Located above the 12v and 110v panel are these breakers and switches. When on shore power, ensure the ‘shore 1’ and ‘shore 2’ breakers are on. When using the generator, ensure the ‘generator’ and ‘transfer’ breakers are The 3 switches on the right hand side operate 110v systems: Inverter: must be switched on when charging the batteries via shore power or generator.

Inverter for Charging phone, cameras, etc… Currently there is provided a Xantrex 400 Watt inverter which plugs into the 12v DC socket on the panel. This device has a 600 Watt surge capability, but constant 400 Watts/ For 110 volt Amperage X 110 = wattage Wattage / 110 = amperage For larger requirements have the generator running with transfers and...
4. Engine start procedures Stop button Ignition key • Engage the neutral button on the side of the throttle handle and set the handle forward to apply some revs. • Turn key anti-clockwise for 10 seconds to heat the glow plug. •...
5. Daily engine checks • Check the oil level using dip stick located to the left rear of the engine. The level should be at least halfway between the empty and full marks. To add oil open the oil filler cap on the top of the engine. •...
6. Generator Tatiana is fitted with its own generator which will run the 110v outlets, the air conditioning and will also charge the batteries in place of the engine. The generator is located behind the back panels of the aft cabin. To start the generator: •...
7. Air conditioning The air conditioning breakers should be turned on after the generator has been running for 5 minutes (or once the boat is plugged into shore power) and the breakers should be shut off before stopping the generator or unplugging from shore power.

Bleeding the system: When sailing in rough seas the air conditioning unit can become air blocked. When the unit is turned on the display will read ‘Hi’ and only hot air will blow out of the vents. If this happens open the bilge compartment in the saloon just before the forward cabin and locate the bleed valve.
8. Instruments Located at the starboard helm are the following Raymarine instruments: ST60 Wind Indicator ST60 Tridata ST6002 Autopilot Located at the port helm are the following Raymarine instruments: ST60 Tridata ST60 Wind Indicator Located at the cockpit table is a Raymarine E120 chart plotter.
9. VHF procedures Using the VHF radio: Familiarise yourself with the method for switching channels, and with the squelch and volume controls on your radio. Most radios have a button to instantly select Channel 16 – ensure you understand how this operates or you could end up speaking on Ch.

Types of emergency: In the unlikely event that you are involved in an emergency stay calm and follow these steps. You will also have an Emergency Procedure card next to your VHF. Distress: “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.” This is an International Distress signal and an imperative call for assistance.
10. Batteries There are 3 ways to recharge your batteries. Engine: The batteries will need to be recharged as often as you deplete them. Conserving power will result in less time needed for charging, so turn off systems that you are not using. Your batteries will charge when the engine is running at 1400rpms or more, whether sitting at a mooring or motoring to a destination.

11. Anchoring & the windlass Setting your anchor: Preparation: • Establish a non verbal communication system from bow to stern, as with the noise of the engine and wind, verbal communication proves difficult. • Tie the dinghy painter close to the boat at the bow or amidships to avoid wrapping it around the prop.

Manual operation of the windlass If you lose power to your windlass, start the engine and give it some revs, to make sure you have not just got a low battery voltage. If you still have power, operate windlass manually. drop anchor, insert...
12. Picking up a mooring buoy • Ensure the dinghy painter is tied off short on the bow or amidships and is clear of the prop. • Approach the mooring buoy, keeping the bow into the wind or current, whichever prevails. •...
13. Bilge pumps Your yacht is equipped with an automatic and a manual bilge pump. primary electric pump is operated by a switch on the 12v panel which should be left in the ‘auto’ position as the pump is operated by a float switch which will automatically operate the pump when there is water in the bilge.
14. Fresh water system Tatiana is equipped with two water tanks with a capacity of 94 gallons split between them. To fill the tanks, let the water run from the hose for awhile before placing the end into the fillers that are located port and starboard amidships.
15. Heads • Nothing is to be put down the head unless it has been digested first, with the exception of 3 sheets of paper. • Prior to use, add some water to the bowl by pressing the left side of the bottom switch.
16. Showers Your yacht has a hot & cold, fresh-water shower in each head and on the transom. If the engine has been running, the hot water can be very hot – be cautious! In order to use the showers, the fresh-water pump must be activated on the 12v panel.
17. Refrigeration The system on this boat is an upgraded 12v refrigerator. This system is designed to run 24hrs a day if you wish. To ensure that it does not fail keep your batteries charged. If the level goes below 12.2v the fridge will automatically cut out.

18. Propane and stove The propane tank locker is located next to the helm seat on the port side. To use: • Turn the LPG switch on, this is located to the left of the fridge. This opens the solenoid on the tank.
19. BBQ • When using the BBQ, tie your dinghy off at the side of the yacht, not off the stern • Never use the BBQ while sailing • Never use the BBQ on a dock • Never change propane tanks when using the BBQ •...
20. Fire Safety Prevention is the best answer to fire safety. • Always switch off the safety solenoid when stove is not in use • Never leave the stove or oven burning unattended. • Never change propane tanks whilst barbequing. •...

21. Dinghy & Outboard The driver of the dinghy must be over 18, and must at all times be wearing the kill cord. Never operate the dinghy under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Always tow your dinghy on a short line while maneuvering in close quarters and a long line while sailing in open water, always tow with the engine tilted forward as it gives you an extra half knot and prevents unnecessary damage.
