I. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Aquaglide® Supersport™.
You are about to discover the fun and versatility of this unique craft.
To ensure the best possible experience, please take the time to read
carefully through this Owner’s Manual.
The Supersport™ is an inflatable sailboat that converts easily for
optional use as a windsurfer. Compared to other sailboats, the
Supersport™ is lightweight, compact and very portable.
This manual has been compiled to help you safely use and enjoy
your Supersport™. It contains details about the vessel, all supplied
equipment and information regarding assembly, safe use and proper
maintenance. Read it carefully and make sure you are familiar with the
boat before you use it.
The operation of any vessel is a serious responsibility. Each operator
must be competent to “command the craft” including ensuring the safety
of his/ her vessel and its crew. If this is your first vessel, or if you buy a
different type of boat you are not familiar with, please make certain you
have enough experience to handle and operate the craft. Your dealer,
local sailing center or national sailing association can all be useful
sources of information regarding local sailing schools, training and/or
competent sailing instructors.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO
THE NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
