Re: Stus-List Boat operating manual

[RANDY via CnC-List]

I have a set of checklists for Grenadine. In fact I just updated it yesterday 
so my crew can race her next week in my absence. I keep a laminated printout of 
it on board. My document is not as thorough as yours, largely because Grenadine 
doesn't have as many systems as Touche (refrigeration, navigation, inverter, 
etc.) but the basics are pretty similar. I've appended Grenadine's checklists 
below. 

Cheers,

Stus-List Boat operating manual

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

How many listers have operating instructions specific to their boat?  Good
for someone who doesn't know the boat.  Good to impress a potential buyer
or helpful for a new owner (I ain't selling!)

Touche' has a manual that, in addition to the operating instructions,
contains the boat's USCG and state documents, PHRF certificate, operating
manuals for various equipment like VHF, engine, stereo, etc.

I'm in the process of updating and improving the boat's basic operating
instructions.  It can be viewed at:

Any suggestions?
