• Beware of High tension/voltage cables. Mast height above sea level is up to
24 meters/75 feet – with no antennas.
• For ocean crossings, we recommend carrying a life raft in case of fire.
• For Ocean crossings and long-distance offshore sailing, we recommend all
crew to get familiar with the safety hatch in the aft cabin and the function
of this. Make sure while sailing that the safety hatch is securely closed but
NOT LOCKED with the red buttons on the inside of the hatch.
• In case of capsize, stay calmly inside the boat, and, if necessary, you can
get out via the safety hatch in the aft cabin hull side. DO NOT try to dive
out elsewhere from the boat, as the risk of getting caught in ropes hanging
down in the water is too high.
• By long-distance sailing, make sure that all aboard are aware of the above-
mentioned procedures.
• Make sure to have a knife and watertight flashlight accessible both inside
and outside the boat.
• For long-distance sailing or ocean crossings, make sure to have up-to-date
flares and other safety devices aboard, like Epirp etc. within reach.
• For longer crossings, carry aboard e.g. extra impellers, fuel and diesel
filters and belts for the engine, and maybe spare parts and filters for the
water maker, if this is installed aboard. Further, make sure to have good
strong batteries for running the boat and a safe sufficient power supply.
• Make sure that all heavy gear inside the floats is tied well down, so this
cannot damage and puncture the floats from inside and cause leaking
problems.
• Make sure and check that anchor equipment is secured well and even tie
an extra security line on the anchor before you meet rough sea conditions.
• Always check that float hatches are closed while sailing.
• For long-distance sailing, we recommend installing “Jackstay´s”, a safety
lifeline in e.g., webbing materiel to hook on to when going on deck. If this
is installed, make sure this is installed correctly, so that you do not fall
overboard, but stay on the boat in combination that your harness/lifeline is
not too long.
• Please be aware that trampolines can be
slippery when wet, and/or in cold
conditions. Further, the trampolines are extra slippery when not pulled
tight enough when folding out the floats.
• Never walk or be on the leeward trampoline, and/or on the leeward float
when sailing upwind and beam reach in + 10 knots true windspeed.
• In strong wind conditions, we recommend staying on the center hull only.
• Never sail with the optional Bimini open in stronger winds than 25 knots
TWS.
