IX) COMMISSIONING
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES
The first commissioning of a yacht is essentially the start of its life, and the importance of
proper commissioning procedures at this time cannot be overstated. The first
commissioning procedure must be performed by an authorized Beneteau dealer or those
authorized by them. The dealer will also have a commissioning checklist to be signed by
the owner and a dealer representative at the time of the first commissioning. The owner
also needs to concern himself with items such as safety equipment, which is considered to
be his responsibility. See the Owner’s Operator’s Responsibilities section for details.
Lists of the pre-launch and post-launch checks employed during commissioning are
provided in this section for those owners interested in understanding the commissioning
procedure, as well as for future use in any recommissionings that may be required after
periods of wet or dry storage. The lists are of a general nature and do not attempt to
provide step-by-step instructions.
The following is a list of minimum commissioning duties. Additional
operations may be required dependent upon the model & equipment
