Cool Runnings Nuances
1 – Hatchboards: we stow them on the top of the port side above the companionway
tucked up against the handrail.
2 – Fenders: we tie them to the stern rail below the port stern rail seat and leave the
orange one out as a roaming fender.
3 – Dock Lines: we coil them and store them in the aft corner cockpit locker on top of
the power cord and hose.
4 – Throttle Control: neutral is NOT straight up. It is about 1/3 back: there is a black
mark on the pedestal marking neutral.
5 – Furling Main: works great, but be sure to keep tension on the outhaul when furling
in so the sail wraps up tight in the mast. That's the key to any furling main.
6 – Backing and Maneuvering: there is a slight prop walk initially to port when backing.
She handles very well in forward or reverse.
7 – Either cabin can be the captain's cabin: personal preferences vary. Aft is best for
reading in bed and has more storage. Forward V-berth has built in seating area and
more hanging room.
8 – The helm seat swings down to provide a walkthrough to stern. Be gentle and lower
rather than drop the seat!
