Chapter 9:

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT

9.1 Deck

Rails and Deck Hardware

The rail system and hardware ﬁttings have been selected and

installed to perform speciﬁc functions. Bow and hand rails are

installed to provide a handhold in certain areas of the boat. You

should make sure you keep at least one hand on the handholds

as you move about the boat.

Mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and not to rails or

stanchions. The stern is equipped with a hawse pipe and cleat

system. Mooring lines should be fed through the hawse pipes

then secured to the stern cleats. Be sure a clear lead exists when

running dock lines or anchor lines. A line inadvertently run

around a stanchion or over the rail could cause damage.

Note: All ﬁttings must be inspected periodically for loose

ﬁt or wear and damage. Any problems should be

corrected immediately.

ALBEMARLE BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH

HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOWING PURPOSES.

THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED

FOR TOWING ANOTHER VESSEL OR HAVING THIS

BOAT TOWED.

Bow Pulpit and Roller

The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is equipped with a

roller assembly that allows the anchor to be operated and stored

at the pulpit. The anchor line is stored in the rope locker and

routed out the windlass or deck rope pipe, through the roller

and connected to the anchor chain. A cleat or chain binder

is provided on the deck near the pulpit to secure the anchor.

Always make sure the anchor is properly secured when it is in

the stored position on the pulpit.

Anchor Rope Locker

The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed through

a hatch in the forward stateroom. The anchor line is always

stored in the rope locker.

The locker is designed for the bow anchor line and not for stor

ing anchors or additional anchor lines. Spare anchors should be

stored in one of the storage areas in the cockpit or ﬂybridge.

The anchor locker is drained to the bilge by a drain near the

bottom of the locker. It is very important to check the drain

frequently to make sure it is clean and free ﬂowing.

Periodically remove the anchor line from the rope locker, rinse

it with fresh water and allow it to dry in the sun. Cleaning the

anchor line regularly will reduce odors in the anchor locker and

increase the life of the line.

The line should also be inspected for abrasions or signs of

deterioration. Replace the line if it shows any sign of damage

or deterioration. If your boat is equipped with the optional

windlass, it is important to replace the anchor line with a new

line of the type recommended or supplied by the windlass

manufacturer.
