Your HÉLIA 44 belongs to the « OCEAN-GOING » category (category A).
pleasure boat of design category A is considered as designed for winds which can
A
exceed force 8 (in the Beaufort scale) and for waves which can exceed a height
of 4metres, excluding exceptional conditions such as thunderstorms, violent storms,
tornadoes and extreme maritime conditions or huge waves.
The navigation ability also depends on the crew’s skills. Their physical abilities, the
condition of the boat and hardware.

WIND FORCE
(BEAUFORT SCALE)
WIND SPEED
Be very careful before going to sea. Fountaine Pajot cannot guarantee the perfect operation of the boat in exceptional sea conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones,
tornadoes, etc.)
The Hélia 44 is a boat susceptible to capsize and to stay inverted if there are excessive
sails. This is why it is important to respect the sail reduction table.

2
boom.
Haul up the furling line.
3
Haul up the mainsail’s halyard if it is necessary so that the tack point is at
4
10cm approximatively above the boom.
WARNING
The topping lift must be haul up in order to have an angle
between the boom and the mast of 90°max.

- DDF_LDV_ACC_054
- DDF_PIE_054_008
Start the starboard engines (1500 rpm).
The windlass is controlled using the remote control in the anchor well.
Setting up the anchor
Unhook the safety hoist.
1
Drop the anchor and chain to a few meters from the final length desired.
2
Hook the chain to the bridle snap hook available in the anchor well.
3
Drop the end of the length of chain desired until the anchoring tension is picked
4
up by the bridle.

ANCHORAGE (NEXT)
Raising the anchor
Start the starboard engine.
1
Raise the anchor to the bridle snap hook and undo the snap hook from the
2
bridle.
When raising, check that the chain enters the well properly in order to avoid
3
the chain blocking.
Raise the anchorage slowly, checking that the anchor is placed correctly in its
4
davit.
When the anchor is close to the davit, check that the tip moves into the roller
5
in the right direction.
Block the chain by pulling hard on the security hoist: this will jam the anchor
6
on the davit and prevent it to damage davit or hulls.
WARNING
During the operation, stay away from the windlass and the chain and
make sure that you protect your hands and feet.
Keep an eye whilst rising the chain in order to not damage the hull.
WARNING
If the force required by the windlass is too important, the breaker is
triggered. Reset it to restart the windlass (accessible in the starboard
engine compartment).

MOORING AND TOWING
For mooring, the anchor points are the 6 cleats (a) :
- 2 x front
- 2 x middle
- 2 x aft
The cleats have a resistance of around 6000kg. They are designed for a Ø18 polyamide rope.
For towing, use the 2 front cleats to attach a Ø18 polyamide rope like a snap rope.
