7 . Hull openings, sea cocks
Openings under the waterline are possible weak points, to which we have therefore paid a lot
of attention.
The hull openings are made of a brass alloy and where necessary fitted with a fast shut-off
ball valve. This basic set-up is completed by a suitable hose connection on the hose side of
each valve. Each hose is secured by two clamps.
