• Press the button labeled “start on” to engage the ignition (gree n arrow).
• Press and hold the same button until you hear the engine start up.
• Once the engine st arts, adjust th e revs if nec essary and chec k that ther e
is water coming out of the exhaust.
• When the throttle handle is returned to neutral the button springs back
out, so the next time you move the throttle your gears will be engaged.
To stop the engine:
• Put throttle handle to neutral
• Press the button labeled “stop” (red arrow)
• Press the button labeled “off” (blue arrow )
Should you hear an engine alarm during operation, check which alarm light is
on and then shut down the engine and contact Horizon.
All yacht engines run with diesel. There is a diesel filler cap on the transom
which is clearly marked ‘Diesel’. DO NOT PUT WATER IN HERE!
Bow Thrusters
Only operate the bow thrusters when the engine is switched on.
To switch the bow thrusters on, press both red and green buttons at the
same time for 1 second. An audible alarm will sound and a green light will
appear i n the center of the red button.
The bow thrusters will automatically switch off after 5 minutes. To manually
turn off the bow thruster off, press both buttons at the same time for 1
second.
Note:
To avoid damaging the bow thruster, do not depress any directional button
longer than 5 seconds.
The proper usage of the bow thruster will be demonstrated during your boat
orientation.

Coolant refill
5. Daily engine checks
• Check the oi l level using dip stick located to the left rea r 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.
• To the back of the engine is the engine coolant reservoir. The coolant
level should be between the maximum and minimum lines.
• Check for any engine leaks or bilge water below engine.
KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF ALL MOVING PARTS.
ANY PROBLEMS CALL HORIZON

6. Generator
Patriche II is fitted with its own generator which will run the 110v outlets, the
air co n d itio n ing and will a ls o c h a r g e t he b a tt er ie s in place o f t he engine. The
generator is located in the transom locker under the aft steps. The
generators are self regulating and therefore there are no daily checks to
perform.
To start t he generator:
• Make sure the 110v systems are off prior to starting the generator.
• Ensure that y ou have switched from shore power to generator power.
• Press the top switch down for 5 seconds. Whilst holding the top switch
down, pinch the bottom switch up. Hold them both until the generator
starts up and the psi reaches 58.
• The generator should continue to run when you release the switches.
• Allow the generator to warm up for 5 minutes and then gradually load up
the system, adding one load every 2 minutes.
Stoppin g the generator
• Turn off all 110v systems
• Push down quickly on the bottom of the switch and release.
• The generat o r will c lose down .
Resetting the generator:
If the genera tor trips out check the r eset breakers on the front pa nel of the
generator itself.
YOU MUST NOT RUN THE GENER ATOR WHEN UNDERWAY
7. Air conditioni ng
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.
Ensure the companionway and all hatches are closed; otherwise the
compressors will freeze up.
Starting the air conditioning:
• Switch on the ac pump first.
• Switch on the required units; there are 2: forward cabin and main saloon
and aft cabin.
• Each of these units also has an individual control which allows users to
alter the settings for the individual units.
Using the unit control panels:
• Switch the remote units on using the ‘fan’ button.
• Set the temperature using the ‘set’ button and the ‘up’ and ‘down’ controls.
• The units will work best is the minimum temperature is set no lower than
63 degrees. Set it below this and you risk frosting up the unit and causing
it to shut down.
• Only select the ‘cool’ mode.
• The remote panel will automatic ally display the am bient t emperature.
• Switch the units off by pressing the ‘off’ button.

9. VHF procedures
Using the VHF radio:
Familiarize 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. 16 when you think you are on some other
channel.
1. Make sure the radio is switched on, volume quite high, power to high
unless the station you are calling is very close.
2. Squelch up until loud hissing, and then back a little until the noise just
stops.
3. Select the channel for calling (Channel 16 , unless specified otherwise).
4. Press switch on microphone when speaking. Release immediately.
If no response then wait two minutes and repeat the call. If still no
response, wait a further two minutes before trying again. If calling on
Channel 16, it is very important to switch to a working channel after the
contact is established. Do no use Channel 16 for your conversa tions – this
channel is for hailing and distress only.
Channels to use:
16 Hailing and Distress
74 Contact Horizon Yacht Charters (when in range)
12 Yacht Charter Companies working channel – assigned for yacht
breakdown servi cing and e mergen cy only
68 Marinas and Yacht Clubs – for lunch/dinner reservations etc
06 Ship to Ship – along with Channel 68 and 77 can be used for contact
between boats
In the event that your vessel is involved in a non-life threatening incident
with an object or with another vessel, it is important that you contact the
Horizon Office immediately at 494 8787 or 542 8788. Please remember to
get as much information as possible about your location, the other vessel’s
description and what damage ha s been done to your vessel so that we can
best assist you.
Failure to report any accidents or incidents in a timely manner may
result in nullification of your hull damage insurance.
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. It is used only when a life or
vessel is considered to be in grave and immine nt danger.
Mayday Relay: used to summon help for a vessel which is either too far
offshore to contact the coastguard directly, without radio capabilities or
whose radio has bee n damage d o r destroy ed.
Urgency: “PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN” This is the International Urgency
Signal and is used when a vessel or person is in some jeopardy but is not
conside red to be in grave and immine nt danger.
Medical emergency: “PAN-PAN MEDICO, PAN-PAN MEDICO, PAN-PAN
MEDICO” (Pronounced med-ick-o h). This is an International Urgency Signal
that should be used when medical advice is needed.
Safety: “SECURITE, SECURITE, SECURITE” (Pronounced Say-cure-it-tay).
This is an International Safety Signal and is a message about some aspect of
navigational safety or a weathe r warning.
How to issue an emergency me ssage
Select Channel 16 and press transmit button on handset
Say slowly and clearly ‘MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, CALLING ALL STATIONS
This is…. (vessel name)….’ and repeat vessel name 3 times
Give position – vessel’s position in degrees of latitude and longitude or
nautical miles from, and bearing to, a navigational lan dm ark
Describe emergency – list the problem, the type of assistance needed;
number of passengers aboard (boat length, hull color and type is also useful)
Wait 1 minute for a response, repeat message
ALTERNAT IV E L Y: Dial either 767(sos) or 999 from any BVI cell phone
or call 494- HELP (4357)
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.
• Check the battery levels and make note of them before charging.
• Run the engine at 1400rpms or more for 1-1 1/2hrs.
• Shut the motor off.
• Wait 15 minu tes befo re ch ecking th e bat tery levels, (dir ectly a fter tur ning
off the motor they will remain in an excited state for about 10 minutes).
Shore power:
Engage the two shore power breakers above the 12v panel. Ensure the
battery charger button on the link 2000 panel is illuminated and that the
110v battery charging an d inverter breakers are also on.
Generator:
Switch the two breakers at the navigation station from shore power to
generator power. Ensure the battery charger button on the link 2000 panel
is illuminated and that the 110v battery charging and inverter breakers are
also on.
11. Anchoring & the windlass
Setting you r 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 t he d inghy p ainter close t o the bo at a t the bow or amid ships to avoid
wrapping it around the prop.
Location:
• Choose a clear area to anchor in, normally in 12 to 25 feet. A white
bottom is s and and perfect for anchoring. A brown or green bot tom will be
grass, rock or co ral. Only anchor in sand.
• Make sure that you are not on a lee shore; i.e. that the land mass is
protecting you from the elements and that you ar e not being pushed onto
the shore. A lee shore is the most dangerous place to anchor your
yacht.
Action:
• Manually lift the anchor over the bow roller and feed the chain so the
anchor is j ust abov e the wat er surface.
• Use the elements; approach from down wind or current, whichever
prevails.
• On ce the yacht is stationary use the electric windlass to drop the anchor.
The elements will push you back and away from the anchor.
• Minimum scop e is 5:1. In heavy weather you may want to increase that,
always ensuring your swing area is clear of any obst acles.
• Engage reverse, slow ly building up to 1500 rpm to really drive your hook
into the sand.
• Once set, put the engine in neutral and allow the yacht to settle, take
transits around the bay to ensure you are not dragging, it is always
advisable to snorkel the anchor and ensure it is bedded in correctly and
not just lying on its side.
Attaching the snubbing line:
• Once you ar e happy that the anchor is set you must attach the snubbing
line. The snubbing line protects the windla ss and it is impor tant that you
attach the snubber every time you set the anchor.
• Attach the hook around the chain link (the hook is too big to go though
the link) and cleat off the bitter end of the lin e to a bow cleat. Pay out
enough chain so that the snubbing line becomes taut.
• If the hook fa lls of the chain it means that there is not enough tension on
the line. In this case re-attach the hook and pay out more chain until the
line is once again taut.
Setting a secondary anchor :
If a second anchor is required, e.g. you are anchoring in a mooring field a nd
need to control your swing room, deploy the pri m ary as above and att ac h the
secondary at the bow. Drive the boat forward at a 45 degree angle to the
primary. Once in line with the primary deploy the secondary and allow the
elements to push you back. Increase astern to 1500 rpm to drive in the
secondary. Snorkel over the anchor to ensure a good hold.
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 no
power, y o u can operate the windlas s manually.
To drop the anchor, insert your windlass handle into the central opening on
top of the windlass. Turn the windlass handle so that the hold on the chain
loosens and pull the break away f rom the w indlass .
Your anchor is n o w ready to drop.
Remove the safety line or safety pin, and push the anchor over the bow,
keeping hands and feet clear. Control the rate the chain pays out by
tightening or loosening the windlass with the handle.
When you have paid out sufficient chain, between 5 to 8 times the water
depth, tighten the windlass completely to stop more chain from falling.
Increase revs to 1500 rpm to set the anchor. If you drag, pay out more
chain, and re-try 1500 rpm in reverse. When the anchor is set, fit the
snubbing line then release more chain on the gypsy so that the load is taken
up on the snubbing line.
To manually haul the anchor back up place your windlass handle in the outer
opening and turn in the opposite direction. Apply the brake against the
windlass.
12. Picking up a mooring buoy
• Ensur e 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 prev ails.
• H ave a crew member on the bow to pick up the mooring pennant with the
boat hook.
• The bowm an will direct the helmsman to the mooring, using the alread y
established non verbal communication system. Once at the mooring,
inspect the buoy and pennant for any signs of wear and tear; if you are
unsure about a mooring buoy’s integrity, choose another location to moor
up.
• The bowm an should ready a line to a bow cleat to slip thro ugh the eye of
the mooring pennant. This line is then shortened and brought back to the
same cleat.
• Once set your mooring buoy will be attached either on the port or
starboard cleat and the yacht will be head to wind. Remember to
centralize the wheel and lock in place to avoid the yacht sailing around
the buoy.
• Next attac h a second back up line to the mooring. Attach a line from the
oppo site bow cleat an d if pos sible atta ch it d irectly to the mo oring b uoy.
It is always easier to do this from the dinghy. Do not try to make the lines
of equal length, the first line should be taking all the wei ght of the boat.
• To depart, release the back up line first. Slowly motor the boat forward
to create slack, release the line from the cleat and allow the pennant to
slip fr om the line in to the wa ter. Fall ba ck with the w ind or current, and
be careful not to foul your prop on the pennant.
• Remember to tie your dinghy away from the stern whenever you
are maneuvering in close quarters.
13. Bilge pumps
Your yacht is equipped with an automatic and a manual bilge pump. The
primary electric pump is operated by a switch on the 12v panel which should
be left in the ‘auto’ positio n as the p ump is op erat ed b y a floa t swit ch w hich
will automatically operate the pump when there is water in the bilge. If the
float s w it ch f a ils to function flick the switch to ‘on’. The manual bi lge pum p is
operated from the cockpit and is located in front of the starboard he lm.
14. Fresh water system
Bella Corsa 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. Please ensure tha t the correc t fillers are used , NOT the
refills labeled waste or diesel.
To use the fresh water system, turn on the fresh water breaker on the 12v
panel and open a faucet. When the tank runs out of wa ter the pump will run
at high speed, the faucet will start to cough air. As soon as you hear the
pump running continuously, check to see if anyone is using water. If not,
switch off the pump immediately to prevent the pump from drawing more air
into the system or the pump overheating, and proceed as follows:
• Switch off pump
• L ocate the cha nge over valves b ehind the starboard saloon seating. The
open va lve w ill ha ve its ‘fla t’ end s in line wi th th e pip e. Tu rn t he valve 90
degrees to close the tank and open the other tank.
• Switch on the fresh water pump
• Open cold water faucet at galley and purge system of air, approx 45
second.
• Turn off faucet, pump will continue to run until adequate pressure has
built up to operate pressure switch to cut the pump out.
• If pump does not cut out, it may be necessary to repeat the purging
process and open other faucets
• If you have any problems, call Ho rizon

15. Heads
• Nothing is to b e 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 th e
bottom switch.
• To rinse out the bowl and rinse through the lines press the top button.
This draws water into the bowl and through the lines. Make sure that the
bowl and the lines are rinsed clean.
• To empty the bowl press the right side of the bottom switch until all the
water ha s d isappeared from the bowl and lines.
• Always leave the bowl empty of water in between uses.
• Wherever possible please use the heads ashore as this keeps our waters
nice and clean.
• Blocked heads will be cleared at a cost to you of $120.00 sewage
fee, plus a t ech nic i an’ s fee of $60 per hour,
plus the call out fee.

16. Showers
Toggle switch
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 o r d er to use the sh ower s, t he fresh -water pump must be activated on the
12v panel. The shower drains in the heads are also operated via switches on
the 12v panel.
The transom shower is located on the transom behind the port helm. To
operate the transom shower the fresh water pump must be activated on the
12v panel. There is also a toggle switch located next to the shower which
control s the flow and temperature of the water. To switch t he water on or off
move the sw itch up and dow n, to chang e the temper ature m ove left to right.
Finally, press down on the small button located on top of the shower head to
release the water from the hose.
Shower hea d
17. Ref rigeration
The system on this boat is an upgraded 12v refrigerator. This system is
designed to run 24hrs a day if you w ish. To ensure th at it does not f ail keep
your batteries charged. If the level goes below 12.2v the fridge will
automatically cut out. Refer to s ection 6 for instructions on how to charge
your batteries. If you get excessive ice on your cooler plate do not chip
away at the ice. If something is frozen to the cooler plate do not force it
away. Use warm water if you need to melt the ice.
The thermostat is located in each top loading unit; it is a bla ck dial runnin g
from 1-7 with 7 being the coolest setting. If necessary you can turn the
system down or off if you wish. If it is n ot c old eno ugh augm ent the system
with ice. We are in the tropics so please note that fruit, vegetables and other
fresh produce may not last as long as you expect. There is a toggle sw itch in
the freezer (left unit) make sure that toggle switch is kept to the left.
Ask one of our staff for a deck cooler if you would like one for storing your
drinks. It will keep the drinks cold and help maintain the temper ature in t he
fridge, as people will not be going in it every 5 minutes for a drink.
There is no electric drain for the fridge. Water runs out through gravity.
18. Propane and stove
The propan e tank locker i s locate d 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. To light, turn the knob you want 90
degrees anticlockwise, push the knob in and
light the burner using the automatic ignition.
• Hold the knob in for 10-15 seconds, then
release. M a ke s ur e th at the f lam e g o es a ll the
way around. Reduce any wind that may
hinder this.
• If you cannot get it to light, check the valve
on top of the connected tank is open.
• When you have finished using the burners, or
the stove, switch off the solenoid on the 12v
panel before you turn off the knob on the
stove. This will burn the gas out of the lines
and you can test whether the solenoid is
working. If the burner remains lit after
switching the solenoid off you must manually close off the tank in the
cockpit.
The 12v solenoid system is USCG app roved device. Y ou do not need to shut
any manual valves unless you wish (or unless the solenoid stops working, as
indicated above).
All of our yachts are fitted with propane detectors. The propane ‘sniffer’ has
been pla ced in th e bilg e (p ro pane is hea vier tha n air and s o will s ink in to th e
bilge). The detectors are sensitive to several types of gas and will trigger the
alarm. The alarm can also be triggered if there is mois ture in the bilg e. If
the alarm sounds it does not necessarily mean that the propane system is
leaking, so don’t panic!!
In the event that the alarm goes off follow these steps:
• Close the valve on the propane tank.
• Check the stove and surrounding area for propane smell .
• If detected, open up the bilges and hatches. Point the boat downwind
and use th e manual bilge pump to pump out the bilges .
Under no circumstances should you use the electrical bilge pumps or
any other electrical system if you suspect a gas leak.
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
• Make sure someone is always tending the BBQ when hot
• Call us if you have too much food
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.
• Never smoke below decks.
• Never smoke when changing propane tanks.
• Safely store any flammable liquids (for example charcoal lighter fuel).
• Keep matches away from children.
Engine compartment f ire:
In the event of a fire in the engine compartment use
the fire extinguisher positioned closest to the
companionway hatch steps and position the mouth
of the extinguisher to the fire hole.
• Pull the red key out
• Squeeze the handles together until all the
contents of the extinguisher have been
discharged.
• Do not open th e eng ine co m pa rt m ent even if you
think the fire has been extinguished, dying
embers ca n ea sily b e r e-ignited by a fresh supply
of oxygen (air).
Ope n fire:
• Pull out the yellow safety tab.
• Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire and
press down on the red button to discharge
contents.
• Generously cover the base of the fire and
surrounding area to ensure the fire is under control
and cannot spread. Continue discharging
extinguisher until the fire is out.
Galley fire:
• Take the fire blanket out of its
container. Read the instructions for use carefully.
• Ensure hands and limbs are protected from the fire by
the blanket.
• Carefully lay the blanket over the fire, laying the
blanket away from you and keeping yourself protected
at all times from the flames.
• Once in plac e l ea ve th e blanket unt il all heat ha s g o ne
from the s cene of the fire, this way you c an be sure
that the fire has definitely gone out and will not reignite.
21. Dinghy & Outboa rd
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 lon g line whi le sailin g in open water, always tow with the
engine tilted forward as it gives you an extra half knot and prevents
unnecessary damage.
• If conditions are very rough, the outboard needs to be mounted on the
push-pit.
• When going ashore for an evenings entertainment allocate a dinghy
captain, someone who will bring the whole crew back to the boat safely,
allowing the rest of the crew to enjoy various local cocktails and
concoctions.
• To s tart the engine, lower the outboard into the water using the lever on
the starboard side of the engine. The lever position corresponds to the
motor position, up and fwd for towing and back and down for driving.
Check you are in neutral and the safety cord is in place. For starting an
engine that has been at rest for 3 or more hrs use the choke. Pull the
choke out, and set a few revs with the throttle. Do not twist the throttle
trying to prim e the eng ine. You will only flo od it . Face the e ngine a nd pull
the start cord and push the choke back in as soon as it runs. If it runs for a
second but cuts out, try again without the choke.
• To stop the engine, press the button on to p of the kill cord, or pull the kill
cord out.
• Keep the kill cord with you to prevent anyone from borrowing it. You have
been provided with a dinghy lock and cable. Use them.
• Do not dr ag the dinghy onto a beach; anchor it off or put it on a dock with
a stern anchor to prevent damage from going under or hitting the dock.
• Do not speed in and around other yachts, speeding fines have been
introduced.
• At night an all ro und white light must be displayed along with red & green
side lights, and it is always a good idea to have a flashlight with you, to
show the way, and warn other vessels of your presen ce.
• Wear the life preservers provided in the cockpit lockers when in the dinghy.
• Oil to gas ratio: 3oz per 1gallon
