CAUTION

The removable awnings and their support poles must always be dismantled and stored in the appropriate places before starting navigation. When the poles are not in use, they should be stored in the appropriate places. The awnings should only be installed when the yacht is at a standstill and the weather conditions are favourable. Do not leave the awnings open in case of heavy rain. Not leave the awnings installed unattended. Do not let them stagnate the water on the curtain fabric. When not using the awnings keep the holes to engage the poles closed with the appropriate lids.

The access to the yacht from shore is enabled by a gangway located on the starboard side and stowed under the steps.


CAUTION

Always use the gangway to board the yacht; any other access system is potentially dangerous.

From the sea level it is instead possible to climb on board by means of the swim ladder located starboard of the stern platform, from which you can reach the deck through the two lateral ladders.
On the aft transom is the garage hatch, the garage can stow inside a tender.
The garage hatch can be activated through a switch located in the stern cockpit starboard.

DANGER

Never stay on the stern platform during navigation, because this is not equipped with protection rails preventing a possible fall at sea.

DANGER

Never start navigation with gate, swim ladder, gangway and garage hatch not correctly retracted or closed.

DANGER

The garage hatch must always be closed during navigation, it can stay open only with yacht stationary and with favourable sea weather conditions. Loads stowed inside the garage, in particular a possible tender, must be fastened with the utmost care. During navigation nobody should stay inside the garage.

DANGER

As the opening/closing of the garage hatch is performed by an electronic mechanisms, always check that no obstacles or persons are standing nearby before its activation, this operation has to be performed exclusively by skilled crew.

CAUTION

Periodically check that groundings are in order. Keep connections dry and protected with anti-corrosion grease.

CAUTION

In case a jet-ski is used, each passenger must wear a life jacket; the driver must also have a regular license and keep to the rules of the country where the jet-ski is driven.

DANGER

Stop using the on-board handlings if the sea-weather conditions (wind, currents, weather factors) could jeopardize the yacht’s stability.

On both sides of the yacht inside the mooring lockers are stowed the aft cleats and the warping winches, useful for shore approaching manoeuvres (see chapter “Auxiliary equipment on board”).

CAUTION

Do not use the warping winches as permanent mooring points.

Both walk-around, protected by external handrail, allow the access to the bow area.

WARNING

When leaning on the outside handrail, be careful so as to prevent any accidental fall at sea.

The bow skylight allows lighting and ventilating the VIP cabin and can also be used as an escape route in case of emergency.

CAUTION

At bow, an open skylight is cumbersome and creates an obstacle on the main deck.

DANGER

During navigation it is compulsory to unlock the safety retainer of the bow skylight so as to ensure a safe and quick escape.

DANGER

Pay particular attention to rotary pieces, keeping your feet, hands, clothing and hairs at due distance.
If you control the anchor winch from the helm station make sure that nobody is near it and that your visual field is free.

The anchoring area is located on the bow of the yacht.
The anchor winch is positioned centrally.

The two side cleats are also positioned on the bow.

Inside the bow peak there are also the remote control for the anchor winch, the hose connection for deck washdown, the solenoid valve controlling the anchor and chain washdown and a fresh water tap.

CAUTION

The protection railing is interrupted at bow for the anchor weighing.

WARNING

During navigation, the yacht’s normal movement in the water can cause the slipping or falling of persons with the potential hazard of serious injury or even death. Persons should remain seated in secure locations when the yacht is underway.

Helm station:

The main helm station is situated in the starboard side of the yacht.
Aside, is placed the ladder giving access to the main cabins and to the galley.

The main helm station, allows the use and oversight of the whole yacht steering instrumentation.

DANGER

The personnel operating the yacht during the various activities on board must not be under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or drugs.

CAUTION

For the correct use of the various devices installed in the main helm station, see the relevant instruction manuals.

WARNING

To prevent circumstances that could lead to property damage, injury or death from the improper use of the helm and its controls, the yacht’s owner/operator must ensure that inexperienced or unauthorized persons are never permitted to be at the helm station.
