VI. FLOODING
To avoid the risk of flooding the boat:
- Check that portholes, deck hatches, and any other openings that may cause
flooding, are closed before putting to sea.
- While under way, close all seacocks when they are not in use, except for the engine
water intake.
- Do not exceed the maximum recommended loading.
- The level of water in the bilges must be kept to a minimum.
- Avoid adding weight in high places so as not to affect the stability.
Periodically check:
- Skin fittings, seacocks and pipes are watertight.
- Proper emptying of the cockpit drains.
- Stern glands or sail-drive seals for watertightness.
WARNING
Cockpit locker lids must be fastened shut before putting to sea. This is particularly
important for those lockers that represent a major flooding risk.
VII. FIRE PROTECTION
Installation
Since fire extinguishers are subject to national regulations, they are not supplied with the
boat.
However, when in use, this boat must be fitted with portable extinguishers with the
following capacities, installed in the following locations (see drawing in Appendix 17):
- No. 1
– cockpit locker, within reach of the helmsman - capacity 1 kg - 5A34B
- No. 2
– saloon/mast foot - extinguishing capacity 1 kg - 5A34B
- No. 3
– galley unit - extinguishing capacity 1 kg - 5A34B
- No. 4
– skipper’s cabin on option
If you decide to install a carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher, be aware that it may only be
fitted in accommodation areas that contain powered electrical equipment (e.g. electric
motors, battery compartments, electrical panels) or flammable liquids (e.g. galley).
Only compatible replacement parts must be used in the fire protection system. They must
bear the same markings and be technically equivalent.
In addition, a fire blanket should be stored in the saloon banquette, close to the galley.
This can be very useful, particularly in the event of an oil-based pan fire: saloon banquette.
Similarly, for safety on deck, a fire bucket equipped with a lanyard must be stored in an
immediately accessible locker.
If non-combustible materials are stored in the engine compartment, they must be secured
to avoid the risk of falling onto the machinery and must not obstruct access to the engine
compartment or its exit.
