  • Page 32: Ac System (Alternating Current 230/110 Volt)

    Owner‘s manual Please observe the instructions of the manufacturer: The batteries are AGM batteries, an absorbed glass mat battery has the electrolyte absorbed in a fiber-glass mat separator. While these batteries are often colloquially called sealed lead–acid batteries, they always include a safety pressure relief valve. As opposed to vented (also called flooded) batteries, a VRLA cannot spill its electrolyte if it is in- verted. Because AGM VRLA batteries use much less electrolyte (battery acid) than traditional lead–acid batteries, they are sometimes called an „acid-starved“ design.These batteries are well suited to marine applications. 6.6. AC System (alternating current 230/110 Volt) The 230/110 Volt panel serves as the control unit with connected shore power or the generator running. The system is polarized.

    Navigation and Handling 7.6. Anchoring, Mooring & Towing – security advice Caution - To anchor - being towed - on a mooring Should your yacht be towed by another yacht, make sure the load is evenly distributed on the two forward cleats. Use the same system on a mooring. The bower anchor is located in the bow fitting ready to fall. The chain runs over rollers into an electric anchor windlass, then drops into the anchor locker. The chain is securely fastened here. To adequately moor the vessel the boat has been equipped with cleats at the bow, the stern and on the side decks, the cleats are sufficiently backed by laminate to fulfil the requirements of the directive and to take the loads while moored in a save haven. Should you leave the boat unattended for longer periods, secure the mooring lines against chafe or unintentional loosening. As an option you may have stern windlasses at your disposal – read the respective manuals for safe operation. Information » It is the owners / operators responsibility to ensure that the mooring lines, towing lines, anchor chains, and anchors are adequate for the vessel‘s intended use. Owners should also consider what action will be necessary when securing a tow line on board. » The breaking load of the forward cleats for towing and mooring on an anchorage has been established to be 51,6 kN. This corresponds to a horizontal tow of ca. 5260 kg.

The security equipment must be surveyed and checked in regular intervals and before you embarque on a trip. Check its completeness, their proper function and that the equipment is ready to be used instantly. Local authorities, national and international watersport organisations and federations will happily assist you in gaining information about the security equipment needed for the type and size of your craft in the area you intend to navigate in. The sea is unpredictable. Therefore you should close all hatches, portlights and the companionway covers when under way.

    Owner‘s manual 8.2. Rough weather conditions – Measures to be taken » In bad weather conditions nobody should stay on open deck spaces that are not appropriately secured. » In rough weather, hatches, lockers and companionway/doorways through which water could be enter should be closed to minimise the risk of water ingress. All appliances and parts needed for those openings to be closed should therefore be on board, in good working condition, ready to be used. » All openings that are watertight, slash tight or weather tight should be closed when under way – except the open- ings needed for the safe operation of the craft. It should be possible to close those openings easily at any time. »...

    Owner‘s manual 8.6. Man-over board (MOB) – Risk of falling overboard - Reboarding The working deck area is always a safe place to operate from. Areas outside the specified working deck should only be used whilst leaving or arriving at a mooring or whilst the boat is not underway. On this boat, the working deck area is marked in green in the below plan view of the deck. The area in red is slippery due to the installed glazing in this area. The working deck is defined as the cockpit and the side decks on main deck level without the aft platform. The top of the coach roof (cabintop) and the aft platform are not part of the working deck. Most man-over-board incidents are due to slippery surfaces and happen while boarding or leaving the craft.

    General considerations 8.7. Reboarding devices Man over board (or MOB) manoevre includes all possible measure to rescue the person fallen over board from a vessel. The manouvre has to be executed instantly and always has the first priority. This manouvre is a fundamental part of good seamanship and has to be trained with every new boat and crew. The primary reboarding device on the BAVARIA Cruiser Yacht is the bathing ladder, see the position on the below dra- wing, it pictured here in the final deployed position. Please be aware that these drawings do not reflect the geometry of your specific boat, but are generic drawigs illus- trating the concept. The ladder may not be installed or deployed by a person in the water, in case the platform is not lowered and/or the fixed ladder is not mounted yet BAVARIA YACHTS has installed a rope ladder that might be deployed by removing the grey cap and the pulling out the three-step-ladder.

    Owner‘s manual 9. Maintenance Caution » Modifications that may affect the safety characteristics of the craft should be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. » Any change in the disposition of the masses aboard may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of the boat 9.1. Maintenance of the electrical system Information » Check all terminals for corrosion - corroded terminals and connectors should be replaced or thoroughly cleaned.

  • Page 75: Maintenance

    Maintenance 9.2. Maintenance Cleaning Clean and rinse the boat possibly just after you take out of the water. You may remove marine growth from your boats bottom very effectively with a high pressure cleaner. Different cleaning and caring agents are available for the maintenance of the boats surfaces. For boats navigating in sea water: Salt attracts water from the environment, this speeds up corrosion. Whenever possible the boat should be rinsed with fresh water. Do only utilise biodegradable detergents. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents they scratch and bleech the surfaces. Clean heavy soilings with fresh water and care products. To clean off stains of lime (dried out water), use vinegar.
  • Page 76 Owner‘s manual Maintenance of stainless steel parts The corrosion resistance of stainless steel fittings is based on their ability to constitute a thin skin together with the air, which constitutes a positive electrical potential. Specialists call it CR-passivated (CR stands for chrome). But chrome is negative and a bit less noble than iron in the electrochemical series. If this thin protection skin is damaged the stainless CR gets reactive and less noble than pure chrome. The corrosion then starts. Were you ever annoyed by these little brown spots on the fittings? They are caused by flying rust or particles of iron scale, which are contained in the air and near big towns. As soon as the flying rust settles onto the protective layer of the stainless steel, it destroys the CR-passivity very aggressively and fast.

    Maintenance 9.3. Winter storage The boat and its systems may be harmed if you do not cater for the winters cold period. We have already covered issues on winter storage in different paragraphs of this manual. Generally speaking: Companies offering winter storage services should apply latest technological standards. This includes environmental conditions, storage cradles, fire protection and accessibility of your yacht. The work carried out by the owners them- selves should be covered and ruled in order to prevent any interference between the parties.
  • Page 78 Owner‘s manual The winter storage and the associated works on the engine should generally be covered by a specialist, but the follow- ing should be done as an absolute minimum. » Fill the diesel tanks to reduce the effects of condensation » Check the sacrificial anodes and replace as necessary » Empty all cooling-water of the engine and follow the instructions of the manufacturer, add the recommended amount of antifreeze. » Slacken all V-belts (alternator and other engine driven devices).
