5.4 SCUPPERS SYSTEM

The scupper system, by means of suitable holes and drainage channels, allows rainwater, seawater or other water that may fall onto the main deck to flow quickly off the yacht.
All waters collected by the scuppers are conveyed by means of manifold tubes, placed along the bulwarks.

The total or partial clogging of one or of more scuppers must absolutely be prevented, because it is a cause of flooding and consequent loss of stability by the yacht and its structures.

CAUTION

Always check the correct water flow towards the scuppers.
The partial or total clogging of one or more scuppers is a possible cause of damage for the yacht structure and of loss of stability.

CAUTION

Avoid that incorrectly stowed objects clog the scuppers.
