This manual has been completed to help you to operate your craft with safe-
ty and pleasure.
It contains details of the craft; the equipment supplied or fitted its systems,
and information on their operation. Please, read the manual carefully, and
familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.
This owner’s manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this
is your first craft, or you are changing to a type of craft you are familiar with,
for your own comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and
operating experience before “assuming command” of the craft. Your dealer
or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of
local sea schools, or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the
design category of your craft, and that your screw are able to handle the
craft in these conditions.
Even when your boat is categorized for them, the sea and wind conditions
corresponding to the design category C range from severe storm condi-
tions for category, to strong conditions for the top of category C, open to the
hazards of a freak wave of gust. These are therefore dangerous conditions,
where only a competent, fit and trained screw using a well maintained craft
can satisfactorily operate.
This owner’s manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble-shooting
guide. In the case of difficulty, refer to the boat builder or his representative.
If a maintenance manual is provided, use it for the craft maintenance.
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, fixing or modi
-
fications. Modifications that may affect the safety characteristics of the craft
shall be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. The
boat builder cannot be held responsible for modification that he has not
approved.
In some countries, a driving license or authorization are required, or specific
regulation are in force.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowance for the deterioration
that will occur in the time and as a result of heavy use or misuse of the craft.
Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not
used properly. This is not compatible with safe boating. Always adjust the
speed and direction of the craft to sea conditions.
The craft should have onboard the appropriate safety equipment (lifejackets,
harness, etc) according to the type of craft, weather conditions, etc. This equip
-
ment is mandatory in some countries. The screw should be familiar with the use
of all safety equipment and emergency manoeuvring (man overboard recover,
towing etc) sailing schools and clubs regularly organize drill sessions.
All person should wear a suitable buoyancy aid (life jacket/ personal flotation
device) when on the deck. Note that, in some countries, it is a legal requirement
to wear a buoyancy aid that complies with their national regulations and times.
PLEASE, KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT
OVER TO THE NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
