OPERATION MANUAL

FOR

Eloise

Welcome aboard our 1996 Grand Banks 42 Classic!

We are happy you have chosen “Eloise”  for  your vacation  and take pride in sharing her with you.
We are sure you will enjoy cruising the islands of the Pacific Northwest.

These instructions are designed to make your cruise more pleasurable. In general, the operation of
the boat is fairly self-explanatory. Hopefully this will help with most of the basic operational
questions, some of which are unique to this vessel.   If you have questions about the boat or about
places to visit, please do not hesitate to ask the AYC staff.

At the end of your trip please take a moment to enter your name and any comments in our guest log
located in the third drawer under the captain’s seat at the main helm. Your comments are important
to us as we continue to upgrade “Eloise” after each charter season in order to make your next trip
even more memorable.

Enjoy your trip!
