Active Fire Fight
DANGER!
Each fire is a direct hazard to you, the crew and the yacht!
You have to fight the fire consequently without delay immediately after having alarmed all
person on board.
Any person who cannot actively participate in the firefight has to go on deck using the escape openings
and put on the personal life jacket.
NOTE!
A deck port is an escape hatch and must not be adjusted!
Fire in the Pantry:
Interrupt gas supply.
Smother the flames with a fire blanket.
Use the fire extinguisher when the fire has spread to the equipment!
Fire in the Engine Room:
Switch off the engine!
Do not open the hatches!
There is a small opening behind the companionway hatch between the stairs of the engine room. Insert
the nozzle of the fire extinguisher into this opening and empty it completely into the engine room.
Only open the engine room when you are convinced that the fire is extinguished and the room has cooled
down.
Fire in other Areas
Try to fight the fire with the fire blanket or with water unless it is caused by flammable liquids. In such
case fight the fire with fire extinguishers.
3.4 Protection against Falling over Board
The yacht is furnished with a circulating rail with two drafts as well as
bow and stern pulpits
. Handrails
are arranged on the cabin top.
These furnishings guarantee a certain protection from falling over board.
A hinged boat ladder is attached at the stern for reboarding and for the rescue of persons. Familiarize
yourself with the use of the boat ladder and practice reboarding, e.g. with the man-overboard manoeuvre
(MOB).
DANGER!
It is recommended as a matter of principle to secure persons on deck with individual rescue
and safety means (e.g. life jackets, safety belts).
Instruct the crew accordingly before starting a cruise!
We do not advice solo-sailing (single-handed cruising).
Life-saving Appliances
The watercraft is not furnished with life-saving appliances by the shipyard as a matter of principle.
Furnish the boat with life jackets in accordance with the number of persons on board. Inflatable liferafts
should be carried on board as collective life saving appliance for ocean cruises in accordance with the
number of persons and be kept ready for use.
