INTRODUCTION
We share a common passion for the sea: we, JEANNEAU as shipbuilders and you who want to live
your passion on the Seven Seas.
We are delighted to welcome you to the great family of JEANNEAU boat owners and we congratulate
you on it.
This manual was 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.
Read this manual carefully before you put out to sea so that you can make the most of her and avoid
any damage and any trouble. Get to know your boat before you sail.
We keep improving our boats as we want you to benefit from the technological developments, new
equipment or materials and our own experience. That is the reason why the specifications and
information given are not contractual, they may be modified without prior notice or up dates.
This owner's manual is designed in accordance with the ISO 10 240 standard requirements, it has a
general purpose and it may sometimes list some equipment or accessories or deal with some points or
questions that are not relevant to your own boat. In case of doubt refer to the inventory list you were
given when you bought your boat.
Our network of JEANNEAU authorized dealers will be at your disposal to help you get acquainted with
your boat and will be the most qualified to take care of her maintenance.
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.
Even if everything has been provided for and designed for the safety of the boat and the safety of her
users, don't forget that sailing highly depends on the weather conditions, the sea condition, and that
only an experienced and very fit crew, handling a well-maintained boat can sail satisfactorily.
