There are many people within the Carver organization who are avid boaters.
Some of the experience gained during our years of boating are presented in this
Owner's Guide. This information is presented in the left margin and is entitled “A
TIP FROM CARVER.”
If this is your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of boat you are
not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please obtain han-
dling and operation experience before operating the boat. Your dealer or
national sailing federation or yacht club can advise you of local sea
schools or competent instructors.
