Fire fighting equipment has been described under “Systems”. The distress communication takes place via Satcom C, SSB or VHF, all with DSC and GPS input. Adèle also has three portable watertight VHF’s.

Adèle has furthermore:

• 3 x 10-persons liferaft in a locker amidships aft of mast.

Adèle has watertight bulkheads forward (behind the forepeak) and aft (in front of the aft deckhouse), around the engine room and also immediately aft of the mast. This last bulkhead has a sliding watertight door, which can be closed hydraulically.

There are two different bilge pump systems, of which the large system has two electrical pumps and a third emergency diesel driven pump that can be connected from deck.

Adèle has normal life jackets (according to MCA specification) plus special inflatable ones that are carried in a belt around the waist (for tropical daysailing in settled conditions) for the total compliment of crew and owner’s party.

There is no gas or petrol on board.

Security

We have an intruder alarm if anyone steps on board, connected to interior alarms and flood lighting on deck. If someone steps on board the CCTV cameras will automatically turn to that spot and the control/alarm panels will switch from whatever function they were showing to showing the picture from the cameras.

Environment

Black water is treated in a water treatment plant before it is pumped out. Bilges are pumped out via a bilge separation system that separates the oil first. The sludge oil is kept in a separate tank and pumped back ashore.
