San Juan Yachting TIVOLI Quick start guide

OWNER’S NOTES FOR
TIVOLI
2011 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409
3 Cabin / 2 Head Per ormance Cruiser

1
Welcome aboard Tivoli!
We searched far and wide for the perfect boat for cruising the Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands and beyond,
and finally found her in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Tivoli traveled fro the Caribbean to the United States
on her own botto , proving herself as a safe, ocean-going vessel. She is well-designed and well-outfitted for
cruising our local waters.
We purchased Tivoli, because she is configured perfectly for our growing fa ily, which includes two fast-
growing boys, 8 and 11 years old. Here is a quick rundown on why we chose her and why we believe you will
enjoy your ti e aboard as well:
Accommodations: There are three large cabins, each with a queen-sized berth. Each features generous
floor and locker space, nightstands and excellent headroo . There are two heads, including a large
shared head with separate shower off the salon and a private head in the forward stateroo .
Large cockpit: With dual wheels and a large center table, there’s plenty of space for everyone
onboard. The cockpit table has folding leafs, center ice bin with drain for cold drinks, and a ple cup
holders. A custo full-bea swi step and open transo allow easy access and safer dinghy entry.
Speed: Tivoli cruises at 8 knots under power and she sails like a drea .
Smooth and quiet: Tivoli is equipped with an efficient Yan ar diesel and Saildrive, providing quiet,
s ooth otoring when the air is light.
Ease of handling: Two can easily handle her and it’s possible to single-hand in a pinch thanks to
Ger an sheeting (all headsail and ainsail sheets are led aft to the hel s). The ainsail features
lazyjacks and a slippery new Tides track for dropping the sail quickly. Reefing is done fro the cockpit.
Wide uncluttered decks: All lines are led under a cowling between the ast and cockpit, eli inating
trip hazards and providing ore deck space to spread out and enjoy.
Bright and cheerful interior: Light Anigre wood, off-white leatherette upholstery and a ple windows,
both above and below the beltline, create a war living space below with a odern feel.
Excellent tankage: With 150 gallons of water and 50 gallons of fuel, Tivoli can leave the dock behind
and head out on an extended cruise.
100% LE lighting: LE lighting throughout provides bright light and ini al battery drain. Under-
furniture lighting in the ain salon creates a nice a bience when enjoying an evening a glass of wine
or watching a ovie at the end of a long su er day.
By chartering Tivoli for the 2016 season, you will enjoy many new features and e uipment, since she has
just undergone an out-of-the-water, ast-to-keel refit. New equip ent includes all-new Doyle Supercruise
sails, all-new running rigging, all-new Sunbrella canvas with ultra-clear Makralon glass, a new three-zone
diesel hydronic furnace that war s both the air and the floor as well, a new gour et Force 10 galley range
with broiler, all-new galley cookware and serving ware, a new inverter/charger, new house batteries, a new
entertain ent syste featuring a 28” wifi-enabled s art TV and Blu-ray player, a re ote HDMI input at the
navigation table for plugging in a laptop or other device into the TV, a new Pioneer touchscreen stereo with
wireless Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to strea usic or ake a hands-free call to friends and
fa ily fro the nav station, a new high-end ICOM VHF radio with re ote full-feature ic in the cockpit, color
HD radar, DSC and AIS. Tivoli also been fitted with a new Flexofold feathering propeller, which i proves
perfor ance under power and sail. The list goes on, but these are the highlights. Also new this year: We have
equipped our excellent AB alu inu -botto ed dinghy with a new Honda outboard.
Tivoli is new the San Juan Sailing fleet this year. We hope you will enjoy your ti e aboard as uch as we do
and consider Tivoli your ho e away fro ho e while sailing these beautiful waters.
We take great pride in Tivoli’s upkeep. In the interest of keeping her looking great and ensuring that the next
charter guests enjoy her, too, we have so e basic rules we would appreciate you follow. Tivoli is a pet-free,
smoke-free boat.
Listed below are so e tips on how to get the ost out of Tivoli and her equip ent. We sincerely hope you
have a great ti e. If you have questions or feedback before, during or after your charter, we would love to
connect. You can reach us at 206.391.3514.

1. Emergencies & Emergency/Safety Equipment
Fire – There are three ABC rated fire extinguishers on board. They are located (a) ain salon i ediately aft
of the navigation station (b) directly behind the door in the port side aft stateroo and (c) directly behind the
door in the starboard side aft stateroo . In addition, the starboard side aft stateroo features a fire
extinguisher port to the engine co part ent behind the door. All are ABC fire extinguishers which are
effective against electrical, grease, wood, and fuel fires. If you have a fire at the stove i ediately turn off
the gas solenoid switch, which is located on the face of the cabinetry below the sink.
Hitting a Rock Log or Running Aground – In case of striking a rock, log, or running aground, i ediately
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. Check all keel bolts. Also, inspect the saildrive for leaks. The saildrive is located directly
behind the engine and is visible by re oving the nightstand tops in either aft stateroo . 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, saildrive, prop, and rudder before proceeding on your vacation.
Leaks – First deter ine the source of the water, check the engine bay first (the saildrive leg is directly behind
the engine and is visible by re oving the nightstand countertops in either aft stateroo ) and then the
through-hulls. The saildrive has a double seal where it exits the hull – if the outer seal develops a leak, an
alar should sound at the engine panel, assu ing the engine is running. An alar should be taken seriously,
even if no leak is visible in the engine co part ent, as you have lost one of the two critical seals. There is a
diagra showing the location of the through hulls in the notebook. Also, be sure the bilge pu p is running.
Get the crew on deck and into life jackets. Call for help as needed (use a PAN PAN call if the situation does
not appear life threatening and a MAYDAY if it is). There are wood plugs taped in each area where there are
through hulls.
There are two bilge pu ps. The anual bilge pu p is located on the port side of the cockpit, just behind of
the steering wheel. The handle is under the outer hel seat next to the shore power connections. The
electric bilge pu p has an auto atic float switch but the switch on the electrical panel can be used to power
the main pump manually (this breaker is normally set to auto). The float switch and pu p intake is located
under the salon sole between the navigation and dinette tables, approxi ately 4 feet aft of the ast.
Steering Failure – If the steering syste fails there is an e ergency tiller in the port cockpit locker. It fits on
the rudder post, which is accessed through the round stainless steel cap in cockpit floor. The cap is
i ediately recognizable by the star-shaped receiver and is unscrewed using a winch handle. You will want
to reduce sail or power when using the tiller since the rudder is large and the tiller is s all.
Emergency/Safety Equipment – E ergency flares and air horns are located with the tools and spare parts
under the seat at the navigation station.
Crew Overboard – Throw a Type IV PFD or cockpit cushion to the person in the water first. Second, hit the
ob button on the chart plotter so you will know where they are. There are several procedures one can use
to get the boat back to the person in the water and San Juan sailing will discuss these in the skipper’s
eeting. However, they all include the use of the LifeSling to aid in getting the person back on board. We
keep the LifeSling ounted on the stern rail, port side, at all ti es. In addition, although we request that you
not sail or otor after dusk, a floating MOB light is located on the stern rail, port side. This light will aid in
locating your crew e ber in the water.

2. Anchors and Windlass
Tivoli is equipped with two anchors, one forward (44# Delta with 180’ of chain and 50 feet of rode) and one
spare in the port cockpit locker (also a 44# Delta with chain and rode). The pri ary chain is marked with
paint as follows:
0 through 100’ – No markings
100’ through 110’ – Yellow paint
110’ through 160’ – No markings
160’ through 165’ – Yellow paint
165’ through 180’ (the end of the chain) – Red paint
The above information is posted on bottom of the anchor locker hatch. There is no chain counter on Tivoli,
as anchoring safely re uires one person at the helm and another person at the bow. The Quick windlass on
Tivoli pays out chain at approximately 1 foot per second. This is helpful when determining how much chain
has been paid out, but this may vary with engine speed and amperage going to the windlass. Always rely on
your own observations.
The scope nor ally used in the islands is 4 to 1, definitely 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
so eone anchored nearby. Most coves are 20’- 40’ deep; so expect to pay out about 100’-180’ of chain.
After you have paid out the suitable a ount of chain, 1-2 inutes of idle reverse sets the anchor. Also, the
tides can change water depth up to 15 feet in our waters so be aware of where you are in the cycle when
choosing an anchorage and deciding how uch chain to put out. Here is an easy formula for how much
chain you need; 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 fro the dedicated start battery. The circuit breaker (i.e., the
“on” and “off” switch) for the windlass is located in the aft starboard stateroo on the sa e panel as the
battery switches. Please note the windlass will not run unless the engine is running. In addition, if the
engine has just been started it may be necessary to up the RPM’s a bit to get the windlass to work.
Basically, the system voltage needs to be higher for the windlass to work. This does not happen all the time
but is worth noting.
The up-down controller for the windlass is located in the forward locker to the left of the windlass. Be sure to
take the tension off of the windlass by attaching the snubber to the chain and a cleat (not the windlass), and
then running out ore chain until the chain on the dru is slack.
Detailed operating instructions are listed bellow:
Lowering the anchor:
a. Turn on the circuit breaker for the windlass (aft starboard stateroo on panel near floor).
b. Untie the line holding the anchor in place (this line doubles as the snubber).
To turn the breaker on, slide yellow switch to “I”.

6
c. Lower the anchor until the needed chain is paid out. The windlass pays out approxi ately one foot
of chain per second. You will notice a short section of black rope that is tied to the anchor. Please
us this to ease the anchor off the roller. Tivoli has a very plu b bow and a quickly dropping anchor
ay strike the boat and da age the hull.
d. Secure the chain with the snubber (rope with hook, which can be found in the anchor locker) and
run out enough chain to take the load off of the windlass. DO NOT LEAVE THE LOAD ON THE
DRUM.
e. Set the anchor by reversing the engine at 1100 RPM for about a inute.
f. Turn off the circuit breaker and turn on the anchor light if appropriate.
Raising the anchor:
a. Start the engine.
b. Turn on the circuit breaker for the windlass and, if needed, turn off the anchor light.
c. Take in enough chain to retrieve the snubber.
d. When retrieving the anchor, never use the windlass to pull the boat; instead, slowly power toward
the anchor while using the windlass (up button on the re ote control) to take up the slack. Also,
if the anchor is really stuck in the ud (you will hear the windlass slow under the load) stop the
windlass and drive the boat forward to free the anchor.
e. The inco ing chain will pile up against the aft end of the chain locker so the operator needs to
reach in and push the pile of chain forward every 20-30 feet of chain. Also be aware the lines used
to ark the chain length tends to catch in the outlet of the windlass and ay cause a ja . Just lift
up the chain and let it fall through or run the windlass back out for a second to clear.
f. Once the anchor is out of the water, please retrieve it by hand. Please do not pull the anchor up
onto the rollers using the power of the windlass. BE VERY CARFUL WHEN THE ANCHOR IS OUT OF
THE WATER, Tivoli HAS A PLUMB BOW AND IT IS EASY TO HIT THE BOW WITH THE ANCHOR.
g. Secure the anchor by hooking the snubber onto the chain and tying it to the windlass dru (the
chain over the dru should not be the only thing keeping the anchor onboard).
h. Switch the windlass breaker “off” to prevent draining the start battery and turn off the seawater
pu p on the ain panel.
Stern Ties: There are ti es when adding a
stern tie to shore will be handy, especially in
Desolation Sound. Tivoli has 600’ of line on
a spool for this purpose. It is stored in the
starboard lazarette. Due to the width of the
transo opening, we suggest extending the
boat hook and laying it across the lower
ounting point for the rear rails. Slide the
eye of the spool over the handle end of the
boat hook. This allows the line to be easily
deployed and recovered. The recovered line
is usually very wet, so we leave the spool
sitting on end in the walk-through for a
couple hours to dry before we put it away.
Please use the cockpit shower to rinse off the
line before leaving it to dry.
3. Barbecue
The stainless steel propane barbecue is ounted on the stern pulpit. There is a line plu bed fro the ain
propane tanks inside the propane locker to the BBQ. However, you will need to turn on the valve located
inside the propane locker (it’s near the floor of the propane locker and access requires te porarily lifting one
of the two tanks), as well as the solenoid switch, which is located on the face of the galley cabinet under the
sink. Be sure the BBQ controller is off when opening this valve or the tank valve; having it on will cause the
safety syste in the ain tank to engage and severely li it the flow to the BBQ. When done with the BBQ
turn off this valve; DO NOT RELY ON THE CONTROLLER AT THE BBQ AS THE ONLY SHUTOFF FOR THE
PROPANE.

Please do not leave the barbecue on to war up, or after you have finished cooking. Doing so will waste your
propane and will also discolor the stainless steel. The s all size of the barbecue and the thin stainless steel
eans it produces axi u heat al ost i ediately.
Tivoli is equipped with two propane tanks. A s all crescent wrench is stowed inside the propane locker. Note
that the tank fitting is reverse-threaded. Rotating clockwise will loosen the hose and counterclockwise will
tighten it to the tank.
4. Batteries & Charger/Inverter
Tivoli has 4 batteries on board, one for starting the engine and three to power the cabin accessories. We
have her wired for axi u convenience. These two battery syste s are separated fro each other so it
should be i possible to drain the start battery. The batteries are located under the forward portion of the
quarter berths, two on each side. The house battery bank consists of two “4D” batteries, plus one Group 27
battery. The starter bank consists of one Group 27 battery. There is one battery charger connected to a
battery isolator, which feeds each battery bank. The engine’s alternator will also charge the batteries while
you are away fro the dock. The inverter has been listed in this section for two reasons: first, it is also the
battery charger and second it can have a large i pact on the batteries when used excessively.
CAUTION: NEVER TURN A BATTERY SWITCH TO “OFF” WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING! THIS WILL BLOW THE
DIODES ON THE ALTERNATOR, AND YOUR BATTERIES WILL NO LONGER CHARGE.
Battery Monitor – Tivoli has a Xantrex Freedo HFS panel, which can be used to onitor the house
batteries (see picture below). The panel is located on the panel in the aft starboard stateroo with the
battery switches. When disconnected fro shore power and with the otor off, the voltage nor ally
starts at around 13 volts. It will then drop to between 12.3 and 12.5 volts and re ain there for quite a
while before dropping again. When it starts dropping this second ti e you have very little reserve left.
And it is time to recharge by either connecting to shore power OR starting the engine when the voltage
gets to 12.2 volts – PLEASE DO NOT RUN THE VOLTAGE BELOW 12.0 – DOING SO DAMAGES THE
BATTERIES. We reco end running the engine for two hours each orning and two hours each evening
to keep the batteries charged.
On shore power codes:
“Bul” – Initiating charging circuit. This is a te porary essage.
“AbS” – Absorbtion (charging).
“FUL” – Batteries at full charge (charging off).
Inverting power codes (shore power disconnected):
“12.5” – Current voltage reading, typically between 12 and 13.
“E01” – Low-voltage or high consu ption. Check for high loads.
“E05” – Low-voltage or high consu ption. Check for high loads.
The green power button works to turn the inverter on and off
while shore power is disconnected. Press the button once to
cycle on and off. The inverter has a power saving function, so
please leave the inverter on at all ti es. Note that holding the
power button in for several seconds takes you to a sub enu to
change the syste configuration. Please do not change any
settings, as this ay cause the inverter to alfunction and ay
da age the batteries. If you accidentally reach this enu, let the
panel sit for several seconds and it will revert back to nor al
operation.
The gray button allows you to cycle through voltage, a p draw
(consu ption) and output power.

8
Inverter/House Battery Charger – We have installed a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter so 110V
power can be used at any ti e. Be careful as it is easy to draw the batteries down. The inverter control is
on the sa e panel used to onitor battery voltage and is located on the panel in the aft starboard
stateroo with the battery switches. The power can be turned off using the green power button once for
about half a second. We reco end leaving the inverter/charger on at all ti es to ensure that the
syste charges when connected to shore power. Do not turn the inverter off if you are using the diesel
heater, as the circulation pu p runs off of the 110V AC outlet circuit breaker. The gray button cycles
through battery voltage, a perage and current readings.
There are two panels that provide voltage readings. The primary electrical panel offers battery
monitoring for both the house and starter banks. While disconnected from shore power, the inverter
panel will also display a voltage. We have found that the Jeanneau electrical panel occasionally flashes
low voltage warning messages on its LCD display, while the inverter is reading acceptable voltage
readings. Do not be alarmed if this occurs. Should a low-voltage warning message appear, do investigate
by confirming the voltage at the inverter panel. If there is no cause for concern, you can reset the
display by pressing the center gray button once.
A note about inverters. While rated at 2000 watts, please do not use the hot water heater or operate
high-powered electronics as these devices can drain batteries extremely uickly. These devices should
only be used while on shore power. For heating water, charging the batteries for two hours every orning
and evening will also heat up the water in the hot water tank.
5. Berths
Our boat sleeps six co fortably and eight if the dinette is converted. The boat is really ideal and intended for
six occupants. Each cabin has a berth that is approxi ately the sa e size as a queen-sized bed and can
co fortably acco odate two people. The dinette can be converted by re oving the table top, swapping
out the long table legs with the short table legs, which are stored behind the forward outer seat back cushion,
and reinstalling the table top. There are two cloth-covered cushions, which are placed over the table top to
for a double berth. Each berth has a ulti-layer attress with a top layer of e ory foa for extra
co fort.
If converting the dinette, please be sure to have a helper. It is very difficult to remove the table top from
the legs, or to realign the table top with the legs when reinstalling. This can result in table legs falling into
wood and upholstery, or damage to the table.
6. Cabin Heat
Tivoli has a three-zone ITR Hurricane diesel furnace, which heats the boat in two ways: the first is through
forced air via any vents throughout the boat and the second is through 180 feet of hydronic piping that is
routed under the floor of the cabin.
Furnace Location – The ITR Hurricane is ounted in the aft port cockpit locker. The furnace consu es the
better part of this locker and is fragile. For this reason, we ask that nothing be stored in this locker. In
addition to damaging the furnace, there is a risk of heat damage caused by the furnace, hydronic lines
and exhaust. Also, for your safety, please do not touch the furnace, hydronic lines or exhaust while the
furnace is running or after the furnace has been shut off.
Exhaust location – The exhaust port for the furnace is on the port side of the stern. Exhaust te peratures
can reach as high as 700 degrees. We ask that nothing be hung from the rails that may come in contact
with the exhaust port. Please also watch dock lines, fenders tied to the boat and the dinghy painter line.
Furnace Control – There are three ther ostats: one in the forward stateroo on the side of the hanging
locker, one in the ain salon on the side of the ast co pression post and one in the aft starboard
stateroo . The furnace has a ain on/off control switch and status display located beneath the electrical
panel. To turn the furnace on, you ust turn the ain control switch to “on” and ove the slide switch to

9
“heat” on at least one of the three ther ostats. The syste will not heat unless a ther ostat is calling for
heat. Adjust the te perature setting to the desired te perature. A hydronic heating syste heats the
water oving through the boat. Each ther ostat-controlled zone has a fan unit dedicated to that zone.
7. Dinghy and Outboard
Tivoli is equipped with a 10’ AB Inflatables aluminum hard-bottom dinghy and a 2.3 hp. The dinghy is roo y
(holds up to 4 adults, but you ay prefer two trips with fewer riders) with plenty of handholds and the
outboard is easy to operate. The dinghy tows with the least drag if brought close to the boat--about a foot off
the stern. This guarantees that you won't accidentally wrap the painter around the propeller when you back
up! Note the location of the hydronic furnace’s exhaust port on the port side of the stern. It is very
important that you keep all lines, including the painter, fenders, etc. away from this exhaust port.
Preferably, these items can be secured on the starboard side.
As owners, we would very uch appreciate your special care when beaching the dinghy. AB are built to last
with proper care and a considerable expense when new. Beaches in the San Juans are seldo gentle, sandy
beaches; ost often they are rocky and covered by barnacles equipped with extra sharp rubber cutters.
Here’s what works best: launch a person off the dinghy bow as you approach shore; then offload everyone
over the bow. Lift the dinghy above barnacle height and deposit it gently on the beach. We also secure the
painter under a rock or to a log – a rising tide can leave you high, dry and dinghyless!
The outboard has a four stroke engine, so do not add oil to the gasoline mixture – it uses straight gasoline
and has its own built-in gas tank to free up space in the dinghy. San Juan Sailing will be sure you have full
gas cans which are nor ally in the dinghy. But if you need to store the so ewhere else use the swi
platfor locker. This is the only locker where the gas fu es will not get into the boat. Also please do not
cruise with the outboards on the dinghy as a large wake or gust of wind can overturn the dinghy. We also
reco end taking the outboards off the dinghy at night.
The Honda is light so it’s easy to transfer fro the stern rail ount to the dinghy transo (and vice versa) by
hand. Please be sure to secure the outboard as close to the starboard side of the storage bracket as
possible to ensure that it is not damaged by heat from the barbecue.
The outboard has a built in kill switch tied to a red lanyard. The lanyard should be stored inside the boat in, or
near, the cockpit table to ensure that it is not lost.
Listed below are the operating instructions:
Honda 2.3 hp:
Starting the Outboard
a. Push the fuel valve lever (starboard aft corner of the outboard) aft to open.
b. Pull out the choke switch (starboard forward corner of the outboard).
c. Open the air vent on the top of the fuel cap by turning counter-clockwise.
d. Make sure the black U-shaped kill clip (with the red lanyard) is clipped into the red shut-off knob
(port forward corner of the outboard).
e. Turn the handle throttle ¼ turn counter-clockwise.
f. Pull the rip cord until it starts (you shouldn’t have to pull it ore than 5 ti es).
While Running
a. There is no trans ission--just throttle up to go forward and throttle down to stop. If you want to
go in reverse--just swivel the outboard around 180 degrees.

10
To Shut Off
a. Shut the outboard off by pushing in the red shut-off knob (where the kill clip is clipped in). Or just
pull the red lanyard until the clip pops off.
b. To avoid prop da age, shut the outboard off and raise it out of the water before you reach the
shore. Pull the outboard forward and out of the water until it clicks and stays in place.
c. To put the outboard shaft back in the water, release the stainless steel lever on the starboard side
of the shaft.
When Not in Use
a. Put the outboard back on the outboard ount on the stern rail and tighten both braces.
b. Push the fuel valve lever forward to close and close the air vent on top of the fuel cap
Troubleshooting
If the engine won’t start, review steps 1-6 above to ake sure you’ve done all 6 steps. There is a spare
spark plug and spark plug wrench in with the safety equip ent in case you need the . A new spark
plug solves yriad outboard proble s. If you use the spare spark plug, notify your check-in skipper
upon your return so a new one can be placed aboard for future guests. If the outboard is running and
you’re heading toward shore, and the engine suddenly quits, it’s usually that so eone has forgotten
to vent the fuel cap. If the engine is running fine but the propeller isn’t oving, the shear pin is
probably broken – just take the cotter pin out to re ove the propeller and replace the broken shear
pin (a spare pin is located forward of the shaft under the handle grip).
8. Docking
Tivoli has a deep keel and a relatively high freeboard; this co bination can create so e sideslip in heavy
winds or currents. We find it is helpful for the person handling the lines to take a line fro the id-ship cleat,
this allows the to pull the boat to the dock without ‘losing’ the stern. The other i portant issue is prop-
walk – Tivoli has slightly reduced walk to port due to the Flexofold propeller design. Be aware of this when
planning your docking, as you ay not have as uch “pull” as you are accusto ed to on a sailboat. Still, you
can use the prop-walk to your advantage when docking. For exa ple, if you can get a bow-in, port tie slip the
prop-walk will pull the stern into the dock when you go into reverse.
9. Dodger & Bimini
As with all dodgers, please be gentle. If the glass beco es spotted with salt please get a pot of fresh water
fro the galley sink and “flood” the salt crystals off the plastic. Our dodger has so e very handy rails on the
sides that ake staying upright and onboard easier.
The bi ini is not a traditional design. We prefer having a sun cover over the cockpit, without losing visibility
to a full enclosure. We provided an option for opening the cockpit up to the sun, but it takes so e work at a
ini u of two people in the cockpit. The aft section of the bi ini over the hel s – the panel with the
windows – is eant to stay up at all ti es. Re oving the front section requires lessening the tension on the
forward straps, one person holding the fra e and the other unzipping the canvas. Carefully roll the canvas to
avoid creases and stow it below in a safe location. You can use one of the two “pool noodles” to roll the
canvas around. With the canvas out of the way, the next step is to re ove the pins and ove the forward
fra e to the back of the cockpit. Maneuvering the fra e around the backstays, secure the forward fra e to
the rear fra e using the swiveling posts. If this provides too difficult, several bungee cords are located
onboard and can be used to lash the two fra es together. Please take care not to hit the fra e against the
gelcoat, electronics or the windows in the aft section.

10. Electrical Panels
The electrical panels on Tivoli are straight forward and clearly arked.
The ain electrical panel is located above the nav station. A couple of tips;
1. A needle-type voltage eter is located in the upper left-hand corner of the electrical panel. This eter
will read 110 volts when on shore power, as well as when on the inverter. The inverter has a built-in
transfer switch and will auto atically switch between batteries and shore power.
2. A digital ulti-function display is located in the upper right-hand corner of the electrical panel. This
display defaults to displaying the voltage and a p draw on the do estic (house) battery bank. A
round keypad below the display allows onitoring of do estic and engine starting battery bank
voltages, fuel level and water level for both water tanks. Pressing the battery bank button toggles
between the do estic and engine start battery voltages (assu ing both battery switches at the
battery panel are in the vertical “on” positions). Pressing the fuel level button shows you the fuel level
in the tank. Like a car, the tank will read full for quite a while before it drops. Pressing the water level
button toggles between the water level readings i
3. Be sure to keep the 110V AC plugs switch set to “on”. The furnace utilizes a 110V AC circulation pu p
to ove the heated coolant through the boat. This pu p shares the circuit with the AC plugs.
4. When you leave the boat at the end of your trip the only 12V switch that needs to be left on is the
refrigerator.
When you are not connected to shore power, avoid using the water heater as doing so will rapidly discharge
the house batteries

12
11. Electronics/Instruments
Cellular Telephones – There are five 12-volt cigarette lighter type outlets for recharging your cellular
telephones, one on the ain panel and one on the back of the table in the cockpit. Ther re aining three
are located in each stateroo , directly adjacent to the 110-volt outlet. Also, since we have an inverter
you can charge using a nor al 110-volt charger. Cell phone coverage is good in Friday Harbor and Roche
Harbor. It is spotty elsewhere.
Chart Plotter/Radar – We have a large-screen color chart plotter installed at the hel . It is integrated
with the radar. The “Navigation Instru ents” breaker ust be on at the electrical panel power the unit.
The unit will power up on its own and you have the option of turning the unit on and off via the red power
button at the unit. Please be gentle with the red power button, as we are on our third power button.
They are fragile. Fortunately, they don’t require uch effort. Note that it will default to whichever screen
it was on prior to powering down. Take so e ti e to fa iliarize yourself with the various displays and
enus prior to starting your trip. The anual for the chart plotter is in the chart table pedestal.
To turn on the radar, the “Radar” breaker ust be on at the electrical panel to power the unit. Please only
use radar when needed, as they are fragile and expensive to repair. When powered on, the chart plotter
will co unicate with the radar and be ready to display the data it receives, depending on the chart
plotter page that is active. Be sure to turn the radar off again when you no longer need it. Due to the
capacitors in the radar, the red status light on the electrical panel goes out slowly.
The scanner takes time to warm up so it will look like nothing is happening – be patient.
We reco end that in addition to using your PRIMARY navigation aids – na ely, the Maptech
waterproof chart book or the roll charts (with the ost active “killer rocks” arked in red) – up in the
cockpit while underway, you also utilize the chartplotter for added safety. It helps you to see if you are
where you think you are on the chart book or paper charts. The best way to stay off the rocks is by
knowing where you are at all ti es. And the pri ary role of the chart plotter is to verify that you are
where you think you are.
You should have little need of the radar except for the highly unlikely event that you are suddenly
enveloped by fog, which is rare in this area. The fog that we’ve encountered in the islands usually for s
in the wee hours of the orning and burns off by id-day. So if it’s a little soupy after breakfast, we put
on an extra pot of coffee until it lifts. Never depart fro a safe location into the fog! To do so, even with
radar, would be contrary to prudent sea anship. FYI – Fog beco es “reduced visibility” when you can
see ¼ ile (about 4 football fields) in all directions. It is safe to proceed CAREFULLY in reduced visibility
using your radar to “see” beyond the haze, but be sure to look up fro the screen about every 10 seconds
and use your eyes to scan the horizon forward, behind, and side to side. A otoryacht, tanker or freighter
traveling at 20 knots takes only 39 seconds to travel ¼ ile! You need to see these fast- oving vessels
sooner-rather-than-later so you can prepare, if indicated, to quickly take evasive action to avoid an
i pending collision.
Depth Sounder – The digital depth sounder will not give accurate readings beyond 400’. It is designed
for use in shallow waters. In deeper water, the sensitivity on the unit increases as the transducer tries to
get so e reading back. Consequently, when you are in deep water false readings caused by currents,
changes in water te perature, fish, etc are co on. These false reading often report very shallow water
so knowing you are in deep water is i portant. The depth showing on the sounder is being easured
fro the transducer (about 18” under true water level) so the water under the boat is really a bit deeper
than the reading. But we strongly reco end leaving 10-12 feet of water under the boat at all ti es
(noted exception is Bellingha ’s harbor at low tide – it gets down to about 8 feet).
We suggest using the depth sounder ainly as an aid to navigation in shallow water. However, the key to
avoiding rocks is not the depth sounder – but knowing where you are on the chart at all ti es. ROCKS
ARE THE SINGLE BIGGEST NAVIGATIONAL AND SAFETY HAZARD IN THE ISLANDS – BUT THEY ARE ALL

13
MARKED ON THE CHARTS. We do not reco end using the alar . Experience in the islands tells us that
it goes off at the wrong ti e – usually the iddle of the night as a seal or fish passes underneath.
Knot Meter – If the digital knot eter shows a reading of “0.00” while underway, the i peller is ost
likely clogged. So eti es it will clear its self; wakes fro big powerboats are good for this. You can also
try clearing it by traveling in reverse. The instru ent transponders are under the forward end of the
salon just port of the ast. You can re ove the i peller to clear it but only if you are experienced in such
things. If needed, the SOG (speed over ground) reading on the chart plotter will work as a standby knot
eter.
A.I.S. – Tivoli is equipped with an Auto atic Identification Syste . This syste will show ost
co ercial vessels on chart plotter screen as triangles. The triangle points in the direction that vessel is
oving and if you ove the cursor over the triangle the syste will give you addition infor ation (such as
na e, size, speed, etc.) about the vessel. The syste also trans its this sa e type of infor ation about
Tivoli to other vessels with A.I.S. This system should come on automatically when chart potter is turned
on AND the primary VHF unit is also turned on. The VHF unit is picks up the AIS signal and sends it to the
chart plotter. If you get frequent “AIS Dangerous Target” alar s on the chart plotter, the ute setting has
been disabled. You can press the center lower button under the screen to dis iss the alar . .
Stereo – We have installed a good quality car stereo/CD player on the electrical panel and with speakers
in the cabin and cockpit. Please be aware of other boats when you are in harbor and adjust the fader so
that the cockpit speakers are turned off when not in use.
TV/DVD/Blu-Ray Player – We have an HDTV and separate DVD/Blu-Ray player on board for your
enjoy ent. The TV is on a swivel ount so it can be flat against the wall when not in use or rotated to
face the dinette when in use. The Blu-Ray player is stored on top of the hanging locker in the forward
stateroo , with a power cord and HDMI cord (if the HDMI has gone issing, a second cord should be in
the chart table). Below the electrical panel, just to the right of the furnace control, you will find an HDMI
port (it’s black, so it ay not ju p out at you). You can plug the Blu-Ray, or a personal co puter, in here
rather than at the back of the TV. The re ote control is nor ally stored in the chart table and we store
the TV in the botto of the V-berth hanging locker with a life jacket on either side of it.
VHF Radi o – The ain radio is ounted at the nav station and a RAM ic port is ounted in the cockpit.
If the RAM happens to co e unplugged please turn off the radio before connecting the ic as THE RADIO
CAN BE DAMAGED IF YOU PLUG IN THE RAM MIC WITH THE RADIO ON.
We recommend that you monitor Channel 16 during your cruise. It is reserved for e ergencies and
boat-to-boat initial contact. After contact, ove to channels 68, 69, 72, 74 or 78. We listen to weather
channels 1, 2, 3, 4 or 8 (whichever gives the best reception) before we sail in the orning and prior to
anchoring for the evening. The islands are generally a light wind region but weather changes can be
sudden. Listen for the reports identified as “Northern Inland Waters”. San Juan Sailing monitors channel
80 during office hours The San Juan Sailing office phone is 1-800-677-7245.
Wind Instruments – Wind speed and direction are displayed at the hel .
12. Engine and Operating Under Power
Starting
a. Check the oil level daily. The dipstick is easily accessed on the starboard side of the engine. The
best access for this procedure is had by re oving the rectangular panel in the wall behind the
door to the aft starboard stateroo . You will see the dipstick to the lower left and i ediately
left of the oil filter. Pull and wipe the dipstick, push it all the way in and pull it back out to
check. We like to keep the oil right between the two holes at the end of the dipstick. Extra
coolant, if needed, is stored under the navigation station seat cushion with the tools. Be sure
not to over-fill!
b. Check the saildrive fluid level daily. The dipstick is easily accessed by re oving the larger of the
two table tops just behind the panel you re oved to check the oil. Feel under the forward
edge for a hand hold and lift up. Look behind the engine and look for a yellow cap on top of the
sail drive. This is the dipstick. Unscrew the cap, re ove and wipe the dipstick. Place the dipstick

14
back in the hole but do not turn it. Re ove the dipstick and ensure that the oil level is above
the lowest line but no higher than halfway between the arks. Extra coolant, if needed, is
stored under the navigation station seat cushion with the tools. Be sure not to over-fill!
c. Check the coolant level daily. The overflow bottle is easily accessed by re oving the upper
table top in the aft port stateroo . Look for the white bottle on the right/aft side. You can see
the blue/green fluid through the overflow bottle, ensuring it is between the low and high
arks. You can also visual check the level by re oving the cap. The level should be a few
inches below the top of the reservoir. Extra coolant, if needed, is stored under the navigation
station seat cushion with the tools. Be sure not to overfill!
d. Make sure the gearshift is in neutral (approx. vertical).
e. Make sure the battery switches for the starter battery are on. These switches are located in the
aft port stateroo . Both the black (-) and red (+) ust be in the horizontal “on” position.
f. Press the I/O power button on the right side of the engine control panel. It’s the lowest of the
four buttons. The display will illu inate and the buzzer should sound. This is the warning
buzzer you would hear if the engine overheats or if there is loss of oil pressure.
g. Press the button with the circle and arrow. This is the engine start button and is top button on
the engine control panel. Press the button for a o ent or two until the engine starts. The
engine usually starts very quickly (no need to press the glow plug button). You will need to
increase the RPMs immediately after starting for the warning buzzer to stop. Do this by
pushing the throttle lever forward (counterclockwise) while pressing in on the red button on
at the base of the throttle lever. By pressing the red button, you are bypassing the
transmission and allowing the idle to increase without moving the propeller.
h. After she starts, check for water flowing out the exhaust. You should hear a splashing sound on
the port side about two feet forward of the stern. Do not operate the engine if water is not
exiting the boat, as this eans the raw water cooling is not working.
i. Please allow 10 minutes of warm up before placing a load on the engine. Pushing a cold
engine is very hard on diesels.
Operation – We have found the 40 HP Yanmar engine to be very reliable. Cruising should be done at
engine RPMs of 2400 to 2800. Please do not exceed 2800 RPMs as this is very hard on the achinery,
does not increase your speed easurably and uses large quantities of fuel. 2500 RPMs will push the
boat at hull speed, except in heavy water or tidal currents. 2500 RPMs is roughly equivalent to the
throttle lever being in the “10 o’clock position”.
Also, there is a blower in the engine co part ent which is vented in the transo walkway between the
cockpit and the swi step. This blower is te perature controlled so do not be surprised if it co es on
auto atically.
Engine Overheat – If the buzzer sounds while the engine is running, i ediately check the oil
pressure and te perature gauges. If oil pressure is low, shut down the engine, check the oil level, and
contact San Juan Sailing. (We have never had an oil pressure proble and we hope you don't either).
Most likely a buzzer eans the engine has overheated. Check for water flowing out with the exhaust. If
flowing, check the coolant level. If there is no water flow the water strainer is likely plugged. If
so ething like eelgrass gets sucked into the engine cooling water intake, it ja s the raw water strainer
(located on the starboard side of the engine co part ent). The strainer has been installed above the
waterline, so there is no need to shut off the raw water intake through-hull seacock (at the hull, below
and aft of the engine) prior to re oving the lid to clear debris. To clear it unscrew the top of the
strainer and re ove the eelgrass or other aterials. Replace the lid and tighten the wing-nut, being
careful to reinsert the O-ring properly. If the engine overheats again upon restarting, check to be sure
the O-ring is in place and the wing-nut is tight; if it draws air, it won't draw water (also, if you shut the
raw water intake seacock, even though unnecessary, ake sure it’s in the open position). If still
overheating, call San Juan Sailing for assistance.
Engine Shutdown – PLEASE TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE BOAT IS MOVING UNDER ITS OWN
POWER (it can blow the alternator!) First ake sure the engine is at idle and the gearshift in neutral.
Then push the stop cutoff button on the engine control panel. When the engine dies, press the power
button until the warning buzzer stops and the illu ination turns off.

15
Engine Troubleshooting and Emergency Starting – If the engine is totally unresponsive to the key or
start button check to be sure that the start battery switch is on; it is located in the aft starboard
stateroo .
13. Fuel Tanks and System
The main tank feeding the engine holds 53-gallons and sits under the aft port stateroo berth. The fuel
shut-off valve is located on top of the tank. The fuel gauge is located at the electrical panel in the salon and
can be activated by pressing the button that looks like a fuel pu p (see notes under Engine operation above).
When filling the tank listen closely and stop as soon as you hear fuel coming up the fill pipe. It will foa out
the vent if you go uch further. The deck fitting for the ain tank is on the port side and is easily accessible
by lifting up the outer hel seat. Be sure you are opening the cap labeled diesel, as there is an identical fill
port on the starboard side, which is your aft water tank.
14. Galley
For those of you who are interested in fine dining while on vacation, we have done our best to setup Tivoli
with a well-equipped galley. We have place settings for eight on board and ost of the pots, pans and
utensils needed for food preparation. There is usually a large assort ent of spices condi ents and supplies
on board. The following list is intended to give you a flavor of what we try to keep on board. Please note that
no refrigerated ite s are included.
•Spices – ost co on spices are there, i.e. salt, pepper, oregano, sage, thy e, garlic salt, dried
chopped onions, etc. The assort ent is really quite good.
•Condi ents – Cooking oil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, A-1 sauce, Tabasco
sauce. Spices are in the cupboards to the left of the refrigerator.
•Supplies – saran wrap, alu inu foil, baggies, a few containers for leftovers, and garbage bags.
All we ask is when you use the last of so ething that you replace it. There is also an assort ent of cleaning
supplies should you need the , so e under the sink and ore in the cabinet in the shower.
15. Heads and Holding Tanks
Please do not put anything in the toilet that has not been eaten. Experienced sailors deposit toilet paper in a
wastebasket, not down the toilet because paper tends to clog the vents. The heads each have their own
holding tanks, the aft one holds 21 gallons and the forward one holds 21 gallons. The Y-valves for the
forward head is located under the sink (look for the red handle just below the floor of the cabinet). The Y-
valve for the aft head is located under the hinged shower seat. They are nor ally set to have the head pu p
into the holding tanks. On the Y-valves, the handle should be perpendicular to the hose co ing fro the
tank. Take so e ti e to fa iliarize yourself with the valve. In the aft head, this eans the valve is in the
vertical position when viewed fro above. In the aft head, this eans the valve is at approxi ately the “1
o’clock” position.
The tanks can then be du ped overboard (if you are in Canada) by opening the drain valves: In the aft head
the tank drain valve is under the sink and in the forward head it is located behind the toilet, open lower door
outboard of toilet to access. The valve under the forward sink is NOT the correct valve. Please note these are
gravity drain tanks, there is no need for a acerator. They will nor ally drain in less than a inute (you will
hear the finish with a ‘woosh’ if the engine is not running); or pu p out when in harbor. If you want to
pu p out the tanks the deck fittings are on the port side. If you have four people on board and have ‘nor al’
usage, the tanks will need to be e ptied every other day. If you have ore onboard or heavy usage, please
du p or pu p every day. There is no level indicator so being ‘regular’ with your dumping is important –
sorry about the pun (-:.
San Juan Sailing staff will discuss holding tanks and pu p outs on your arrival. Our one plea is this: don’t over
fill the holding tank as leaking sewage is ost unpleasant! Thank you.
16. Refrigerator
The on/off switch is on the panel. We normally leave the unit running 24 hrs a day without battery issues.
The box is broken into sections with a s all co part ent in the upper forward portion of the refrigerator.
This etal co part ent will serve as a freezer/chiller, as it is closest to the coils. We find that our ice lasts

16
longer (usually several days) if we put it at the botto of the refrigerator where the cold air wants to settle. If
you have eat you want to keep good and cold this sa e area is useful.
Drain Pump – As your ice elts, the water will be deposited in the bilge. The bilge pump should
always be switched to “auto”, so it takes care of any and all excess water that winds up in the bilge.
17. Repairs (Tools & Spares)
It is our goal and hope that you will not need to ake repairs during your trip. That being said, we have also
provided a good selection of tools and spares in case you need the . The tools are stored in a co part ent
under the navigation station seat. In this sa e location we have iscellaneous hardware, tape, wire ties, etc.
The spares include engine filters and belts along with a replace ent head pu p, replace ent starter and
replace ent alternator. If you have proble s please call San Juan Sailing or us (see nu bers on page 1).
18. Sails and Rigging
Mainsail – Unlike a standard ain, it is best to have wind in a furling ain when deploying, si ilar to
deploying a furling jib. The wind adds even pressure all the way up the ast and helps the sail deploy.
This even works going down wind (in oderate winds, up to about 15 knots). The new ain is ade of
la inate which is slippery, this helps the sail deploy. Since we put on this new sail we there have been
no issues with unfurling. However, should you have any issues or questions please feel free to call e, I
really don’t ind – y cell nu ber is 206-963-1308. Here are the procedures we use for furling and
unfurling:
Unfurling:
j. Un-cleat the boo vang, furling line, outhaul and ain sheet.
k. Usually we wrap the ain sheet 2 turns on the port winch but do not cleat it. The idea being to
not have it tight but also to keep it fro running out freely.
l. Re e ber to fall off so there is wind in the sail.
. Take a couple wraps on the starboard winch with the outhaul line. Pulling the sail out out of
the ast by hand is reco ended. If you do use the winch DO NOT force the sail out. At the
first sign that the sail is not coming out freely, stop and loosen the outhaul. Then, go forward
to the mast, grab the foot of the sail and give it a yank out of the mast (aft). This method
works 100% of the time for us with very little fanfare.
n. Once the sail if fully deployed putting the outhaul on the winch is reasonable and necessary.
o. Tighten boo vang and sheet in as needed. It is okay to use the electric winch on the sheet.
Furling:
a. Travel over or loosen the sheet (don’t need it flapping unless in stronger winds as it is best to
keep a little wind in the ain as it helps tension it for a tight wrap on the furling dru .
b. Un-cleat the outhaul and take all but one wrap off the winch. Use this to keep tension on the
sail so it wraps tightly around the furler.
c. Take a couple wraps on the port winch with the furling line. Pull by hand. You ay need to use
a winch handle, lightly, just to get it started. Do not use the electric motor!
d. The entire sail does not go into the ast, please leave the last foot or so exposed (it is covered
with UV protection and designed to be out).
e. Tighten boo vang and sheet to keep boo fro swinging too uch but not so tight that the
boo co es down to the dodger.
