Lady Grey – Owners’ Notes November 2023

Welcome aboard Lady Grey!

Dear Guests,

Lady Grey, our 2016 Beneteau Oceanis 45 will be an amazing choice for your cruising adventure. When we

found her, we discovered the perfect San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands cruiser. We know that like us, you will

cherish every day aboard her.

SAILING: Lady Grey is a delightful to sail, and it’s easy to move her along in light air, which is common in the

depth of San Juan summers. A furling main and genoa make deploying and reefing the sails easy, with all lines

led directly to the cockpit.

HANDLING: Lady Grey has a modern hull with wide stern sections that increase interior volume and reduce

heel. Lady Grey has a deep single spade rudder and a 7ft 2in deep keel. Bow thrusters make docking in small

marinas surprisingly easy.

CABIN: Lady Grey has a spacious salon with three cabins and two heads, both equipped with electric toilets and

showers. All beds are queen-sized and the salon settee converts to a fourth berth. Both heads have separately

screened showers. The galley has a three-burner gas stove and oven, microwave, sink, refrigerator/freezer, and

a complete complement of cooking tools, spices and accessories. The large dining table and expansive wine-

storage match the French origins of our beautiful Beneteau.

COCKPIT: The expansive cockpit features a large drop-leaf table. Twin helms allow for outboard steering and

clear sightlines forward. The electric swim deck provides access to the dinghy and is a great spot to hang your

feet in the water. Engine controls are on the port side, and the B&G multi-function display (MFD) chart plotter

pivots, so it’s easily visible from either helm. An all-season dodger and bimini keep you warm and dry; full

cockpit enclosures are available upon request.

ELECTRONICS & ENTERTAINMENT: Lady Grey features a state-of-the-art navigation and instrument system,

making your travels easy and safe. She’s equipped with B&G’s Zeus2 12” full-color touchscreen chartplotter and

multi-function display (MFD), B&G’s patented SailSteer system, B&G’s Triton2 multi-function display and

autopilot, radar and AIS. The MFD supports multiple panels on one screen to customize the information

presented. It includes tide and current displays, photo overlays, sun and moon charts, and many more useful

features. A FUSION audio system with Bluetooth and USB connections lets you enjoy your favorite music

throughout the boat. Books and games are available in the salon, and there are warm throws for late-night

stargazing in the cockpit.

ENGINE: Her 57hp Yanmar engine and SD-60 saildrive has plenty of power. Lady Grey has a 53-gallon fuel tank,

providing a cruising range of 375+ nautical miles.

Lady Grey has given our family a lifetime of memories as we have sailed her through the San Juans. Sitting at

anchor watching the sun set, gliding along with whales and sharing laughter with new friends on the dock have

left an indelible mark in our lives. We know she will give you even more moments of peace and joy.

Wishing you wonder and restoration!

Dana and Brenda Anderson

Lady Grey – Owners’ Notes November 2023

1. Nuances

In many ways Lady Grey is similar to other charter boats. Therefore, you are likely to find most of her systems

will be familiar and easy to operate. There are a few things about her that are not ‘typical’. Those listed here

will help you enjoy a successful charter.

Solar Power- Lady Grey has 200W of solar power generation. Given adequate sunlight and conservative power

use she can sit at anchor for a couple of days. Her batteries require between 6-8 hours to fully charge. We

recommend picking up shore-power at least once during a week-long cruise.

Shore Power Cords – Lady Grey has two cords. The 50Amp end needs to be plugged into the boat. The 30Amp

male connector end can be plugged into the dock outlet or the 30Amp extension cord. Both cords are stored in

the starboard cockpit floor lazarette behind the helm when not in use.

Battery Charger Noise- Guest sleeping in the aft starboard quarter berth will hear a fan cycling when plugged

into shore power. If batteries are fully charged, turning off the charger will give a more restful sleep.

Anchor Chain- Lady Grey has over 250’ of anchor chain. She can easily anchor throughout the San Juans, which is

one of our favorite things about her. The chain is marked with color coded links at 25’ increments. The chain will

pile up in the chain locker as it is retrieved - avoid that “chain mountain” by pushing the chain forward in the

well using the boathook. Having a second person assist with this task makes retrieving the anchor easier.

Filling the fuel tank- Be sure to listen closely as you fuel the boat. A spill can be both embarrassing and

costly. We use the gauge to estimate how much fuel to take on (each ⅛ bar represents about 6 gallons).

B&G – order of power on – Although state of the art, the B&G system works best when powered on after the

VHF system has been powered up. If you notice the windspeed is not displaying this is typically caused by

starting the system in a cycle other than: 1) Navigation Instruments on at control panel, 2) Large display on, 3)

Smaller displays on. Power them all down by simply switching off at the main control panel.

Forward Stateroom overhead hatches- Please ensure that all hatches are closed prior to getting underway to

prevent damage from jib sheets. In addition, please do not step on the hatches while on deck. As a reminder,

the hatches all have “NO STEP” stickers on them.

Throttle and Saildrive - The transmission for the Yanmar SD-60 Saildrive on Lady Grey and other boats can feel

like they are slipping and not engaging immediately. Let the engine warm a bit before backing out of a slip.

When shifting from reverse to forward (and vice versa), proceed slowly and smoothly: pause for 1-2 seconds in

neutral (say to yourself “one & two &”), then shift to idle forward (reverse) and pause again for 1-2 seconds,

then smoothly advance the throttle forward (reverse). Remember, slow and smooth is better than fast and

jerky! When backing out of a slip or maneuvering in tight quarters, allow some extra time and distance for the

boat to drift backward.

Humming lines at night- We found the topping lift or the outhaul on the mainsail can cause some thrumming

noises at night. Relaxing both will give you a restful evening.

3. Emergency/Safety Equipment

Bilge Pumps

There are two bilge pumps: The manual bilge pump is located on the starboard side of the cockpit, just in

front of the steering pedestal. The handle is in the starboard aft cockpit locker just forward of the pump.

The electric bilge pump has automatic float switches but the switch on the electrical panel can be used to

power the main pump manually (this breaker is normally in Auto). The electric pump is located under the

salon sole about 2 feet aft of the mast compression post.

Emergency and Safety Equipment (miscellaneous)

Flares, air horns, and other essential safety equipment are in a mesh bag within the cockpit table aft storage.

Eight PDFs are stored in the forward port closet. A Type IV throwable should always sit in the cockpit. A Life

Sling is mounted on the stern rail.

Emergency Plugs

Each accessible thru hull opening located below the water line has an emergency plug taped to it. A

diagram that shows these locations is included in this notebook.

Emergency Tiller

Located in the starboard cockpit locker. It fits on the rudder post which is accessed through the round cap

between the helm stations.

Fire Extinguishers

There are three ABC rated fire extinguishers onboard. They are located:

◦Forward cabin starboard side

◦Galley, by your head if you are standing at the sink and

◦Aft cabin starboard side

First Aid Kit

Located in aft head cabinet, above the sink.

Spare Parts & Supplies

Located in the port cockpit locker.

Tools & User Manuals

Located in the starboard settee cabinet. Toolkits are located in the port cockpit locker.

4. Emergency Procedures

Fire

There are three ABC rated fire extinguishers onboard. They are located (a) forward cabin stbd side (b) in the

galley, by your head if you are standing at the sink and (c) aft cabin stbd side. All are ABC fire extinguishers.

If you have a fire at the stove turn off the gas solenoid switch at the electrical panel.

Hitting a Log or Running Aground

In case of a log hit or running aground, immediately check for leaks in the bilge and then check for cracks in

the fore and aft sections of the bilge where the keel attaches to the hull. Also check all keel bolts. Once you

Lady Grey – Owners’ Notes November 2023

are sure no water is entering the hull contact San Juan Sailing at 800-677-7245 and proceed to the nearest

harbor and have a professional diver check the hull, keel, prop, and rudder before proceeding.

Leaks

Make sure the bilge pumps are running. Then determine the source of the water, check the sail drive thru

hull seals which can be viewed through the access openings in either aft cabin, then the additional thru

hulls. There is a diagram showing the location of the thru hulls in the notebook. Get the crew on deck and

into life jackets. There are wood plugs tied to each of the through hulls.

There are two bilge pumps. The manual bilge pump is located on the starboard side of the cockpit, just in

front of the steering pedestal. The handle is in the starboard aft cockpit locker just above the pump. The

electric bilge pump has automatic float switches but the switch on the electrical panel can be used to

power the main pump manually (this breaker is normally in Auto). The electric pump is located under the

salon sole about 2 feet aft of the mast compression post.

Steering Failure

If the steering system fails, there is an emergency tiller in the starboard cockpit locker. It fits on rudder post

which is accessed through the cap in the center of the cockpit floor.Emergency access cap can be removed

with a winch handle. You will want to reduce sail or power when using this tiller since the rudder is large

and the tiller is small.

Crew Overboard

Throw a Type IV PFD or cockpit cushion to the person in the water first. Second, hit the mob button on the

chart plotter so you will know where they are. Then use one of the procedures discussed in the skipper’s

meeting to get back to the person. We keep the LifeSling mounted on the stern rail, starboard side.

5. Anchors and Windlass

Anchors

Lady Grey is equipped with two anchors, one forward (44# Delta with 300’ of chain and 200’ of rode) and a

Danforth in the port cockpit locker along with 15’ of chain and 200’ of rode. T

The scope normally used in the islands is 4 to 1.Most of the anchorages are well protected and popular, so

you will likely have someone anchored nearby. After you have paid out the suitable amount of chain, idle in

reverse for 1-2 minutes to set the anchor (no more than 1000 RPM). Here is an easy formula for how much

chain you need out; add the water depth on sounder, plus any tide increase expected during the night, plus

5’ (to account for the distance from sounder to roller on bow) and take that total and multiply by 4 (typical

example would be 25’ of water + 6’ of tide increase + 5’ = 36’ x 4 = 144’). The primary chain is marked with

color codes every 25’. The color sequence for length of chain is as follows:

Chain Length

Color

25’

white

50’

blue

75’

green

100’

yellow

125’

white

150’

blue

175’

green

Lady Grey – Owners’ Notes November 2023

200’

yellow

300’

red

The pattern repeats for the 300’ of chain.

Windlass

The electric anchor windlass receives power from the auxiliary battery. The circuit breaker for the windlass

is located under the starboard quarter berth. Note: the windlass will run without the engine running.

However, doing so for more than just a few seconds will drain the auxiliary battery, so it is necessary to have

the engine running when using the windlass.

The up-down remote controller for the windlass is secured inside the forward locker. Be sure to take the

tension off the windlass by attaching the snubber to the chain and a cleat (not the windlass), and then

running out more chain until the chain on the drum is slack.

Deploying the Anchor

Lowering the anchor:

1. Turn on the circuit breaker for the windlass (starboard aft cabin, near the floor).

2. Untie the line holding the anchor in place (this line doubles as the snubber).

3. Lower the anchor until the needed chain is paid out.

4. Secure the chain with the snubber and run out enough chain to take the load off the windlass. Do

not leave load on the drum. If you are expecting wind during the night, it is a good idea to run the

snubber over port roller and secure it to the port cleat. The reason is this, if the snubber line stays

on the starboard side along with the chain it slides from side to side as the boat swings and bangs

the chain into the roller brackets. It can be quite noisy for anyone sleeping in the V-berth.

5. Set the anchor by reversing at 800 RPM for 1-2 minutes, not going above 1000 RMP.

6. Turn off the circuit breaker and, if appropriate, turn on the anchor light.

Raising the anchor:

1. Start the engine.

2. Turn on the circuit breaker for the windlass and, if needed, turn off the anchor light.

3. Take in enough chain to retrieve the snubber.

4. When retrieving the anchor, never use the windlass to pull the boat; instead, slowly power toward

the anchor while using the windlass (up button on the remote control) to take up the slack. Also, if

the anchor is really stuck in the mud you will hear the windlass slow under the load. Immediately

stop the windlass and drive the boat forward to free the anchor.

5. The incoming chain will pile up against the aft end of the chain locker, so the operator needs to push

the pile of chain forward every 20-30 feet of chain (we recommend using the boat hook).

6. Once the anchor is out of the water please bring onto the boat by hand. Please do not pull the

anchor up onto the rollers using the power of the windlass; doing so will likely chip the fiberglass as

the anchor swings into the bow.

7. Secure the anchor by hooking the snubber onto the chain and tying it to the windlass drum (the

chain over the drum should not be the only thing keeping the anchor onboard).

8. Switch the windlass breaker “off” to prevent draining the auxiliary battery, then turn off the anchor

light on the main panel.

Stern Ties

Lady Grey – Owners’ Notes November 2023

There are times when adding a stern tie to shore will be handy, especially in Desolation Sound and north.

Lady Grey has 500’ of line on a spool for this purpose. It is stored in the port cockpit locker. The recovered

line is usually very wet, so we leave the spool sitting under the transom seat for a couple hours to dry before

we put it away.

Lady Grey – Owners’ Notes November 2023

6. Barbecue

The propane barbecue is mounted on the stern pulpit. Propane must be turned

on using the switch below the sink in the main cabin. The barbecue supply line

valve must be turned so it is in-line with the hose.

7. Bow Thruster

Controls are located at the port helm. The engine must be running for the bow thruster to be activated. To

activate or deactivate the bow thruster, press the red and green buttons simultaneously. You will hear one

short beep that indicates the bow thruster is activated and two short beeps when the bow thruster is

deactivated. The bow thruster will turn off automatically after 20 minutes of non-use. The alarm can be

confusing if you are motoring. We were surprised by the alarm more than once, until we learned the beep while

under power was just the bow thruster going to sleep. You will know the bow thruster has gone to sleep if you

hear two quick beeps. If you haven’t used a bow thruster before, here are two tips:

The bow thruster is not capable of serving as the primary means of steering your boat. We recommend

focusing on using conventional steering techniques while maneuvering and apply the convenience of the

bow thruster to fine tune or adapt to wind/currents.

The bow thruster causes the boat to rotate on her keel. This means the stern will move into the dock if

you are trying to move the bow away. Be sure to have at least one fender as far aft as possible to

protect the stern of the boat.

8. Batteries, Charging & Inverter

Lady Grey has 6 batteries onboard, one for starting the engine, one for the bow thruster and four in the house

bank. We have her wired for maximum convenience. These three battery systems are separated from each

other by an isolator, so each system is depleted independently. The battery locations are:

House bank – under forward end of aft berths, two on each side.

Start battery – under forward end of aft berth, inside battery on port side.

Bow thruster battery – under V-berth, forward end.

Battery/Levels Monitor

Lady Grey has a display on the main panel to monitor the batteries

(and other levels). The voltage normally starts at 13.5 when fully

charged. It will drop when systems are in use and the house bank is

draining. An alarm will sound when the battery bank reaches 11.7.

It is best to recharge when the voltage gets near 12.0 volts. Please

do not run the voltage below 12.0, as doing so damages the

batteries.

Water and fuel levels can also be check using this same display by

pressing the appropriate buttons (see picture to right).
