Introduction
This manual has been compiled to help you to operate
your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details
of the craft, its systems and operation. It also contains
information about the equipment supplied or fitted. Read
this 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 if you are unfamiliar
with your type of craft, for your own comfort and safety,
obtain handling and operating experience before
“assuming command” of the craft. Your dealer, national
sailing federation, or yacht club will advise you of local
sea schools or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will
correspond to your craft’s design category, and that you
and your crew can handle the craft in these conditions.
Even when your yacht is categorized for certain sea
and wind conditions, the sea and wind conditions
corresponding to the design categories A, B and C range
from severe storm conditions to category A, to strong
conditions for the top of category C, which is open to the
hazards of a freak wave or gust. These are dangerous
conditions, and only a competent, fit and trained crew
using a well-maintained craft can satisfactorily operate the
craft. See
“Design Specifications” on page 6

This owner’s manual is not a detailed maintenance
or troubleshooting guide. In case of difficulty, refer
to the boat builder or the boatbuilder’s authorized
representative.
Always use trained and competent people for
maintenance, repairs or modifications. 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
modifications that he/she has not approved.
Some countries require a driving license or authorization.
Some countries enforce specific regulations.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowances
for the deterioration that will occur over time and as a
result of heavy use or misuse of the craft.
Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can become
severely damaged if not used properly. Practice safe
boating. Always adjust the speed and direction of the
craft to sea conditions.
