Come up to the CAN into the wind as you would for anchoring. Have crew members on the bow, one with
a boat hook and one with a mooring line secured like a bow line. As you are coming slowly up to the can
have the crew holding the boat hook point at the can with the hook so the skipper always knows where it
is. Hook the can and bring the ring up to the boat to allow the second crew to thread the ring with the line.
Release the hold with the boat hook. If your mooring line is led out the starboard chock bring the end of
the line back through the port side. You will essentially create a bridle with about 10 feet of slack from the
chalk to the can.
The BARBECUE is stored in the Lazarette.
When you wish to cook with the barbecue, place the barbecue on the back deck with foil underneath to
catch any drips. Attach a PROPANE BOTTLE to the REGULATOR found. Propane bottles are provided by
AYC and should be stored in the cockpit cabinet. Carefully light the unit, preferably with long-stem butane
lighter. The barbecue generates a lot of heat and cooks hot and fast.

CLEAN the Barbecue before storing it. A quick wipe down to remove grease will go a long way towards
making your use of it more pleasurable and less messy. Store the barbecue unit back in the lazarrette.

compartment. Chances are these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into low
spaces. Store these bottles in the cockpit cabinet. Please do not place the bottles on the teak deck without
something underneath; the bottles can stain the wood. Note: Propane bottles are stocked by AYC.
The Apex 11', 5-person TENDER with a 25hp Nissan engine is stored on the swim platform, aft. The tender
