10.2. Emergency tiller
- The Dufour 40
Dufour 40 is equipped with an emergency tiller that must be kept readily
accessible, we advise you to stow it in a cockpit locker near the tiller deck plate.
- It is only designed for sailing at reduced speed in the event of damage to the helm.
To use it:
- Unscrew the tiller deck plate cover located in the cockpit floor,
- Fit the tiller onto the head of the rudder stock.
11. SAILING
- In all situations, suit the speed of your boat to the surrounding conditions and always
maintain a safety margin. Pay particular attention to:
The state of the sea, currents, the strength of the wind.
Other boat movements
Manœuvres in port
When passing through mooring areas.
- Obey the rules of priority as defined in the rules of the road and imposed by the
COLREG
- Ensure that you always leave enough room for stopping or manœuvring if necessary to
avoid a collision
- Respect speed limit zones
- Out of courtesy and for the safety of other boats, take care not to create a large wash
near other boats
- You must fit your boat with grab lines. Fixing points are provided on the deck. Refer to
your boat's deck fittings drawings.
- The stability of your boat was designed taking into account the shipyard catalogue
options. Any alteration to on-board weight distribution (for example: adding a radar,
changing the engine, etc...) can affect the stability, trim and performance of your boat.
- Towing a boat causes a significant extra strain that will have an unfavourable effect on
the stability of your boat.
- Never:
Use the boom to lift heavy weights.
