Battery Charging

Charged by either shore power (make sure AC power and battery charger switch are turned ON) or by running the engine

Monitoring Batteries

Monitor levels when using DC services while the engine is not running.

Battery voltmeter and Link 2000 digital monitor are at the navigation station.

DC Electrical Panel

Located at the navigation station

Electronics

GPS/Chart Plotter/Radar/AIS

Location: Main unit is at the navigation station inside the cabin. Secondary unit is under the cockpit table facing the helm.

To Operate: At the navigation station, turn the “Nav E120” and “Aft E120” switch on the DC panel to “on” and then turn on the power button at each unit. Cockpit unit is slaved to the Nav unit.

Depth/Speed/Wind Instruments

Location: At starboard and port helms. Starboard only shows wind. Port shows depth, speed and wind.

To Operate:

• In the main cabin, turn the “Autopilot/ Nav Inst” switch on the DC panel to “on”. Do NOT change settings.

Inverter

The inverter is a combination inverter/charger. It charges the house battery bank only and is powered by the house battery bank. While the inverter is in use the water heater and battery charger are automatically disconnected from the AC panel.

To Use: Press the inverter button on the Link2000 at the nav station.  

Sails

Headsail

The genoa is on a rolling furler. Jib sheets and furling line (starboard side) lead back to the cockpit.

• Uncleat the furling line and unfurl slowly (especially on windy days)
• Get 2-3 wraps around the genoa with the sheets when done and lock off sheets on cleats

Mainsail

Mainsail partially battened with lazy jacks inside a stack pack.

• The halyard is permanently attached to the head of the sail. It is secured with a carabiner when not in use. Do not detach the halyard from the head of the mainsail. 
• Colibri has a single line reefing system. When adding reefline tension it is easy to bring the tack block too low and do damage.

• To reef: 

• Unhook the bottom two snaps of the sail cover on the port side of the mast.
• Pull the cover back and hook the bottom snap with the halyard keeper carabiner.
• Make sure the bottom of the active tack block never drops below the red line on the mast.
• Use Halyard tension to keep the tack block high (the bottom of the block should be in line with the yellow line)  while bringing in the slack from the clew.
• Once all the slack is out lower the halyard and bring on more reef tension to lower the tack block to the red line, then add halyard tension again. If the bottom of the  block ends up between the red and yellow lines that is ok. 
• If using the second reef make sure the first reef block and extra sail are tucked away on the starboard side.

Electric Winch located on port cabin top is for main halyard ONLY!

• Power on with switch in the starboard aft cabin
• Controls are just forward of the winch - 2 speeds
• Ensure battens clear lazy jacks and both reefs, sheet and vang are free to run.
• Power off winch when not in use
