IN CASE OF FIRE
• Stop the engines immediately.
• Have all persons onboard put on their life jacket.
• Shut off the bilge blowers immediately if the re is in the engine room.
• NEVER open the hatch to the engine room. The re will are up if the fresh air supply increases suddenly.
• Keep the re downwind if possible. Head into the wind if the re is AFT of the yacht.
• If the re is accessible, USE THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
1. Aim the re extinguisher at the base of the ames.
2. Use a sweeping motion to put out the re.
• Make a distress signal and call for help if the re gets out of control.
It is the owner and/or crew’s decision to abandon the yacht. If the decision is to abandon ship, ALL people onboard should
jump overboard and swim to a safe distance away from the burning yacht.
