Page 7: Introduction
KEWA is a blue water sailing vessel designed, meticulously outfitted, continually upgraded, and rigorously maintained for serious coastal and offshore cruising. She was designed by Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy in Ellos, Sweden in 1999. The hull number 126. HR46s were manufactured between 1995 and 2005, after which the HR46 was replaced with the HR48 and subsequently the HR50.
Page 8 Watermaker high pressure (Balmar and General Pump Model WM3015C) House freshwater Master shower drain Using the dock water flush system 1. Run dock hose to cockpit locker and hook up to hose/fitting. 2. In engine room, open sea chest strainer thru hull. 3. Open fresh flush valve on sea chest. All other sea chest valves should be in closed position at this time. 4. On the dock, open the water hose valve one half turn. That’s plenty of flow for all systems. 5. Open the valve on the sea chest for the system you want to run or flush. 6. Turn on system and flush for approximately 10 minutes. You can run all systems at once if desired. 7. When flushing is done, turn off system/s and close appropriate sea chest valve/s. Excess water from dock hose continues to flow out through t-hull. 8. Turn off dock hose water. 9. Turn off sea chest strainer thru hull. 10. Turn off fresh flush valve on sea chest. 11. Disconnect dock hose. Copyright © 2010 www.sail-kewa.com Page 8...

The mobile iSatPhone2, when placed in the docking station, serves as the backup voice and data comm system for KEWA, in addition to providing for handheld mobile communications if required. Data throughput is relatively low (on the order of <<<9600 baud>>>) and in practice is usable for very limited/focused OCENS email and optimized...

Page 13 5a. It takes about x minutes to boot up, depending on a variety of factors. In addition to a built-in wireless in the V30 control unit, KEWA has an eero router to provide wifi access throughout the boat. There also is a hardwire ethernet connector installed at the port cockpit nav table.
Page 15 TracPhone Utilization I use tppMeter running on Windows 7 to monitor network activity and data consumption. KVH provides a website for utilization and billing, but it usually takes a day to be updated (https://www.myebill.com/index.asp?page=home). KEWA Manual © Copyright 2008 Page:...

If in the life raft, the EPIRB should be secured via the lanyard and set outside of the life raft to float in the water. If on KEWA, ensure that the EPIRB is in the open (i.e., not below decks or underneath the dodger).

I use the Navionics chart kit. www.navionics.com. The charts are contained on a microSD card. A single card installed on one of the chartplotters on the backbone is shared across all three units. The card can be removed and plugged in a PC for updating. KEWA Manual © Copyright 2016 Page: 32...
Page 33: Detailing
Detailing Exterior Washing KEWA must be at least rinsed with freshwater when returning to the dock after being on the water. It is highly desirable to do a complete soap wash-down of the exterior after every use, using Boat Zoap or West Marine boat soap. I schedule a professional wash- down at the dock twice a month when the boat is left at dock.

Page 38: Light Air Asymmetrical
The winds are routinely strong in the Bay Area and we’ve also encountered 30K+ winds while anchored in Mexico. KEWA tends to sail fairly heavily while anchored, perhaps due to the hard dodger; I’m not sure. To help mitigate this, I have a Banner Bay Marine Fin Delta #2 anchor sail that markedly reduces sailing while anchored.

10 degrees F. Refer to the section on the propeller for details, but note that KEWA has a Gori dual forward pitch prop. Operating the prop in overdrive works well when motor sailing, or motoring in light seas or conditions that otherwise are easy on the boat.

When the vessel is put into neutral before putting the vessel in reverse, the blades fold immediately under the current caused by the forward motion of the vessel.

Page 46 The Gori 3-blade propeller has two distinct pitch settings in the forward direction – standard and overdrive or, as the Hallberg-Rassy manual refers to them, first gear (high revolution) and second gear (low revolution). Although standard forward is the pitch setting that Gori views as the “normal”...

As with the prop, the zincs must be regular monitored and replaced as necessary (present estimate is replacement approximately every 6 months). KEWA Manual © Copyright 2016 Page: 47...

SCUBA tank storage, secondary anchor nest, grill and table mount, etc. KEWA’s arch is principally constructed of over-sized 2” <3xx> stainless tubing and optimized for easy stern boat access, configuration of the antenna farm and solar panels. I’m extremely pleased with the aesthetics of the arch and how well it integrates into the design and functionality of the boat.
Page 50: Electrical
Electrical KEWA has a very comprehensive and flexible electrical system. On-board, power is available throughout the boat, whether at the dock or underway: • 12vdc • 24vdc • USB charging plugs • 110vac • 220vac Power is supplied via battery banks, inverters, chargers, solar, the genset and/or shore power.
Page 51 1.0 – 1.3 load) WiFi booster 0.3 – 0.5 iSatPhone2 Batteries are the heart of the electronics system and KEWA is configured with 4 separate battery banks: • House 24v • House 12v • Aux engine start battery (12v) • Genset start battery (12v)
Page 52: Chargers & Inverters
(e.g., don’t run chargers while running the SCUBA compressor). KEWA is configured with a soft-start transformer to deliver 220v on the load side as she fundamentally runs on 220V European power. Due to the sensitive nature of modern electronics and the fact that dock-supplied voltages can be all over the map, KEWA is also fitted with an aftermarket Variac adjustable transformer.
Page 53: Batteries
I really like the non- intrusive nature of solar power and am extremely pleased to have it on KEWA. The MasterVolt solar controller is interfaced to the ship’s PC so current charging values as well as history is available via the MasterVolt PC application.

By default they read the GPS signal from the arch-mounted antenna, but each of the units has an internal GPS antenna as well.

Deck Gear Notes Deck Lights KEWA has a red LED floodlight to illuminate the foredeck and also stern LED lights for dingy work or whatever at night. The stern lights can illuminate in white (by simply turning them on at the nav breaker panel) or in red (by cycling the power switch on-off-on in fairly rapid succession).
Page 75: Galley
A must have. Frigoboat Refrigerator/Freezer KEWA has two 24v refrigeration units. Each can be configured as a refrigerator or a freezer. These are very nice systems as they keep the boxes at a pretty constant temperature versus a holding plate system that is either freshly cooled or getting warm.
Page 76: Electrolux Microwave
220v inverter must be turned on (the inverter control is on the CSCB panel in walkway). The low power main breaker and microwave breakers must also be turned on. It draws something like 30a so its use should be kept to a minimum. KEWA Manual © Copyright 2008 Page:...

To launch, use the spinnaker halyard. The dingy should be turned on its port side with the hull facing to KEWA’s starboard. The spinnaker sheet is then attached to the Wichard lifting harness and as the halyard is pull, the dingy will slowly roll over to its normal upright position as long as someone manages the bow with the painter and the stern with your arms to keep it off the mast and shrouds.
