Gas safety
All our yachts are fitted with propane detectors. The propane 'sniffer' has been placed
in the bilge (propane is heavier than air and so will sink into the bilge). The detectors
are sensitive to several types of gas and will trigger the alarm. The alarm can also be
triggered if there is moisture in the bilge. If the alarm sounds it does not necessarily
mean that the propane system is leaking, so don't panic!!
If the alarm goes off, follow these steps:
• Close the valve on the propane tank.
• Check the stove and surrounding area for propane smell.
• If detected, open all bilges and hatches.
manual bilge pump to pump out the bilges.
• Call Horizon immediately
Under no circumstances should you use the electrical bilge pumps or any
other electrical system if you suspect a gas leak.
