1 GENERAL
The purpose of the owner’s manual is not to be a complete service guide
or repair handbook, but to guide the owner into the characteristics of
his/her new boat and to handle it in a proper way.
The warnings and precautions in this manual are defined as follows:
Units in line with the SI system have been used in this manual, but in some cases
other units have been added in parentheses. An exception is wind velocity, which
in the Recreational Craft Directive is given in the Beaufort Scale. In this manual,
the right side of the hull is referred to as STB (starboard) and the left side as Port.
1.1 CE-CERTIFICATION
This boat is classified as Category B and C. The category is determined according
to the maximum number of persons allowed onboard (B: 10 persons; C: 12
persons). CE certification means that a boat is designed and built in such a way
that it retains its stability and buoyancy in given circumstances and meets other
important requirements that are characteristic of the category in question.
One of these requirements is that the boats must be easy to manoeuvre.
This boat belongs to category C. The CE-categories means that boats in each
category must be designed and constructed to withstand the following param
-
eters in respect of stability, buoyancy, and other relevant essential require
-
ments stated. One requirement is that the boats must be easy to manoeuvre.
A. Ocean
These boats are designed for extended voyages, where conditions expe- rienced
may exceed wind force 8 Beaufort Scale and include significant wave heights of at
least 4 metres. Under such conditions these boats must be largely self-sufficient.
B. Offshore
These boats are designed for offshore voyages, where conditions up to and
including wind force 8 Beaufort Scale and significant wave heights up to and
including 4 metres may be experienced.
C. Inshore
These boats are designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries,
lakes and rivers, where conditions up to and including wind force 6 Beaufort
Scale and significant wave heights up to and including 2 m may be experienced.
Denotes that an extreme inherent hazard exists which very likely could
result in death or serious injury if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING!
Take precautions to prevent injury and/or damage to the boat and its
components.
CAUTION!
Maximum caution should be observed to prevent fatal injury or perma
-
nent harm.
