a smaller model) ought to
be easily accessible in the fore cabin.
4 A first aid kit.
5. Flares (at least 6 red). Parachute flares or rockets are
best. Red hand flares are good for short distances.
Flares and rockets must be changed every 3rd year.
6. T w o powerful electric hand lamps.
7. Life jackets for each crew member. Certified j a c k e t s
may be large and c u m b e r s o m e . Special sailing v e s t s
or floating jackets may be better. It may be better to
use a less effective, easily w o r n floation than one w h i c h
is not used because it is less handy to wear.
8. Safety harness s h o u l d be w o r n by everybody on deck
when leaving the c o c k p i t in heavy weather. This is the
most important piece of safety equipment.
9. Lifebuoy with self-igniting light. Buoys are best painted
in an orange or y e l l o w c o l o u r to be easily visible. Horse-
shoe model in a soft material is preferable.
10. Fog signal: Any simple horn can be used.
