6. FLOODING
Boat flooding risks:
- Before putting to sea, always check that portholes, deck hatches and any other
openings that could allow flooding are shut.
-When under sail, close all seacocks, except the engine water intake.
- Periodically check:
-
Watertightness of the stern gland.
Cockpit locker lids must be fastened shut before putting to sea. This is particularly
important for the lockers representing a major flooding risk (for example, removable
locker for TD helmsman's seat, TD cockpit locker in the 2-cabin version)
7. FIRE PROTECTION
7.1. Installation
- Fire extinguishers are subject to national regulations, for this reason they are not
supplied with your boat.
- We recommend you to equip your boat with fire extinguishers meeting the ISO
9094-1 standard, with the following specifications:
a) Minimum capacity per extinguisher: 5A/34B,
b) Minimum combined extinguisher capacity: 10A/68B,
c) 1 extinguisher within:
- 1 m (for boats < 10 m) or 2 m (for boats > 10 m) of the cockpit
- 2 m of the extinguisher opening for dowsing the engine,
d) 1 extinguisher within 2 m of the cooker,
e) 1 extinguisher within 5 m of the bunks.
f)
CO2 extinguishers may be placed in accommodation areas only where
flammable liquids are present (e.g. galley) or where there is powered electrical
equipment. There must not be more than one CO2 extinguisher per area at risk,
and its maximum capacity must not exceed 2 kg.
Only compatible replacement parts must be used in fire protection systems. They
must bear the same markings and be technically equivalent.
