2.7 FORBIDDEN AREAS

On board the yacht some areas are “dangerous“, and need plenty of care, and possibly require wearing protective equipment, in order to safeguard the integrity of people on board.

DANGER

During navigation, the risks relating to any hazardous area increase significantly; we recommend scrupulously observing the safety rules indicated in this manual.

The areas are following:

Engine room: area with a high level of noise, presence of moving components, hazard of burns, hazard of stumbling and falling. The access to the engine room is only allowed to trained and expert crew, prepared for the risks and equipped with proper safety devices, if necessary;
Stern platform and bow area: outer area not protected by rails against falling into the sea. During navigation the access to this area is forbidden. Accessing and staying in this area is allowed only when the yacht is idle and with the engines shut OFF.

During navigation, passengers can stay in the cockpit, preferably remaining seated. When moving, passengers shall use the special handrails installed in the cockpit.
In case of fall overboard, following rescue devices can be used:

Life buoy;
Life vests;
Emergency boarding system.

The easiest way to climb on board is from the stern platform by means of the stainless steel swim ladder stowed inside the stern structure when not in use.
The following diagram marks out the dangerous areas, with different colours according to the risk level (yellow = dangerous area, red = extremely dangerous area), where utmost care must be paid.

DANGER

Be careful when the deck is slippery. Do not walk on the deck in case of bad weather, when the deck is wet, without shoes with rubber sole or when the yacht is moving.

NOTE

It is responsibility of the Captain to inform all persons on board about dangerous areas when they exist, possible areas temporarily forbidden when maintenance operations are being carried out, as well as about the correct behaviour to be adopted in the above-mentioned areas, also according to weather and sea conditions.

CAUTION

All the areas where there is polished fibreglass are no-step areas.
