  • Page 7 IMPORTANT Your Intrepid Yacht is identified by a hull identification number (HIN) on the right corner of the transom. This identifies the number of the hull and supplies the government officials with additional information concerning the builder and the year of manufacture.
  • Page 8 1.0 COMMISSIONING Intrepid dealers are chosen because they are knowledgeable professionals. Since you are bearing the launching and commissioning expenses of your new yacht you have a right to expect a thorough and professional job. Please note that the checklists provided in this manual are to assist you and your dealer with the first launching of your boat.

  • Page 14 Your dealer is not, however, authorized by Intrepid Yachts to consent to repairs or the replacement of parts without the express written approval of Intrepid Yachts.

  • Page 15: Operation And Maintenance

    The hull of your Intrepid was fabricated in layers beginning with gel coat, mat and woven roving. The number of plys in the hull laminate vary depending on the size of the hull and the location in the hull.

  • Page 16: Bottom Paints

    2.1-4 Hardware The deck hardware items on your Intrepid Yacht were engineered for their intended purposes. Since many deck hardware items are expected to withstand considerable strains, they are bolted through the deck and through a back-up reinforcement where required.

  • Page 17: Spars And Rigging

    2.1-5 Mast Step The mast step areas of Intrepid Yachts are carefully engineered to transmit the loads set up by the rigging evenly to the hull with no local stress concentrations. For boats supplied with deck stepped masts, a compression member transmits the load directly to the keel area of the hull.

  • Page 18: Rigging

    iron fastenings are used on the aluminum as these metals are incompatible and electrolytic decomposition will start at once. Check the tang fittings for lower shrouds and mounts for the spreaders as you proceed up the mast. Carefully check all tangs, straps and fittings at the masthead.

  • Page 19: Turnbuckles

    After completing the above inspection, the mast may be stepped and the standing rigging secured to the chainplate. In all Intrepid Yachts the upper shrouds are attached to the chainplate in direct line athwart from the mast step. Lower shrouds are attached fore and aft of the upper.

  • Page 20: Tuning

    The remaining shrouds will provide adequate mast support. The Intrepid 35 is equipped with open body integral turnbuckles. The two cotter pins should be inserted and spread open. The threaded sections above and below the barrels as well as the cotter pins should be taped once the final adjustments have been made.

  • Page 21: Sheets

    Upper shrouds should also be tightened equally and have about an inch of “give” to them. Forward lower shrouds should have one to two inches of “give”, and the aft lowers slightly more. Under no circumstances take up the rigging to bar tight tension. Both the mast and the boat can be severely damaged by excessive tension.
  • Page 22 Y = 15-5/8” Lowers Y = 14-1/2” Intrepid 35 Y dimension is established by the maximum open dimension that still allows cotter pin to be installed in the holes at the end of each stud. This is required for a positive lock.

  • Page 23: Sails

    Intrepid 35 Topping Lift: The Intrepid 35 topping lift system is similar to the Intrepid 9 Meter except that the becket block is attached to the topping lift and both a single block and a check block are attached to the boom giving greater mechanical advantage.

  • Page 26: Sailcare

    There are reef “points” in the mainsail of Intrepid Yachts fitted with “Jiffy Reefing”. Use 18” lengths of 1/4” line and run them through each reef point.

  • Page 27: Battens

    The first sail that you will probably want to add to your complement of working sails is a 150% genoa. This sail provides more power and speed in lighter wind conditions and is particularly effective going to windward. Intrepid Yachts has genoa and genoa gear packages available.

  • Page 28: Plumbing Systems

    2.5-1 Fresh Water Tanks The Intrepid 9 Meter is equipped with a 30 gallon water tank located under the port main cabin berth. The water fill is located amidships outboard of the hanging locker on deck.

    2.5-3 Head Both the Intrepid 9 Meter and the Intrepid 35 come standard with a marine head and a 24 gallon bow holding tank with provisions for dockside discharge. An overboard discharge capability is optional.

  • Page 32: Steering Gear

    Steering Gear Maintenance of the tiller steered Intrepid Yachts is simple: keep the bearing at the top of the rudder post lubricated with a good waterproof grease. Check the condition of the key and keyway on the rudder shaft and the tiller cap.

  • Page 35: Electrical System

    Electrical System 2.8-1 Battery The Intrepid 9 Meter is equipped with a 65 amp-hour 12 volt marine type battery located in the engine compartment. The Intrepid 35 is equipped with two (2) 65 amp-hour 12 volt marine batteries located in the engine compartment. Each battery is enclosed in a break resistant non-conductive case.

    Engine and Propulsion System You have been provided with an instructional manual for the engine in your Intrepid Yacht. We have just a few suggestions which will probably repeat what the owner’s manual says regarding your diesel inboard: 1. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the starting, running and stopping procedure before you leave the dock.

  • Page 41: Propeller Shaft Alignment

    2.9-1 Propeller Shaft Alignment Propeller shaft alignment is extremely important to the performance of your diesel auxiliary. Every Intrepid Yacht has its engine aligned on the bed before it leaves the factory. The engine may shift on its bed, however, during transport or launching.

  • Page 46: Cushions

    2.10-2 Ice Box The ice box on your Intrepid is designed to drain water from melted ice through scuppers into the bilge. Because small food particles, juices from meats, etc. may also drain into the bilge, it is wise to use a name brand bilge cleaner in the bilge as needed or every three to four weeks (depending on how frequently you are using the ice box).

  • Page 47: General

    2.11 Maintaining Teak Teak above deck on the Intrepid has been sanded and oiled to a full golden hue before it leaves the assembly area. As it gets exposed to sunlight and drying conditions, the wood begins to take on a grey appearance that will eventually lead to surface deterioration of the wood.

  • Page 48: Safety And Equipment

    6. Up-to-date charts of the waters to be sailed Fire Extinguishers Fire extinguishers are not standard equipment on your Intrepid; they are to be provided by you, the owner. Fire aboard any boat is a real and serious hazard. It is important to take adequate precautions against fire and be well prepared to extinguish one quickly and thoroughly should it occur.
  • Page 49 Appropriate safety precautions are important before, during, and after fueling. Before fueling the first time, be familiar with the instructions provided by the engine manufacturer. 1. Fuel docks should be approached at reasonable speed without wake. Observe posted speed limits and instructions. Be considerate of others using the docks, and watch for a dockmaster or hand who might give you instructions.

  • Page 50: Weather Forecasts

    4.0 WINTERIZING Winterizing is a relatively simple procedure on the Intrepid. We are assuming that the boat will be dry stored in the following instructions. If you should decide to wet store your boat, be sure to take adequate precautions against water freezing in the engine and plumbing systems on your boat.

  • Page 51: Blocking The Hull

    Blocking the Hull A good boatyard is, no doubt, expert at properly supporting the hull. Check to make sure that the weight of the hull is resting on the keel. The purpose of cradle bulkheads is to balance the boat in an upright position, not to bear the weight of the boat. Before hoisting out, show the boatyard the profile of the hull so that they will know how to position crane or straddle hoist straps.

  • Page 52: Engine

    Engine Follow the instructions in the engine owner’s manual supplied by the manufacturer. Disconnect engine cooling water intake to make sure that no water remains in the line. Reconnect line and secure hose clamps. Fuel Tanks The best way to store a fuel tank is empty. Partially filled tanks invite condensation.
