HANDLING
- Install a fore rope, a rear rope and fenders.
- When craning, check that no device is crushed by the belts (sounder, speedometer,
shaft, etc.).
- Mark the belt position with adhesive tape on the toe rail (most of the boats are already
fitted with these stickers). The belt position will be useful during the craning for a future
launching.
- The crane hook will be fitted with a gantry or a spacer with two belts. The belts shall
not be hooked directly on the hook, since it would result in unusual compressive
stresses on the hull.
- Hoist slowly. Control the movement of the boat with ropes.
AFTER LAUNCHING
- Check the sounder and speedometer fittings for tightness if need be.
- Open the valves and make sure that they are tight with the hull and relevant hose.
- Check the stuffing box for watertightness (Refer to chapter 11 "Stuffing box").
- Before starting the engine, refer to chapter 11 "Engine".
STEPPING THE MAST
Refer to chapter 6 "Rigging and sails".
WARNING
Do not stay on board or under the boat during hoisting.
360 Docking version:
Put the control lever in neutral AFTER ENGAGING FORWARD GEAR FOR A
FEW SECONDS, so the POD is properly located in the ahead position
