Among the documents supplied, you will find
important safety advice, together with a parts
list and operating instructions. Checking the
main components over annually will ensure
they function smoothly during the season.
Stern anchor mechanism
If the boat is not being used in the
Mediterranean, then the stern anchor
arrangement with a Bruce anchor (10kg) and
an electric deck winch is a low cost secondary
system. The anchor can be lowered and raised
at the stern, and can be made fast on a bow
cleat also when lying at anchor.
To anchor, attach an anchor line, then remove
the two bolts securing the anchor, fold down
the anchor davit and lower the anchor (see
diagram).

bracket on the pushpit…
Hauling in the anchor line is easier if the
portside electric winch is used.
Ensure, however, that the chain forerunner is
not drawn into the electric winch. If you are not
using a chain forerunner, you should lower a
riding weight on the anchor line.
When raising the anchor, it may be
necessary to “scoop” the chain free in the
chain locker, so that it can be flaked in
easily. Keep gloves handy.
