2.1 Construction RECOMMENDATION

The hull of the PRESTIGE 500 is made of laminate layers of fibreglass and
polyester resin with sandwich and an integrated osmosis barrier coat.
Frames and structural counter mould bonded and laminated to the hull, inte-
grating supports for technical equipment: this is the way the structure of the
hull is.
The non structural areas maintain direct access to the hull.

The deck is made of laminate layers of fibreglass and polyester resin with

board companion ladder.
For the use and maintenance of the capstan, please refer to its instruction
guide. ANCHORING WITH THE ELECTRIC WINDLASS
- Have your boat head wind and sail slowly.
A second electric capstan can be chosen as an option. - Operate the windlass downwards.
- Veer away the chain while moving back slowly.
- When the anchor holds, make the wrap fast on the cleat.

RECOMMENDATION
2.14 Anchoring
The stem is fitted with a stainless steel fitting with a double roller which ena-
bles you to sail when the anchor is home.
The fore deck is fitted with an electric windlass. Once the boat is anchored, keep an eye on the swinging space.

Before you anchor, check the type of the sea bed, the depth of water and the
strength of the stream.
Slip the anchor at least 3 times the depth of water.
A quality anchoring depends on both the chain (its weight makes the boat
stabilize) and the anchor.

- Check the chain is properly set on the grab.
- Activate the windlass setting it to the ‘upward’ position. The boat may be fitted with an optional hydraulic gangway.
- Slowly go near the anchor using the engine (do not use the windlass force
to winch up the boat). After the domestic electrical system is switched on, the gangway can work.

RECOMMENDATION The gangway control is located in the cockpit aft port side.
A remote control is also available on board the boat.

If it does not work, check its circuit breaker located in the locker of the star-
board companion ladder.

- Check the position of the anchor on the stem fitting. The gangway can also be used as a crane in order to lift a tender up to the
transom or to take it down to the water from the transom.
Rinse the windlass and the ground tackle with fresh water each time you
come back.

For the maintenance of the windlass, please refer to its instruction guide.

For winter storage, release the windlass brake and make sure the grab turns
freely. For the use and maintenance of the hydraulic gangway, please refer to its
instruction guide.

2.16 Hydraulic platform


The aft swim platform can be equipped as an option with an hydraulic plat-
form.
Hydraulic struts enable you to let it down under the boat waterline.

After switching on the domestic 24 V circuit, use the platform control located
in the cubby hole on the starboard side of the cockpit.
The control makes it possible to lower, raise the platform into any position or
stop it in the chosen position. If it does not work, check its breaker located in the cubby hole in the compa-
nionway down to the aft cabin.

If all else fails, it is possible to raise the aft platform using the lever on its
hydraulic pump located in the service compartment located under the bed in
the skipper’s cabin.
In order to keep the platform in good working order, set the load as close as
possible to its centre. Nota : a specific gangway is provided for boats equipped with the optional
hydraulic platform. It supports a maximum weight of 150 Kg.
