Conserving power will result in less time needed for charging, so turn off systems that are not actively being used. - Page 11 7. Instruments Your yacht is equipped with the following instruments on board at the helm.: Garmin GMI 10 (windspeed, depth, and more), GHC 10 (auto-helm), and GPS Map 4008.

Distress: “MAYDAY MAYDAYMAYDAY” – This is an international distress signal and an imperative call for assistance.
- Page 14 9. Anchoring & the Windlass Dropping the Anchor: Preparation: • Establish a non-verbal communication system for signaling between the helmsman at the stern and the fore-deck grunt at the bow, necessary because the noise of wind and the engine will likely make verbal communication difficult and frustrating. Agree upon hand signals to indicate direction-to-go, slowing down, putting engine in neutral, stopping the boat, anchor in the water and clear of the water (to gauge risk of anchor swinging into bow), and anchor free of the bottom.

Page 25: Air Conditioning
17. Air Conditioning The air conditioning only operates when connected to shore-side power. Once plugged in to shore power, switch on the breakers below the navigation desk. AC circuit breakers Ensure all hatches and companionway doors are closed before starting air conditioning otherwise Power the compressors may freeze up. -
Page 26: Circuit Breakers
Bleeding the System: Sometimes while sailing air will find its way into the water intake and effectively “lock” water from flowing to the units, meaning they cannot run as it is from this circulation of outside water that the units produce cool air. The head units will blink “HPF” (High Pressure Fault) and shut down when an air lock happens. -
Page 27: The Engine
18. The Dinghy and Outboard The driver of the dinghy must be over 18 and must wear the kill cord at all times. Never operate the dinghy under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Always tow the dinghy using a short line while motoring (to prevent fouling the propeller) and a long line while sailing. -
Page 28: Swim Ladder
Swim Ladder Your yacht is equipped with a retractable transom that also doubles as a transom seat when the transom is up. There is a removable swim ladder that is stowed in the port cockpit locker. While underway (sailing or motoring), the transom should remain closed. After you are securely anchored or moored, feel free to deploy the transom for a swim platform or easy access to your dinghy (though be careful not to let the dinghy hull ride up on the platform, which could damage both the dinghy hull and the platform). - Page 29 Glossary: Transit Seacocks and Through-hulls Snubbing line Lee shore Y-valve Pennant line (mooring pennant)
