WELCOME ABOARD
Madam, Sir,
You have just taken delivery of your new JEANNEAU boat and we thank you for the
confidence you have shown us in ordering a vessel of our brand. The whole JEANNEAU team
welcomes you aboard.
A JEANNEAU is made to last, in order to bring you all the pleasure you expect from a vessel
over a period of many years. Each boat is subject to the utmost attention to detail from the
design stage right through to launching.
This manual is meant to help you to enjoy your boat comfortably and safely. It includes the boat
specifications, the equipment provided or installed, the systems and tips on her operation and
maintenance. Some of the equipment described in this manual may be optional.
Your JEANNEAU dealer will be able to help and advise you in the use and maintenance of
your boat.
Read this user's guide/owner's manual carefully and get to know your boat before using it.
The better you know your vessel the more pleasure you will get from being at the helm.
The sea is a source for learning. Caution based on a knowledge of one's own limits and those
of the boat is the pre-requisite for an accomplished sailor.
Even when your boat has been adapted for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding
to the design categories A, B, C and D may vary, ranging from severe conditions to strong
storms subject to the risks of exceptional waves and gusts of wind, this meaning they are
dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, fit and well trained crew manoeuvring a
well maintained boat can sail in a satisfactory manner.
This user's guide/owner's manual is not a course in safety at sea or about sailing sense. If this
is your first boat or if you change to a new type of boat which you are not used to, get some
training in boat control and sailing to ensure your safety and comfort. Your dealer, your
international sailing association or your yacht club will be very happy to recommend local
sailing schools or professional instructors.
Make sure the sea and wind conditions will correspond to the category of your boat and you
and your crew are able to handle the boat in these conditions.
Always listen to the weather forecast before you put out to sea.
Keep this user's guide/owner's manual in a safe place and hand it over to the new owner if
you sell your boat.
You are advised to keep all the instructions and manuals provided by the boat equipment
manufacturers (accessories...) in the same place as this manual.
