Page 5 – Electrical System

Electrical System

Lazyitis has ample power with an easy to use 12 volt system with separate power

supply for the house and engine.

The vessel also utilises 240v shore power when in the marina for battery charging. A

240v battery charger is located in the starboard cockpit locker together with its isolators.

The battery switch and anchor winch circuit breaker are located on a panel in the port

aft cabin.

No battery switches should be touched during charter unless in an emergency or

advised to by base.

All electrical lights and appliances are controlled from the switches at the main electrical

panel. Fuses for each are located behind the electrical panel.

The batteries are recharged by the engine and the level of charge is indicated on the

gauge on the main electrical panel.

Although this provides ample power it is necessary to keep power consumption down

by turning off lights or appliances when not in use.

Because Lazyitis has a totally separate engine battery system you will always have

power to start your engine even when the house batteries are very low.

Recharging of the house batteries will take 3 hours and requires nothing more than an

engine speed of about 1500 RPM, for an hour in the morning, an hour in the middle of

the day and an hour after 3pm. This should keep battery in state of charge between

50% and 90%(12.2v and 12.5v). If, after 3 hours of engine operation, further recharging

is indicated, contact Base.

Lazyitis has a separate engine starting battery and normal motoring will be sufficient to

recharge it. You should always be able to start your engine to recharge your house

batteries.

The house batteries are charged by the engine while motoring, running the engine at

anchor or by shore power.

Page 7: OPERATION MANUAL Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

OPERATION MANUAL

Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

Page 6 – Electrical System

Electrical System

Battery Monitor

The battery monitor is situated adjacent to the main electrical panel.

It shows how much power is left in your house battery. It also shows when you must

recharge your battery. When your electrical monitor shows you have consumed 50%

(12 volts) of the battery's capacity it is time to recharge. The battery is most efficient

when recharged before it passes this level.

Any power you use has to be replaced and you should monitor your house battery

condition to ensure it is kept charged. Heavy power consumption will require you to

replace the power used by running your engine for longer periods.

Shore Power When in a marina the 240v shore power lead should be connected to an outlet on the

marina and to the vessel inlet on the transome. Ensure the green warning light on

the battery charger is glowing. Circuit breakers for the 240v system are located in

the cockpit locker.

CD and Radio To operate ensure the VHF/HIFI switch is on.

Switchboard VHF Radio and CD/Stereo

Page 8: OPERATION MANUAL Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

OPERATION MANUAL

Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

Page 7 – Radio

VHF Radio

Lazyitis is equipped with a Uniden VHF radio.

* Ensure the VHF/HIFI switch is on at the main panel.

* Turn the radio on, select the channel, and adjust squelch to stop static.

* Cumberland will call you at 9.30am and 2.30pm on Channel 86 or 82. At all other

times contact base on Channels 86 and 82.

* When talking to another vessel use channel 11 (eleven) or 08 (zero eight).

* Detailed instructions are on the Cumberland Charter's radio instruction sheet.

Radio Schedules

Charterers are required to answer twice daily radio schedules on Channel 86 or 82 at

9.30am and 2.30pm.

If reception is bad try Channel 82 in northern waters.

You must be in contact with base twice daily or you will be liable for search costs

involved in trying to find you and your vessel.

Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

Page 8 – Navigation Instruments

Navigation Instruments

Lazyitis is equipped with instruments which gives you boat speed, depth of water and

wind speed and direction. She is also fitted with a chart plotter.

Do not adjust these instruments as damage can occur to sensitive electronics if used

incorrectly.

There is no need to adjust any settings by using the buttons on the instruments.

Note: Never rely solely on the sounder when moving in shallow water or when

anchoring. The depth reading on the sounder is depth under the keel - not ahead of

you.

A crewman should look for coral from the bow and the vessel should manoeuvre very

slowly.

Remember that the instruments are electronic and incorrect use of buttons can cause

false displays or damage.

Page 10: OPERATION MANUAL Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

OPERATION MANUAL

Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

Page 9 – Engine

Engine

Lazyitis is powered by a Yanmar 20HP diesel and cruises at 4.5 knots at 2000 rpm and

a maximum 6 knots at 2800rpm.

One 65 litre fuel tank gives a cruising range of 150 miles or 30 hours running.

To Start Engine

1. Select neutral with gear lever in central position.

2. Press the power on button. (bottom button)

3. Press and hold the start button. (top button)

To Engage Gears

Move the throttle to central position and red button will automatically pop out. Move the

throttle lever forward to forward gear and back for reverse.

Always pause at neutral for a few seconds when changing gears.

To Stop Engine

1. Select neutral.

2. Press and hold the “STOP” button until the engines stops (second button from top).

3. After the engine has stopped and the tachometer has dropped to zero, switch off by

pressing the power button (bottom button).

Checking of oil and coolant in the engines is not necessary during your charter unless a

problem occurs.

It is a good idea to check there is adequate cooling water coming from the engine

exhaust after starting.

An audible alarm will sound at the engine control panel if the motor has a fault.

If an engine alarm sounds while engine is still running

* Stop the engine.

* Call Cumberland Base for advice and assistance.

Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

Page 10 – Windlass

Windlass Lazyitis is fitted with an electric anchor winch, 60 metres of chain and a CQR type

anchor. The winch raises the anchor when the UP button is pressed and lowers the

anchor when the DOWN button is pressed.

Always run the engine when using the winch.

The circuit breaker is located in the aft cabin and should be in the ON position. If the

winch is overloaded the circuit breaker will trip. Turn the yellow switch through 90

degrees to reset.

To Lower the Anchor

1. Select your location from the 100 Magic Miles and check water depth and tidal

movement. Stop the vessel with the bow into the wind.

2. Calculate 4 X maximum depth (which is charted depth and overnight high tide). With

the tender alongside, press the down button and, while reversing the vessel, lay out

the chain.

3. When the required length of chain is released, (minimum 30 metres), allow the

vessel to lay into the wind and engage reverse gear and move the vessel back until

the anchor is set.

4. If the anchor doesn't hold - let out a further 10 metres of chain and try again.

5. A minimum of 30 metres of chain should be let out at all times.

To Lift the Anchor

1. Open anchor locker hatch and make sure the chain doesn't stack up.

2. Motor very slowly forward, so the chain is vertical. Press the UP button. Don't

over run the chain and make sure chain comes up vertically. Keep the skipper

informed so the vessel moves ahead only as fast as the chain is retrieved.

3. The windlass is designed to lift the weight of the chain and anchor only. Do not

overload it by pulling the boat forward.

* CAUTION - If the anchor is snagged in rocks or coral and you try to break it free

don't let this load go through the winch. Use the snubber or secure the chain to the

main bollard.

* Ensure the chain is falling into locker easily. When the chain stacks up you will have

to rectify the situation by flacking chain from under the winch down into the locker

(every 5 metres). This happens with the last 15 metres of chain.

* Always leave the chain slightly loose and don't snub the anchor hard onto the roller to

avoid overloading the windlass.

WARNING

When using a windlass, it is important to keep your fingers and toes well away from the

teeth of the windlass and the chain as it passes over the bow roller, as accidentally

trapping them could cause serious injury.

Keep your fingers and toes away from the chain as it passes over the bow roller.

Emergency Manual Anchoring ONLY

To Release Chain

Carefully release the gypsy by turning it anti-clockwise with the winch handle.

As soon as the gypsy is free the chain will run out so do this slowly.

Do not touch the deck switches and keep your fingers away from the winch.

If the gypsy does not release it might need a gentle tap to break it free.

You could also manually pull the anchor forward and lower it into the water for a few

metres.

* Once the anchor is falling freely regulate its descent by tightening the gypsy with the

handle.

* Check the 10 metre chain markers after 30 metres to ensure you let out four times

the depth of water in chain. (15 metres of depth is your maximum for anchoring).

* Move the vessel slowly astern downwind as the anchor chain goes out.

* When you have enough chain out tighten the gypsy to stop the chain.

* When the anchor is set attach the bridle and let out the chain so it takes the load.

* Retighten the gypsy.

CAUTION - Do not overtighten the gypsy. Use only one hand on the handle and about

10 kilograms force. If it slips tighten it slightly.

Page 12 – Moorings

Mooring Procedures Public Moorings

When approaching a public mooring, position the vessel so that it’s downwind of the

mooring and approach the mooring with the wind coming directly at you.

Remember to have the dinghy alongside at midships during this manoeuvre.

Station a crewmember on the bow with the boat hook and when the vessel is in position

the crewmember can pick up the mooring line with the boat hook.

The helmsman should take directions from the crewmember when approaching the

mooring.

Feed the mooring line over the spare bow roller, but under the life lines. Attach it to the

largest cleat available.

Or use the dedicated Mooring Strop that attaches cleat to cleat (As per briefing).

WARNING! The Mooring line should never be attached to the Anchor Winch,

the Anchor Bridle or the Anchor Snubber.

When releasing moorings the vessel should be reversed until clear of the mooring buoy

and rope.

ONLY when you can see the buoy and pick up line then should you motor forward to clear

the mooring line in the water. Remember to have the dinghy on the davits during this

manoeuvre. Mono hulls Dinghy alongside.

Public Mooring Cumberland or private Mooring

Cumberland and Other types of Moorings The procedure for using these moorings is the same as public mooring except that they

are fitted with a smaller pickup buoy, which is attached to the main Mooring Chain.

Pickup the small buoy, haul the chain onboard and attach the Chain over the cleat.

Page 15 – Fresh Water, Showers and Hot Water

Fresh Water

Lazyitis has a 310 litre freshwater capacity for domestic services. There is a 160 litre

forward tank under the berth in the forward cabin and 150 litre tank located in the

cockpit locker. There is also a 20 litre jerry can of spare water in the cockpit locker.

The pressure pump and changeover valves are located behind the starboard saloon

seat.

Don't have more than one tank open at the same time.

The change over valve is a Y fitting with a valve

in each leg, one should be on (in line with the

pipe) and the other should be off (at 90 degrees

to the pipe).

When the “on” tank runs out,reverse the position

of the valves and purge the air from the system

by opening the taps and running the pump until you have a solid stream of water.

Ensure the pressure pump stops when the taps are turned off.

If both tanks run out do not let the pressure pump run dry as it will be damage – turn it

off at the switchboard.

Deck filler caps for each tank are located fwd midships on the port side and on the

starboard aft. Fill them slowly.

Showers

Lazyitis has two showers, one in the bathroom and a deck shower on the transom.

Deck Shower

To operate ensure the WATER PUMP switch is on at the switchboard.

When finished - turn everything off again.

Page 16 – Toilet and Holding Tank

Toilet and Holding Tank Lazyitis has a push button MACERATING toilet pump which is permanently

connected to a holding tank.

IMPORTANT! When you are visiting a MARINE PARK “B” zone (Green Zone) or a Marina you

must not discharge even treated waste from the toilet. To comply with government

regulations do not open the holding tank valve. When you depart the GREEN ZONE

or marina (1Nm) you can open holding tank valve to empty tank. The valve is located

under holding tank. The switch is located adjacent to the toilet.

The holding tank has a limited capacity and is only designed to hold waste generated

over a 24 hour period. It therefore needs to be emptied regularly.

Only human waste and toilet paper can be put in the toilet.

• Sanitary pads, tampons or panty liners

etc.

• Baby wipes.

• Facial wipes

ALL of these waste items must be disposed of in

the rubbish as they will block and damage the system.

Ensure all crew-members know how to use the toilet properly because a blocked

toilet can spoil your holiday !!

Operation

1. Give a quick flush to introduce water to bowl.

2. Flush 10 seconds to remove human waste

3. Wipe/clean up add paper to bowl.

4. Flush 10 seconds to remove paper waste

5. If waste won’t go away wait 1 min and repeat step 4.

6. If at anytime water level getting to high, close red handle (water in valve)

behind toilet.

7. Repeat step 4 with water in valve closed.

8. Once water emptied from bowl open up valve behind toilet.

If the toilet is still blocked - call Cumberland Charter Yachts.

If the toilet is blocked during charter as a result of misuse, there will be a charge to

get the blockage cleaned out.

Page 17 – Bilge Pumps

Bilge Pumps

Electric System

Lazyitis has an easy to use system of 12 volt bilge pumps.

The electric pump is located under the floor in the saloon and is operated by the BILGE

PUMP switch on the switchboard.

Leaving the BILGE PUMP switch on in the MANUAL position will burn the pump out if it

is run dry for an extended period.

The BILGE PUMP switch should be left in the AUTO position.

There is an automatic float switch to operate a high level water alarm.

There is also one manual pump located in the cockpit with a movable suction hose

under floor boards at the stairs.

Manual System

The manual pump is situated in the cockpit.

The pump handle is located in the cockpit locker, adjacent to the pump.

The manual pump needs to be operated quickly for at least 30 seconds to prime the

pumps and purge the air.

Once the pump starts to suck water the action can be slow and steady.

Shower Bilge

The shower bilge pump is connected to the WATER PUMP switch.

When using the shower, press the black button in the shower compartment. This will

operate the shower bilge pump and ensure the shower water is pumped away.

Page 18 – Manoeuvring and Steering

Manoeuvring and Steering

Lazyitis steers easily at idle speed in forward gear. When moving astern the yacht will

move to starboard before it responds to the rudder when you reach 2 knots.

When engaging reverse, PAUSE before using revs so reverse lock engages properly.

Always ensure the tender is alongside and secured fore and aft when manoeuvring. Or

if moving astern trail it from the bow.

The best place to learn how your vessel manoeuvres is when you have plenty of space

at an anchorage. Familiarise yourself there before entering a marina. Engage reverse

and test the vessel's response when it reaches 2 to 3 knots.

Before you approach a berth have your fenders down, almost touching the water.

In strong winds use extreme care when moving to a marina berth. Don't reverse into a

berth. Approach the dock slowly but ensure you are moving steadily to retain good

steerage. Make sure you know which side of the dock you will be tying up to. Don't be

afraid to ask marina staff for assistance if required.

The tender can be used as propulsion for the vessel if you need to manoeuvre or the

main engine has run out of fuel or failed.

Tie the tender securely fore and aft and have a crewmember operate the outboard to

the skipper's instructions.

Make sure the outboard is in the locked down position so you can use it in reverse.

THIS IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY AND CAN ONLY BE DONE IF INSTRUCTED

BY CCY BASE.

Page 20: OPERATION MANUAL Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

OPERATION MANUAL

Beneteau 323 - Lazyitis

Page 19 – Sails

Sails

Lazyitis has a roller furling headsail and a slab reef mainsail. Always head into the wind

when raising or lowering the mainsail.

Headsail

To set the headsail -

1. Release furling line at jammer.

2. Pull on the headsail sheet rope to unfurl line.

3. Lock off furling rope cleat when you have set enough headsail.

4. To furl sail away - release tension on sheet rope and pull the smaller furling rope.

Lock off cleat when sail is fully rolled in.

When furling the headsail head off the wind to stop the sail from flogging.

Never use a winch on furling lines as damage to the forestay may result.

Never release tension on mast headsail halyard which is secured with plastic ties. This

is only released when removing the sail for maintenance.

Close hatches when sailing to avoid damage if a rope catches on hatch.

Mainsail

Lazyitis's mainsail should be reduced to the first reef point when winds reach a constant

15 knots on the wind instrument and on the second reef point when the wind reaches a

constant 20 knots.

Do not use the mainsail if the winds exceed 30 knots. In heavy weather conditions it is

best to motor or motor/sail with a minimum amount of headsail.

To Raise the Mainsail

1. Unclip the mainsail cover.

2. Move vessel slowly straight into the wind by using the motor.

3. Release the mainsail sheet rope in the cockpit.

4. Raise the mainsail by pulling on the mainsail halyard by hand. If using the winch

make sure the sail does not jam in the track or on the lazy jacks.

To Reef the Mainsail

1. Steer the vessel into the wind and ease the mainsheet.

2. Raise or lower the mainsail so that the first reefing block at the front of the sail is just

above the sail cover. Cleat the halyard.

3. Tension down the first reefing line using the winch until the aft block is at the same

level as the front block.

4. Use the same procedure for the second reefing point.

To Lower the Mainsail

1. Steer the vessel into the wind and release mainsheet. Release the halyard to drop

the mainsail. Most of the mainsail should fall into the sail cover and the rest can be

pushed in by hand. Using the motor will assist you in steering into the wind. Clip up

the mainsail cover.

Page 20 – Tender and Outboard

Tender and Outboard

Lazyitis has a Barefoot tender powered by a 6hp Mercury Outboard.

To Start the Motor

1. Lift motor slightly and release tilt lock on the rear starboard side of the motor and

lower outboard into the water.

2. Prime the squeeze bulb in fuel line if necessary until it is hard.

3. Pull out the choke knob when the motor is cold.

4. Ensure gear lever is in the central or neutral position.

5. Twist throttle handle 10 degrees to low throttle setting.

6. Pull starter cord.

Push the choke in as soon as motor starts.

Do not continue to pull starter cord with the choke out.

To engage gears move gear lever forward or back at low idle revs.

To stop the outboard, press the red button.

It is easier to operate the motor with left arm while sitting on the stb side of tender

Always have the tender alongside midships for easy access when manoeuvring or

anchoring.

Have the tender behind the vessel at full length with outboard tilted up ONLY when

underway.

Outboard

The Mercury outboard has a rubber bushed propellor which will shear if the propeller

hits a rock or coral. You should therefore exercise due caution when operating in

shallow water. It is best to stop the outboard, tilt it up and proceed with the paddles.

Page 21 – Tender and Outboard

Tender

The inflatable is also a liferaft for Lazyitis.

It has separate bladders in each side of the tender with air filler caps should they require

refilling.

The air pump is in the cockpit locker.

Do not over inflate. If the hulls are inflated with cold air at night they will expand in the

heat of the day.

When opening the valve caps always ensure the plastic surround does not turn.

If this is loose a washer inside the hull can be displaced, causing loss of pressure.

If your tender deflates contact Base because further use will puncture the bladder and

cause further damage.
