Getting under way
The sliding door locks in three different positions: closed, ajar (airing
position) and open.
A latch on the doorframe enables locking from inside the saloon.
Switch on the main power of the boat by activating the battery
switches located in the port and starboard aft cabins, then activate
the different accessory switches on the electrical panel.
Check the charge rate of the batteries, the water level in the tanks and
the fuel level (see ELECTRICITY and MOTORIZATION chapter).
Carry out the inventory of compulsory safety equipment and instruct
the crew concerning its location and operation.
Visibility in navigation
The international regulations to prevent collision at sea (COLREG) and
course regulations make mandatory a permanent and proper
surveillance and the respect of priority.
Make sure there is no other boat in your way.
Visibility from the steering station may be obstructed by the following:
- Load and load distribution.
- Sea conditions, rain, spray, fog or darkness.
- Lights on inside the boat.
- People and mobile equipment in the helmsman's field of visibility.
