WINCHES OPERATION Avoid rope jamming during winch handling. Do not leave loose ropes on the winches but fasten them on cleats (except on the ’’Self Tailing’’ winches). SAIL SETTING CLASSICAL MAINSAIL With the mainsail being on the deck: - Screw the pins of the mast sliders for battens into their boxes. - Slide in the battens through the leech.
Page 68
FURLING MAINSAIL - Remove the hatch giving access to the furling mechanism. - Spread out the sail on the deck. - Fasten the head (strap) to the shackle of the upper swivel. Pay attention to the winding direction. - Insert the foot adjustment line into the clew block. - Slowly hoist the sail.
Page 69
FURLING GENOA - Secure the head and halyard to the swivel. Secure the tack to the drum and sheets. - Insert the bolt rope into the hole and hoist it and take care that you do not tear it. - Have the halyard taut enough but hoist less taut than a sail on a normal stay. Hoist it until the horizontal creases disappear (Adjust the tension of the luff after a few sea trips).
Page 70
AUTOMATIC IN-MAST REEFING BLOCK DIAGRAM PIECE OF ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION - At the end of the sailing season, and if possible before winter, leave your sails to a specialist to have efficient maintenance and repairs. 66/134...
Page 71
SAILS How long a sail lasts mainly depends on its regular maintenance. When sailing, trim the sails properly in accordance with the stresses in order to reduce the harmful strains on the fabric. Avoid tears and wear: Use protective items against chafing on the the accessories with rough surfaces (protective items for spreaders, stanchions etc.).
Page 72
HAULING DOWN THE STANDARD MAINSAIL To haul down the mainsail: - Head into the eye of the wind. - Slacken off the kick strap. - Take up the slack in the Lazy bag ropes. - Slacken off the mainsail halyard while taking up the reef lines to control the mainsail descent. - Fold the mainsail into its lazy-bag.

Page 120
Engine These instructions give detailed explanations on proper operation of the engine. - Refill before the fuel tanks have almost run dry (the fuel system may be stopped for lack of fuel). - Make sure you have enough fuel before sailing. Access to the engine Access to the engine is via the companionway and the saloon and the aft cabins.
Page 121
Engine operation Before starting the engine: - Turn on the fuel valve. - Open the valve of the engine cooling system and the valve of the stuffing box (see stuffing box paragraph). - Operate the battery switches and energize the electric system. - Disengage the reverse gear (it will make the acceleration possible when in neutral).
Page 123
Fuel filter The engine running problems may have different origins, among which dirty fuel. The injection pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from the condensation resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap either not closed properly or with a damaged seal.

VISIBILITY FROM THE STEERING STATION The international regulations to prevent collision at sea (COLREG) and the course regulations make mandatory a permanent and proper surveillance and the respect of priority. Make sure there is no other boat on your way. The visibility from the steering station may be obstructed in the following conditions: - Speed.
Page 126
NAVIGATION: REMINDER OF SOME ADVICE Stability During sailing keep all the portholes, windows and doors closed. - The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts. - Stability may be reduced when towing a boat or when heavy weights are lifted with the davits. - Breaking waves represent a serious danger for stability and for taking in water.
