6. Operation
The boat owner must take local and international regulations into consideration concerning the
boat crew, equipment and handling of the boat. In some countries, a driving license or a separate
authorization is required for driving the boat. Special regulations may also apply.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and wave conditions do not exceed the design category of the boat, and
that the crew is able to handle the boat in these conditions. Even though the boat is designed for such
conditions, they can still very dangerous. Only a capable, fit and trained crew, using a well maintained
boat, can satisfactorily operate in such conditions.
If the boat is fitted with a life raft, carefully read its operation manual. Onboard, the boat shall have the
appropriate safety equipment according to the boat type and weather conditions. This equipment is
compulsory in some countries. The crew shall be familiar with the use of all safety equipment and the
most important actions in different emergency situations. Sailing schools and clubs regularly organize
rescue drills.
The equipment in the boat may differ from the equipment used in the figures in this manual. This
might be due to any optional equipment chosen or modifications made after producing this manual. In
such cases, we recommend that you contact your local dealer for additional information regarding the
operation of the equipment in question.
Always maintain the boat properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur over time
and as a result of heavy use or misuse of the boat. Any boat, no matter how strong it may be, can be
severely damaged if not used properly. Inappropriate use of this boat not compatible with safe boating
is not allowed. It is always important to adjust the speed and direction of the boat to the sea conditions
and own boating experience. The gelcoat parts, especially the colored parts, should be polished and
waxed approximately every fourth months to prevent the parts from fading or getting other visual defects.
