VI. PREVENT FLOODING
To avoid the risk of flooding of the boat:
- Check the closing of the portholes and deck hatches or any other openings allowing flooding
before each departure in navigation
- When navigating, close all valves when not in use, with the exception of engine water intakes.
◼ Do not exceed the maximum recommended load.
◼ the hold water should be kept to a minimum
◼ Avoid adding masses in the tops so as not to affect the stability
- Check periodically:
◼ The sealing of shells, valves and hoses
◼ The good flow of the cockpit/fly evacuation.
◼ The tightness of cable glands or sail-drive joints.
WARNING
The hatch cockpit must be closed before sailing. This is particularly important for chests
with a high risk of flooding.
