16. SAFETY EQUIPMENT
(Plans on pages N°125 to N°127)
16.1. Liferaft
There is currently no common mandatory requirement for safety equipment across the European Union, so
it is up to the
boat’s owner to make sure they are informed as to what national regulations exist in their
particular country, with regard to CE marked vessels.
In France, pleasure vessels which are CE marked must be equipped with safety equipment designed for the
relevant category of navigation under the responsibility of the yachtsman.
Your boat is equipped with one location for stowing a liferaft (1 x 12-person) (Figure 122). This is accessible
under the aft bench seat in the cockpit (hatch). This location must not be used as a storage area, so as not to
obstruct access to the liferaft. Carefully read the user manual for the raft. The crew must be familiarised with
the use of all of
the vessel’s safety equipment (harnesses, distress flares, liferaft, etc.) Sailing schools and
yacht clubs regularly organise training sessions.
CAUTION
- In the event of serious damage to the boat, use the designated escape routes
