About Lucy Jane Lucy Jane is a 2006 Bavaria Cruiser 37 that was built in Germany and added to the Windworks fleet in February of 2016. Lucy Jane has a roller furling mainsail, brand new 135% Genoa from Ballard Sails, full bimini connector to dodger, full hydronic heat, 3 staterooms and just received a new upgraded marine toilet. The first time you look at Lucy Jane you will notice her remarkable condition for an older old boat. She has been impeccably maintained, is in tiptop shape and is ready to provide a luxurious and trouble free cruising adventure. Two spacious aft cabins, a spacious forward cabin, a large salon with a Ushaped couch, and a spacious galley & cockpit offer comfortable accommodations for up to 6 people. Lucy Jane also has a hydronic heating system that gives individual control to the forward and aft cabins, as well as the head, and in the salon. Above deck, roller furling main and headsails make sailing a breeze in any conditions. We particularly like the folding wheel, walkthrough transom, spacious cockpit and full dodger. Lucy Jane also has a windlassanchor and draws only 6’ 2” of water for an added measure of comfort in the Islands. We’ve prepared these notes to bring you up to speed quickly and to make your cruise as troublefree and enjoyable as possible.

Critical Facts Depth of keel is 6 feet 3 inches. To avoid grounding you should maintain at least 8

feet of water below the boat. Boats are dive inspected after each charter and any damage will deducted from your deposit.

The mast height is approximately 58’ 6” from the water line.

Cruising speed is 6.5 knots at 2,200 rpm. Cruising speed is limited by the hull so

overrevving the engine will not result in more speed, will harm the engine and consume

more fuel.

Fuel capacity is 40 gallons. Lucy Jane burns approximately 1/2 gallon per hour at 2,200

rpm.

3


Anchor has 160 feet of ¼ inch chain with 50 feet of nylon rode. Chain marked at 25 foot

intervals with red paint.

Waste holding is 21 gallons and located behind the mirror in the head. If 4 people are

staying on the boat than the holding tank will need to be emptied approximately every

other day.

Fresh water holding capacity is 98 gallons. There is a 55 gallon tank below the port side

aft berth. There is a second 44 gallon tank below the forward cabin vberth. There is a

Yvalve below the port side aft berth.

Hot water heater capacity is 6 gallons.

Propane tank with manual shutoff valve is located in a locker under helmsman seat in

the cockpit. Solenoid switch is located above the navigation table.

Emergency tiller handle is located in starboard lazarette.

Bilge pumps Automatic pump operated from electrical panel. Manual pump is operated

with a handle in the cockpit next to the wheel.

Ship Rules As a guest onboard Lucy Jane, it is important to remember there are specific rules that must be adhered to at all times. These are necessary for the boat to function in a safe, secure and comfortable environment for both you and future guests.

No smoking anywhere on the boat inside or out. Please treat Lucy Jane with respect & care. Boats are easy to break and repairs

expensive.

Take special care to avoid scratching the bow when lowering the anchor. Gelcoat repairs

can run into the thousands of dollars and the boat is inspected after every charter. If

scratches are discovered your deposit may be backcharged.

Don’t flush anything down the toilet that has not been digested by your body first. This

includes toilette paper and feminine items.

Please don’t use chemicals or brushes on the dodger or dodger windows.

Please don’t use aerosol sunblock in the cabin or anywhere overspray may land on

wood, portholes or bimini windows. The residue contains alcohol which is a solvent and

has a tendency to fog clear plastic surfaces over time.

Please don’t boil crab or shrimp in the galley. Leaves a smell that is hard to remove.

No pets without prior approval of Windworks and the owner.

Safety

General Safety There are many ways that injuries can occur on a boat and it is impossible to detail them all. You should take particular note of the following:

Be careful when walking on decks when they get wet. They can be quite slippery.

Remember the rule of one hand for you and one for the boat. Particularly in rainy or

stormy weather, always have a firm grip on at least one handhold as you exit the cockpit

to go forward or when leaving the boat.

Do not attempt to jump to the dock when going into a slip. Jumping is dangerous and

can cause severe injuries.

Having guests aboard your boat can present special risks, especially if they are

unfamiliar with the boat and sailing and would not know what to do if an

emergency occurs. Brief guests and crew what to do in emergency situations and

how to stay safe while enjoying their time on the water.

Be careful when handling the lines, roller furling, winches, etc. Wear good sailing gloves,

know the proper ways of handling a winch to keep your fingers from getting caught in the

winch. Keep hands, arms and body parts free of any loops in lines when opening

clutches. Keep the deck lines orderly and properly stowed.

Use extreme caution when handling pots of boiling water or the barbecue.

Life Jackets We highly recommend wearing a PFD at all times while the boat is under way. When sailing in cold water, or even when only the air is cold, it's particularly critical to take special care because you may have only minutes to react and because hypothermia rapidly affects both judgment and physical capabilities. Life jackets are located in the starboard aft cabin hanging locker.

Fire Extinguishers There are 3 fire extinguishers on board:

5


1. Forward cabin in locker behind the door 2. Saloon under the navigation station seat 3. Cockpit in the port lazzerett

First Aid There is a first aid kit under the navigation table seat.

Emergency Calls Emergency calls can be made via the VHF or mobile phone. If in range Windworks sailing can be reached on channel 68. Windworks sailing can be reached via phone at (206) 7849386.

Float Plan Get in the habit of filing a Float Plan. It can assure quicker rescue in the event of a breakdown, stranding or weather delay. A float plan template can be found at http://www.uscg.mil/d17/staketch/docs/float_plan.pdf or you can request one from the Windworks staff.

Knowing Where You Are Safety also involves employing good navigation skills to avoid dangerous areas. Using a chartplotter and/or a paper chart is an easy way to know precisely where you are and where you’re headed at all times. It’s always a best practice to plan your route and include the effects of tides. For your convenience there is also a MapTech chartbook with danger area highlighted in red.

Throughhull Locations Lucy Jane has 6 throughhulls. Fore to aft:

VHF Radio Please familiarize yourself with the method for switching channels, and with the squelch and volume controls on your radio. Lucy Jane’s radio has a button that instantly selects Channel 16

Make sure the radio is switched on, volume quite high, power to high unless the station

you are calling is very close.

Squelch up until loud hissing, and then back a little until the noise just stops.

Select the channel for calling (Channel 16, unless specified otherwise).

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. Channel 16 is for hailing and distress only.

Electrical System

Shore Power Lucy Jane is equipped with a 30 amp 120 volt AC bus. The bus is connected to the three 120v receptacles noted below. The bus also connects to the battery charger keeping the house batteries charged while on the dock. Connecting to shore power:

1. Ensure the main AC breaker is off. 2. Locate the power box on the dock and ensure the breaker is turned off. 3. Locate the yellow power cable in the starboard lazarette in the cockpit. 4. Insert the square female end into the male power receptacle on starboard rail and lock in

place by clipping the receptacle cover over the top of the cable. 5. Run the cable along the deck. Be sure the cable is out of the way and will not fall in the

water. 6. Plug the male end of the cable into the dock power box. 7. Recheck the cord to verify it’s secure, not in the water and securely locked into the

receptacle on the rail. 8. Energize the dock power box breaker by turning the breaker on. 9. Energize Lucy Jane’s AC bus by turning the breaker labeled “Main” on. At this time you

can also turn the two “OUTLET” breakers. Disconnecting from shore power:

9


1. Turn off Lucy Jane’s AC breakers. 2. Turn off the breaker in the dock power box. 3. Disconnect the power cable from Lucy Jane but the leave the cable on the deck. 4. Disconnect the power cable from the dock box and pull back onto the boat. 5. Close Lucy Jane’s receptacle cover. 6. Coil the power cable while standing on the deck and return to starboard lazarette.

AC 120v Power Lucy Jane is equipped with three 120v plugs that are active only when plugged into shore power. The locations are:

Galley, above the stove Navigation table Head, top right inside the medicine cabinet

Both breakers on the AC panel marked “OUTLET” must be turned on for the receptacles to work.

DC 12v Power Everything on Lucy Jane with the exception of the battery charger and AC outlets is operated on DC power. The refrigerator operates on both AC and DC depending on the AC connection.

Battery Switches Lucy Jane has two battery switches that are located on the starboard cabin wall below the navigation table.

1. Starter battery 2. House batteries

Both switches should be turned “on” (handle pointing up) when the boat is in operation. CAUTION: Never turn a battery switch to “off” while the engine is running. This will blow the diodes on the alternator, and the batteries will no longer charge.

12


Engine

Prestart Checks Access to the engine is beneath the companionway steps and from the aft cabins. The companionway ladder is hinged at the top and can be lifted by grasping the grasping the bottom step and lifting the entire staircase upwards. Please check the following daily: Engine Oil The dipstick is easy to find and located on the left side of the engine when facing the engine from the companionway. The dipstick has an upper and a lower limit. When the oil level is at the lower limit, the engine is 1 quart low. The engine requires oil specially formulated for diesel engines. Use the onboard spare oil. Coolant Level Check coolant level in expansion tank located on the port side of engine room bulkhead. IMPORTANT: Do not open if engine is hot! Raw Water Strainer The raw water strainer is located on the left side wall of the engine compartment and has a clear plastic lid. Vbelt To check for alternator Vbelt tightness with the engine off press down on the middle of the belt with your finger. With proper tension, the Vbelt should deflect approximately 1/3 of an inch. Please contact Windworks if the tension does not seem correct.

Engine Warnings If at any time any of the ignition panel lights illuminate or an alarm sounds immediately check to see if water is gurgling out of the exhaust. SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IMMEDIATELY. Please do not restart unless you have diagnosed and corrected the problem and called Windworks.

Engine Operation Ensure all daily engine checks have been performed prior to starting the engine. Starting the engine:

1. Ensure the throttle lever is in neutral 2. Press and hold the “Glow plug” for 30 seconds 3. Press the ignition button

13


Stopping the engine: 1. Ensure the throttle lever is in neutral 2. Allow the engine 5 minutes to cool down by idling around 1000 rpm 3. Press the “Stop” button

Forward: Push the throttle lever forward Reverse: Pull the throttle lever backwards Note: When switching between forward and reverse please pause and allow the transmission time to stop spinning.

Fueling Fuel fill fitting is located on the port stern rail. 37 gallon fuel tank is located under the starboard aft cabin berth. Engine burns roughly ½ gallon of diesel per hour at cruising speed (2,2002,400) rpms. Fuel tank gauge is located adjacent to the engine instrument control panel. Emergency fuel cutoff switch is located in starboard aft cabin. Engine takes diesel fuel only.

Note: If you overfill the fuel tank diesel will run out of the overflow and down the transom and into the water. This can subject you to a Coast Guard fine and stains the fiberglass. Please don’t overfill or topoff the tank.

Sails & Rigging Lucy Jane is 7/8 fractional rigged sloop with an inmast furling mainsail and a 135% genoa headsail. While roller sails are not the most performant they are extremely convenient because they are easy to deploy and infinitely reefable.

Mainsail To deploy:

1. Point the boat into the wind and maintain a knot or two of speed 2. Open the outhaul clutch 3. Open the inhaul and outhaul clutch 4. Slightly loosen the mainsheet and lock then mainsheet clutch 5. Pull the outhaul line while keeping some tension on the inhaul line to unfurl the sail 6. Unfurl the sail until the clew is even with the black line on the boom. You may need to

use the winch for the last 12 inches.

14


To furl: 1. Start engine 2. Put the boat on a slight (510 degrees) port tack 3. Center and slightly loosen the main 4. Loosen the boomvang 5. Open the outhaul clutch after taking turn around the winch 6. Pull the inhaul line while keeping the outhaul slightly taught 7. Close the outhaul clutch

Inmast Furling Mainsail Operating Hints Unfurling

Free both sides of the endless loop from the winch and ClamCleat. It will then slide on the Reefing Winch.

Pull out the sail with the outhaul line. Furling

The leech should be kept fairly tight when reefing or furling. Adjust the topping lift to achieve this, and the sail will form a good tight roll around the luff extrusion.

Use the winch to take up on the endless loop. Keep slight tension on the outhaul while doing this. This applies especially when the

wind is abaft the beam or in light air. Always lock the Reefing Winch when leaving the boat.

Reefing

Carefully slacken off the outhaul line Whilst continuing to ease off the outhaul, roll in the desired amount of sail. The leech should be kept fairly taught. Keep slight tension on the outhaul while doing

this. When working at the mast: activate the lock on the Reefing Winch (IN’) before reefing the sail.When the desired amount of sail is rolled in, use the outhaul to stretch the foot of the sail. When operating from the cockpit: make both ”sides” of the reefing line fast to prevent slip on the Reefing Winch.

Finally, tension the outhaul.

Headsail To deploy:

1. Point the boat into the wind and maintain a knot or two of speed 2. Open the furling line clutch 3. Cast off the windward jib sheet 4. Take 2 wraps on the leeward jib sheet around the winch 5. Pull the leeward jib sheet to unfurl the sail 6. When deployed take a 3rd wrap around the wench and tail

15


7. Fall off to leeward To furl:

1. Start engine 2. Tidy the headsail furling line to ensure it’s not tangled or knotted 3. Point the boat directly into the wind 4. Cast off the windward headsail sheet 5. Cast off the leeward headsail sheet while maintaining 1 wrap 6. Pull the headsail furling line until the headsail is completely furled and the headsail

sheets are wrapped around the headsail twice 7. Lock the headsail furler clutch

Reefing the Mainsail The best way to reef the main while underway is start close hauled and foot off the wind just slightly while easing the mainsheet. Leave the jib where it is and that will cause the main to backfill with wind—you want the main to luff, not flog. Now that pressure has been eased off the sail you are ready to take in as much sail area as you need. Remember to ease the boom vang because as the sail furls, it will get higher in the mast causing the boom to rise with it. If your boom vang is too tight you won’t be able to roll the sail in or out properly and may actually break the boom vang if too much pressure is applied. Also, keep a little tension on the outhaul as you furl to ensure that the sail rolls in smoothly, and again, watch the sail as it enters the mast. The mainsail can be furled by using the endless loop line in the cockpit and can also be furled using the reefing winch on the mast. To reef from the cockpit use the endless loop the reefing winch must be set to “Free”. To reef from the mast the reefing winch must be set to “In.” See illustrations below.

16


Anchoring Many charter guests like the convenience, security and comfort of tying to a mooring buoy or a dock but some of the best places to explore have neither and anchoring is your only option. Lucy Jane is equipped with a #33 selfresetting plow anchor with 160 feet of chain plus another 50 feet of nylon rode and Lewmar windlass with handheld remote.

17


Scope Typical scope in the Puget Sound and San Juan's is 4:1 which is 4 times as much chain as your maximum water depth. For example: If you are anchoring in 25 feet of water and you expect to rise to 30 feet at high tide than you would payout 120 feet of chain.

Anchoring Procedure

Deploying the anchor Find a good spot: A good anchorage offers protection from wind and waves, swinging room, and a quality bottom. Choosing an anchorage that's protected from waves is the best insurance against dragging, as the loads from a pitching bow increase the likelihood of dragging an anchor. Consider the radius of your anchor rode, plus boat length, when you calculate your swinging circle, allowing for changes in wind or current direction, and water depth due to tides. Make sure there are no boats, shoals, rocks, or other objects in that circle. Finally, make sure your anchor works for the particular bottom; the lightweight flukestyle anchor shown here works best in sand or mud; it wouldn't work well on a grassy, rocky, or hardclay bottom. Make a plan: Captain and crew must discuss approach, strategy and hand signals before entering the anchorage. Preparation:

1. Turn on the windlass breaker below the starboard settee in the salon and also the “WINDLASS” switch on the 12V panel.

2. Open and secure the bow anchor locker. 3. Disconnect snubber line from anchor. 4. Manually push anchor forward 6” to 8” so gravity is ready to take it down when the

windlass activated. 5. Stand by for the captain's orders.

Setting the anchor:

1. Captain positions the boat where the anchor is to be placed. 2. Captain communicates the amount of chain to be dropped. 3. Using the down button on the windlass remote the crew drops the anchor and signals

when it hits bottom. 4. Captain slowly backs down in reverse as crew pays out chain. 5. Crew signals when chain is at desired length. 6. Captain continues to slowly back down setting the anchor. 7. Once anchor appears to be holding, Captain reverses to 1200 rpm for 2030 seconds.

18


Final steps:

1. Crew attaches snubber line to anchor chain to prevent chain from pulling on windlass while at anchor.

2. Close and secure anchor locker lid. 3. Captain turns engine off. 4. Deactivate windlass breaker and “WINDLASS” switch on the 12V panel.

NOTE: Take special care to avoid scratching the bow. When lowering the anchor it will naturally swing like a pendulum when it drops off the roller and hit the bow. The anchor needs to be controlled while dropping off the roller. Gelcoat repairs can run into the thousands of dollars and the boat is inspected after every charter. If scratches are discovered your deposit may be backcharged.

Retrieving the anchor Make a plan: Captain and crew must discuss exit, strategy and hand signals before raising the anchor. Preparation:

1. Turn on the windlass breaker below the starboard settee in the salon and also the “WINDLASS” switch on the 12V panel.

2. Open and secure the bow anchor locker. 3. Disconnect snubber line from anchor chain. 4. Stand by for the captain's orders.

Retrieving the anchor:

1. After starting and warming up the engine the Captain signals the crew to begin bringing up the anchor chain using the “UP” button on the windlass control.

2. Captain puts vessel in forward at idle, slowly moving the boat forward as the crew retrieves the chain. The Captain should take special care to not run over the chain as it’s being pulled up.

3. Crew watches the anchor and signals the Captain as it breaks the surface of the water. 4. Captain stops the boat. 5. Crew slowly pulls in the rest of the chain while taking special care to not swing the

anchor into the bow of the boat. Final steps:

1. Crew attaches snubber line to anchor chain to secure anchor. 2. Close and secure anchor locker lid. Sometimes the anchor shank needs to slightly

repositioned to fully close the anchor locker door. 3. Deactivate windlass breaker and “WINDLASS” switch on the 12V panel.

19


Anchoring tips: Many anchorages in the Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands are protected from

winds they still have strong currents that can reverse with the tides and wind. This can cause your boat to shift directions and pull your anchor loose. For this reason we recommend setting an anchor alarm.

The Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands have a variety of bottom conditions. Lucy Jane is fitted with a plow type anchor that is suitable for most conditions but you should still take special precautions when anchoring in mud. Again, be proactive and use an anchor alarm so you’ll be alerted if your anchor drags.

Mooring Procedure

Securing a mooring Make a plan:

Captain and crew must discuss approach, strategy and hand signals before entering the anchorage.

Some moorings that are close to shore are intended for boats with a shallower draft and may not suitable for Lucy Jane.

Carefully check the depth on chartplotter and confirm with paper charts if necessary. Once you know the depth around the mooring you confirm tidal swings to ensure you will

have enough depth at low tide. Capture the mooring:

1. Crew prepares two dock lines. 2. Crew attaches the end of one of the lines to the bow cleat. 3. Captain approaches the mooring and brings it up side the boat at midships. 4. Crew lays on their stomach on the deck retrieves the loop on the mooring using the boat

hook. 5. While holding the loop with one hand they loop the bitter of the dock line through the

loop once and then again. 6. Crew brings bitter of dock line back to bow cleat and secures. 7. Crew ties a backup using the second line.

NOTE: Do not secure the mooring buoy with it pulled tightly to hull. As the boat moves the buoy will scratch and discolor the hull. Casting off a mooring:

1. Captain and crew must discuss exit, strategy and hand signals before casting off. 2. Start engine and hold in neutral. 3. Disconnect backup line and stow.

20


4. Disconnect bitter end of primary tie, release buoy and pull into boat without dropping line into the water.

5. Signal the Captain that the boat is free once the primary line has been disconnected and all line is fully in the boat.

Note: To prevent tangling the lines in the prop you should pay special attention to ensure all lines are brought into the boat BEFORE engaging the engine.

Docking

General Boat Systems

Dodger & Bimini Lucy Jane is equipped with a dodger, bimini and transparent bridge that give great protection if it’s raining or really windy. The dodger and bimini are permanently affixed to the boat and should not be removed or unsnapped. The transparent bridge is stored below and can be easily connected using it’s zippers and snaps. Please take special care to avoid scratching or creasing the bridge’s plastic windows. Take special care when accessing the traveler by zipping and unzipping the dodger’s front window.

Refrigeration The refrigerator must be turned on at the 12V electrical panel using the breaker marked “REFRIDG”. The thermostat located inside right side. This is a well‐insulated refrigerator and functions well when adjusted to level 5 on the dial. If turned all the way up then everything will eventually freeze. While at anchor it works best to only run it during the day. Turn it off after dinner to keep house battery charged and to prevent it from freezing.

Gas Stove & Oven Lucy Jane is equipped with a gimbaled two burner propane stove and oven. The propane tank is located in a cabinet on the side of the port settee. The tank has a pressure gauge and a manual shut off valve.

21


Prior to using the stove or oven ensure the valve on the tank is open and the pressure is reading at least 80 psi. Next, activate the solenoid switch on the side of the cabin and to right of the navigation table.

CAUTION: Never leave the boat unattended when stove is in use. Never use the stove to heat the cabin. Knobs:

Left most knob controls top left burner Middle knob controls top right burner Right most knob controls oven

Lighting the burners:

1. Ensure the knob is turned to “Off”. 2. Turn the knob on the burner 90 degrees counter clockwise, press and hold. 3. Light the burner using a candle lighter. 4. Continue to press the knob for 2030 seconds. 5. Release knob and burner should stay lit.

Lighting the oven:

1. Ensure the oven knob is turned to “Off”. 2. Turn the oven knob 90 degrees anticlockwise, press and hold. 3. Light the pilot in the bottom of the oven using a candle lighter. The pitot tube is a located

just inside the oven door at the bottom. 4. Continue to press the knob for 2030 seconds. 5. Release knob and burner should stay lit.

22


TURN OFF the propane tank valve and the solenoid switch on the 12V DC panel when stove is not in use.

Heater Lucy Jane is equipped with a hydronic cabin heating system. Hydronic heat works by using the diesel heater to heat the hot water heater. The heating system then circulates the hot water to heat exchangers located behind the cabin vents and fans blow the warm air into the cabin. Advantages of hydronic heating systems:

Hydronic systems create a gradual and subtle heating effect that very pleasantly heats the cabin.

Water heater stays hot when the system is running and will provide heat and hot water for the galley and shower without running the engine.

The cabin has three separate heating zones that can be individually adjusted. To operate the cabin heater: The heater thermostat is located in the left corner just above the navigation table.

To use the cabin heater:

Activate the switch on the thermostat by flipping it to “I” Turn the dial to desired temperature.

Lucy Jane is divided into three separate heating zones that can be individually controlled.

23


Main cabin: Temperature controlled by main thermostat in saloon. Vent below berths can also be manually closed.

Port and starboard aft berths: Temperature controlled by three position switch on left inside wall of portside aft cabin. Vent below berths can also be manually closed.

Forward cabin: Temperature controlled by three position switch in the forward cabin on the side of the hanging locker. Vent below berths can also be manually closed.

Note: If starting from cold it can take up to ½ hour to warm up the system and produce heat.

Shower The sink in the head has detachable hand wand that doubles as a sower. To use the shower:

1. Remove anything from the head that you don’t want to get wet. 2. Activate the breaker marked “SHOWER BLG” on the DC panel. 3. Ensure hot water is available. 4. Sit on the toilet with the seat down. 5. Use the hand wand from the sink 6. Press the black button mounted to the left and just below the sink to activate the shower

bildge.

Freshwater Pump Lucy Jane is equipped with two fresh water tanks that have a combined capacity of 98 gallons. The tanks are isolated with a Yvalve that is located under the port aft cabin berth. The fresh water pump is activated by the “WATER PR” breaker on the DC panel.

Hot Water Heater Lucy Jane is equipped with a 6 gallon hot water heater that can heated in one of two ways.

1. If Lucy Jane is on shore power you can activate the hot water heater breaker on the AC control panel.

2. Run the cabin heating. 3. Run the engine.

Bilge Pump Lucy Jane is equipped with an automatic bilge pump that is located under the saloon floor between the navigation table the galley sink. The pump is energized by the “BILDGE” breaker on the DC panel and will automatically activate if water enters the bildge. You should investigate if you hear the bildge running because it might indicate a leak.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors Lucy Jane is equipped with combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in each cabin and the galley. If you hear an alarm you should open the companionway and port holes so fresh air can enter the boat. After the boat is aired out your should investigate all possible sources of air contamination.

Dinghy Lucy Jane comes with a fourman dinghy that is equipped with a bridle and 50 foot painter line. The following tips will help you have a safe, hassle free trip:

When the motor is on but you are not actually motoring you should pull the dinghy closer to the boat so the painter line cannot foul the prop. This is especially important while in the marina because you may have to back up.

When motoring prevent the dinghy from fling with water by tying the dinghy off so it’s directly behind the boat and sufficient distance away that the wake of Lucy Jane or other waves are not spilling over the bow of the dingy.

When taking the dinghy ashore always secure it by tying the painter line around a tree or rock. This will prevent the dinghy from floating away if the tides rise.

Always wear life jackets. The temperature in waters of the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands can be as low as 45 degrees and a person can drown in as little as 30 seconds if they hit the water and suddenly lose their breath.

Barbeque Lucy Jane is equipped with a rail mounted Magma propane grill. The grill uses a separate regulator connects to a propane cylinder and inserts into a female connection on the right side. The regulator and propane tanks are stored in the starboard cockpit locker.

Electronics & Navigation Lucy Jane is equipped with a Raymarine chartplotter, Raymarine ST60 TriData (depth & wind speed) and a Raymarine ST4000 Autopilot. All instruments on the helm are powered by the

Chartplotter The Raymarine e7 Hybridtouch 7 has ultrabright LCD display with LED backlighting and HybridTouch controls. It’s loaded with charts for the Puget Sound, San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands and displays current position, depth and also controls the autopilot. The functionality is beyond the scope of this document so please refer to user manual for detailed descriptions of it’s features.

Depth, Wind and Speed Lucy Jane is equipped with a Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument package. Tridata provides accurate depth, wind, speed, trip and timer information. For more detailed information please see the Raymarine manual under the navigation table seat or download online. Depth & Speed Lucy Jane is equipped with a Raymarine TriData multifunction depth sounder, knotmeter and trip computer. The display can be located on the helm behind the wheel. Depth is measured from the waterline and Lucy Jane draws 6’ 3” of water. Depth sounders are not 100% accurate so pay special attention when you are in less than 15 feet of water. Please note depth sounders will give false readings in deep water. In the San Juans, 400’600’ are common depths in some channels and you may see false readings as the sensitivity on the transducer increases in an effort to give some reading, often from changes in water density, salinity, or underwater debris

26


Wind Lucy Jane is equipped with a Raymarine wind machine. The display can be located on the helm behind the wheel. The instrument shows True and Apparent wind along with several other functions. For more detailed information please see the Raymarine manual under the navigation table seat or download online.

Autopilot Lucy Jane is equipped with a Raymarine ST4000 autopilot. For more detailed information please see the Raymarine manual under the navigation table seat or download online. Engaging the autopilot:

1. Flip the autopilot clutch lever to physically bind the autopilot to the helm. The lever is black and can be accessed by reaching through the spokes of the wheel and flipping down.

2. Choose your heading. 3. Press the red “Auto” button on the control surface.

Disengaging the autopilot:

1. Press the red “Standby” button on the control surface. 2. Disengage the clutch lever.

Note: The autopilot can also be engaged and controlled by the chartplotter. It’s possible to set waypoints and create routes. Please see the chartplotter operating manual for detailed instructions.

Stereo Lucy Jane is equipped with a high power Sony stereo. The stereo is connected to 4 speakers 2 speakers in the saloon and 2 swivel mounted speakers in the cockpit. The system accepts Cd’s and also accepts an auxiliary ⅛” headphone jack so it can be plugged into most phones and mp3 players. To operate the stereo:

1. Turn the “Stereo” breaker on the DC panel to “On” 2. If you are using an external phone or mp4 player then connect the headphone output to

the “Aux” jack on the right front side of the unit. There is a spare cable on the nav table. 3. Press the “MODE” button on the left side of the unit to switch between CD and Aux

mode.

27


4. Adjust the volume using the knob. If you are using an external phone or mp3 player the volume is also dependant on the device’s volume setting. For best results set the volume on your device to the middle and use the dial on the stereo unit.

Internet Lucy Jane is not equipped with a wifi router. As a workaround you can enable a personal hotspot on your phone and connect your laptop top to it. If connecting while in the saloon the signal strength can sometimes be improved by placing your mobile phone up in the cockpit.

Dinghy Lucy Jane is equipped with a 4 person rigid inflatable dinghy and 3 hp Mercury outboard. The dinghy also has a pair of ores that can be used for short trips and in emergencies.

32


Towing is easiest when the dinghy is brought close to the boat about 4 or 5 feet off the stern. This lifts the bow, reduces drag, and lessens the chance of wrapping the painter (the line attached to the dinghy) around the propeller. Tie the dinghy painter off twice to ensure it doesn’t come loose, once at a port stern cleat then the bitter end to the stern rail using a bowline. Important things to know

The motor is available to qualified guests and access is provided at the sole discretion of Windworks.

Windworks does not generally have staff available to support the operation and use of the motor. It’s the sole responsibility of the guest to mount, start and fuel.

Replacement motors are approximately $1,200 and your deposit will be billed if the motor is lost or damaged.

Never tow the dinghy with the motor mounted on it. Please contact Windorks for the combination the the lock on the motor.

Mounting the motor on the dinghy The motor is mounted on the stern rail of Lucy Jane and weighs approximately 30lbs when full of fuel. Step 1: Secure the dinghy to the backstay rigging on stern using the yellow lines that are attached to the dinghy’s grab rail. This will stabilize the dinghy so you can stand in it while mounting the motor. See pictures below.

33


34


Step 2: Remove the motor from the stern rail and mount on the dinghy. This step is easiest with two strong people. One person stands on the transom with the motor and hands the motor down to the other person who is standing in the dinghy. Both people should be capable of lifting 3040 lbs and not have back issues.

35


36


Starting the motor The Mercury outboard is fairly new and is reliable but starting it can be finicky.

1. Using the lever on the side ensure the motor is in neutral. 2. Ensure the fuel switch is in the “on” position. 3. Open the white vent on top of the fuel fill cap.

Note: If you don’t open the vent on top of the fuel cap the motor will start and run for a brief time depending on the fuel level. If the tank is full the motor will run for around 20 seconds. If the tank is half full the motor will run for 5 minutes which is enough to get half to shore and have it stop.

37


4. Pull the choke to the open position.

5. Turn the throttle on the handle to approximately ¼. The handle has a mark that says

“Start” but we find the motor is easier to start with a little more throttle.

6. Pull the starter cord. Once the engine turns slowly close the choke.

The motor’s nuances:

38


The handle has a mark that says “Start” but we find the motor is easier to start with a little more throttle.

Sometimes the pull cord won't retract. You can usually get it to retract with a couple short pulls to reengage the recoil spring.

Sometimes when the motor fails to start it’s because it’s flooded. You can clear the motor by allowing it to sit or by shutting of the fuel and pulling the starter cord 68 times.

Import things to know about getting ashore:

The prop extends well below dinghy and will grind on the seabed well before the dingy is ground on the shore. You can prevent damage to the prop by putting the motor in neutral before the prop hits the seabed.

When coming ashore tilt the motor forward so the drive shaft does not drag on the seabed.

Ensure the painter and bridle are fully in the dinghy before engaging the prop. Don’t drag the dinghy ashore by the painter when people are in it. This scratches the

bottom of the dinghy and can pop the pontoons.
