Preface

Trash Overboard Decal - (Specific Models Only - Location Not Shown)

This manual has been compiled to help you operate your boat with safety and pleasure. It contains the

details of the boat, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems, and information on its operation and

maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat before using it.

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 ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming

command” of the boat. Your dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you

of local sea schools and competent instructors.

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER

WHEN YOU SELL THE BOAT.
