PCYC’s Sélavy Capri 26
The Club Sail Boat, Sélavy, is free for members to use, and there are a lot more members sailing this great boat. All
you need to do to check out the boat is have basic boating and sailing skills and be checked out by a designated club
member. Give the front Desk a call for an appointment. This is a member maintained boat. Our members have been
donating equipment and their time keeping the boat and motor in ship shape condition. When you call to reserve the
boat, check to see if the boat has been used lately; if not, you may want to put aside enough time clean the boat before
use. If all the members just follow a few simple steps before and after use, everyone should enjoy their sail.
When you get to the boat:
Check the fuel level. Outboards tend to burn a lot of gas. You may motor more than you expect if the wind
turns light. A quarter of a tank should be enough gas for most trips in and out of the marina. If you are 5 miles
out, you’ll need more.
Check to see if all safety equipment and registration is aboard and in-date.
1- Fire Extinguisher
1- Horn
1- VHF Radio (mounted next to
power panel)
4- Life Jackets. If you need more
bring your own. Remember, all
children 12 and under must wear a
proper size Life Jacket all the time.
3-Flairs, in-date.
1- Anchor in Chain Locker on
bow.
Turn on main battery switch
under the steps.
Turn on VHF Radio and set to
channel 16.
Start the motor before setting up
the boat for sailing. If it doesn’t
start you may need to go to plan B
and do a Harbor sail.
Check the condition of the boat; if there is something wrong let the Front Desk know.
When you return to the dock, leave the boat in the condition that you would like to find it:
Check the fuel level. If it is less than a quarter of a tank, please fill the tank.
Replace all covers.
Coil all lines and hang them from the boom or wrap them around the winches.
Stow wench handle in cabin.
Turn OFF main battery switch.
Rinse off boat.
When you return the key, let the Front Desk know if something is wrong with the boat.
