Cockpit Tri-fold Door

WARNING - When in the open position, the tri-fold door must be fastened
using BOTH the rope jammer as well as locked off using the safety bar at the
base of the door.
Whilst offering fantastic access from the cockpit to the interior whilst in the
fully open position, the trifold door must only be opened with a continuous
assessment of weather conditions. Although unlikely, there is potential for the
cockpit to flood as a result of following seas or alike. Consequently, the
following warning must be adhered to:
WARNING - Tri-fold door must only be fully opened in conditions of beaufort
scale 5 or less (wind 17-21 knotts – wave height 2 – 2.5m). Above beaufort
force 5, all tri-fold doors to remain closed and portside washboard to be in
place.
Your vessel maybe fitted with a temporary washboard that is stored on the
vertical face of the main saloon settee. As per conditions above, the white
fiberglass board can be positioned in the lower section of the port doorway to
raise the downflooding height of the cockpit whilst still allowing access to/from
the cockpit.
