7. FLOODING
Boat flooding risks:
- Before putting to sea, always check that portholes, deck hatches and any other openings
that could allow flooding are shut.
- When under sail, close all seacocks, except the engine water intake.
- Periodically check:
- Skin fittings, seacocks and pipes are watertight
- Proper emptying of the cockpit drains
-
Watertightness of the stern gland.
WARNING!
Cockpit locker lids must be fastened shut before putting to sea. This is particularly important
for the lockers representing a major flooding risk
8. FIRE PROTECTION
8.1. Installation
- Fire extinguishers are subject to national regulations, and for this reason they are not
supplied with your boat.
- We recommend you to equip your boat with fire extinguishers meeting the ISO 9094-1
standard, with the following specifications:
a)
Minimum capacity per extinguisher: 5A/34B,
b)
Minimum combined extinguisher capacity: 10A/68B,
c)
1 extinguisher within:
- 1 m (for boats < 10 m) or 2 m (for boats > 10 m) of the cockpit
- 2 m of the extinguisher opening for dowsing the engine,
d)
1 extinguisher within 2 m of the cooker,
e)
1 not more than 5 m from the berths,
f)
CO2 extinguishers may be placed in accommodation areas only where flammable
liquids are present (e.g. galley) or where there is powered electrical equipment. There
must not be more than one CO2 extinguisher per area at risk, and its maximum
capacity must not exceed 2 kg.
Only compatible replacement parts must be used in fire protection systems. They must
bear the same markings and be technically equivalent.
