Fire–TherearethreeABCratedfireextinguishersonboard.Theyarelocated:
(a)Inthecupboardbyyourrightfootifyouarestandingatthestove
(b)starboardcabinlocker,insidedooronaftwall
(c)portcabinlocker,insidedooronaftwall
AllareABCfireextinguishers.Ifyouhaveafireatthestoveturnoffthegassolenoidswitchattheelectrical
panel.
HittingaLogorRunningAground–Incaseofaloghitorrunningaground,immediatelycheckforleaksinthe
bilgeandthencheckforcracksintheforeandaftsectionsofthebilgewherethekeelattachestothehull.Also
checkallkeelbolts.OnceyouaresurenowaterisenteringthehullcontactSanJuanSailingat800‐677‐7245
andproceedtothenearestharborandhaveaprofessionaldivercheckthehull,keel,prop,andrudderbefore
proceeding.
Leaks–Makesurethebilgepumpsarerunning.Thendeterminethesourceofthewater,checkthepropshaft
firstandthenthethrough‐hulls.Youcangettotheshaftsealundertheport‐sidebunk,justaftofthemotor.If
youseewaterflowingatthebackoftheengine,thesealisbroken.Thereisadiagramshowingthelocationof
thethroughhullsinthenotebook.Getthecrewondeckandintolifejackets.Therearewoodplugswiredto
eachofthethroughhulls.
Therearetwobilgepumps.Themanualbilgepumpislocatedontheportsideofthecockpit,justbehindthe
steeringwheel.Themanualbilgepumphandleisinundertheseatlidintheportaftcockpit(propane)locker.
Theelectricbilgepumphasanautomaticfloatswitchesbuttheswitchontheelectricalpanelcanbeusedto
powerthemainpumpmanually(thisbreakerisnormallyoff).Thefloatswitchesandpumpintakesarelocated
underthesalonsoleabout2feetaftofthemastcompressionpost.
SteeringFailure–Ifthesteeringsystemfailsthereisanemergencytillerlocatedinsidetheportcockpitswim‐
steplockeratthestern.Itfitsonrudderpostwhichisaccessedthroughtheoneoftwocapsinthehelmfloor.
Thecapscanberemovedwithawinchhandle.Youwillwanttoreducesailorpowerwhenusingthistillersince
therudderislargeandthetillerissmall.
SecondaryAnchor–Locatedinthestarboardaftcockpitlocker,underthesolebythestarboardhelm,isa
completesecondaryanchorsetupwith60’ofchainand140’of3strandnylonrodeattachedtoa21lbFortress
Anchor.Itisnecessarytolowertheswimplatformtoaccessit.
EmergencyEquipment–Flares,air,andmanualhorns,etc.areintheportsidecockpitlocker.
CrewOverboard–ThrowaTypeIVPFDorcockpitcushiontothepersoninthewaterfirst.Second,hittheMOB
buttononthechartplottersoyouwillknowwheretheyare.Thenuseoneoftheproceduresdiscussedinthe

3. NUANCESOFJUSTBREEZE
MaxProp –TherearetwomainadvantagestothefeatheringMaxProp;thefirstisspeed.Inlightwindsshewill
sailuptohalfaknotfasterwiththepropfeathered.Thesecondadvantageshowsupwhenyouarebackingup
underpower.Whenyouputthetransmissioninreverseyouwillnoticethatsherespondsfasterthanaboat
withafixedprop.
TwinRudders‐Twinrudderboatsbehavesignificantlydifferentlyfromsingle‐rudderboatswhenmaneuvering
under engine .Itcantakesomepracticetogetusedtoit.Themainreasonforthedifferenceisthattherudders
arenotin‐linebehindtheprop,sorevvingthe engine whentheboatisstoppeddoesnotestablishflowonthe
ruddersuntiltheboatstartsmoving.
Theeffectisa"lag"betweenrevvingtheengineandfeelingtheeffectofthewashontherudders.Thislagcan
bedisconcertingattimes(trulynothinghappenstothe steering forafewsecondsasyourevtheengine).In
practice,thismeansyoushouldnotstopduringtheapproachbecausewithoutmotionyou'lllose steering 
control,anditwilltakemoretimetogainitbackthaninasingle‐rudderboat.Tocorrectforthis,youneedto
approachalittle“livelier”thanonasingle‐rudderboat,getfullyalignedwhileinmotion,entertheslip,andonly
atthelastmomenthardreversetostoptheboat.
Bow Thruster - TheBowThrusteristheretohelpinlow‐speedmaneuvering
situations.Theenginemustberunningbeforethebowthrustercanbe
started/engaged.
Pressboth“ONbuttons”togethertoenablethebowthruster.TheThruster
readylightwillgosolidgreentoindicateit’sdeployed/lowered.
Thethrusterwilltimeoutandpower‐downinroughly5minutesif
unused,thiscanbeanissuewhencomingintodock
TurningofftheenginebeforethethrusterhasbeenpoweredOFFwillresultin
stayinginthelowered/deployedposition(asseeninthephoto).It’sbestto
powerOFFthethrusterbeforetheengine,butifthishappens,starttheengineagainanditwillresettoclosed.
DeckFuelFillCap‐TheFuelFillCapislocatedontheporthelmcockpitsole,
nearthescupper,whichisalowpointdesignedtodrainwaterfromthedeck
andthecockpit.Assuch,standingwatermightbepresentwhenopeningthe
capandit’snotagoodideatoallowwaterintothedieselfuel.It’stherefore
importanttoboth:
‐Sponge‐drytheareapriortoopening.AFUELINGUSEspongeisinthe
portcockpitlocker,forthispurpose.
‐Ensurethecapisputbackonniceandsnug(pleaseinspectthesealat
thistimeforanyvisibledamagewhichmightpreventawater‐tightseal)

4. ANCHORSANDWINDLASS
JustBreezeisequippedwithtwoanchors,oneforward(44lbDeltawith300feetof5/16”HightTestchain)and
aFortressinthestarboardstern(liferaft)lockeralongwith50’ofchainand150’ofwarp.
Theprimarychainismarkedevery25feetandtherearetwomarksinarowat100and200ft.

Thereisachaincounteratthestarboardhelmwhichalsoprovidescontrolofthewindlass.Weavoidbringing
theanchorinfromthehelmposition,sincethechainwillpileupandthewindlasswilljam.Loweringthe
anchoroutusingthehelmcontrollercanbedonealthoughitisnotthepreferredmethodbecausetheanchor
wouldstillneedtobereleasedandloweredintothewaterbyhandfirst.
Thescopenormallyusedintheislandsis4to1,not7to1(unlessconditionscallforit,i.e.,sustainedwindsover
25knots).Mostoftheanchoragesarewellprotectedandpopular,soyouwilllikelyhavesomeoneanchored
nearby.Afteryouhavepaidoutthesuitableamountofchain,1‐2minutesofIDLEreversesetstheanchor
Hereisaneasyformulaforhowmuchchainyouneedout;addthewaterdepthonsounder,plusany
tideincreaseexpectedduringthenight,plus5’(toaccountforthedistancefromsoundertorolleron
bow)andtakethattotalandmultiplyby4
(typicalexamplewouldbe25’ofwater+6’oftideincrease+5’=36’x4=144’).

Theelectricanchorwindlassreceivespowerfromthehousebattery.
Thecircuitbreakerforthewindlassislocatedbehindthecompanionway
stepsintheportquarterberth.
Pleasenotethewindlasswillrunwithouttheenginerunning,butasthat
candrainthestartbatteryquickly,wealwayshavetheenginerunning
whenusingthewindlass.
Theremotecontrollerforthewindlassissecuredinsidetheanchorlocker.
Besuretotakethetensionoffthewindlassbyattachingthesnubbertothe
