A) IDENTITY FILE

Catégory A : « Ocean-going »

The ship is designed for long journeys during which the wind may exceed force 8 (on the Beaufort scale) and the waves of

significant height of 4 metres, for which these ships are broadly self-sufficient.

A) Leaving terminal

Close all the hull portholes, the covers, and the deck and windscreen panels.

Unlock all the doors and chests then check that the water has been emptied from the bilges.

Open the diesel valves and the "sea water" inlets

Fill:

• The fresh water tanks from the front port deck plug.

• The diesel tanks from the plugs on the flats

 Interior rear port and starboard cockpit descents.

SAILING

, 8

Caution - Battery coupling principle:

• The coupling between the service battery pack and the engine battery is triggered when the voltage on one of the parks exceeds 13.2 V.

• The coupling is maintained until the park voltage falls below 12.8 V.

• When the voltage is below 12.8 V, the coupling is interrupted and the

engine battery is then isolated from the service park

• The BACKUP/START-UP circuit breaker enables the battery parks to be coupled IF ONE PARK IS INSUFFICIENT.

It must always be disconnected as soon as the engine is running.

Fuse panels:

The 3 fuse panels are positioned as follows: 1 under the chart table in the saloon,

1 in the rear port engine compartment 1 in the starboard passage hanging closet.

The content of each box is detailed on the lid

DAD_MDP_055_001 — 15/05/2016

In contact

Connect the circuit breakers (port and port engine compartments) and check that the windlass circuit breaker is triggered.

Check the water and diesel levels on the dashboard ("Navigation instruments" switch on the electrical panel).

Place the safety equipment outside (life belts, life rafts, etc.).

Check that there is no fuel and gas vapour inside the compartments.

DAD_MDP_055_001 — 15/05/2015

Starting the engines

Check the engine and base levels every month.

Check the opening of the water intake valve on the base in the engine compartment.

Volvo engines: EVC system

Activate the EVC system by pressing the ON/OFF button.

NB: The EVC control panel cannot be deactivated if an engine is running.

Manoeuvres common to the different engine types:

(1) Clutch, position the lever ½ forward, (2) Start by pressing the START button and let the engines run for 5 min at 1000 rpm (reduced speed to warm up the engine .

Check that the cooling water leaves the exhaust and the anti-siphon through-hull fitting.

Caution - engine supplier's recommendation: Before starting a navigation under sails, consult the engine supplier's instruction manual.

CAUTION : Never activate the starter motor more than ten seconds to start up the engine as water may get into the exhaust and damage the engine
