12 - INFORMATION FOR USE343
• Check liquid levels (fuel, fresh water) in the tanks.
• Ensure everything necessary has been loaded (provisions, nautical
charts, documents, rockets, rst aid kit, etc..).
• Check the proper fastening of all mobile components, on the main deck
and lower deck.
• Ensure the load has been distributed evenly, so that the yacht maintains
a proper trim.
CAUTION

the transversal one. Try to arrange loads equally and securely, in order to
avoid sudden displacements.
WARNING

with the location of the current security systems (re extinguishers, life
raft, life buoys, etc ..) and they are aware of how to use them.

Safety equipment should always be checked before each navigation, in
order to ensure the good condition of the safety devices and to become
familiar with their location and use. The little time spent may be very use-
ful in case of need.

not worn out).

evant safety rope.
