Lagoon 440 S2, User Manual

Page: 3 / 122

We share a common passion for the sea: we, LAGOON, as boat-builders and
you, who want to live out your enthusiasm for the ocean.
We are delighted to welcome you to the great family of LAGOON boat owners
and we would like to congratulate you on your purchase.
This instruction guide is intended to help you to enjoy your boat in comfort and
safety. It includes the boat specifications, the equipment provided or installed,
the systems on board and tips on use 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 difficulties. Read it carefully and familiarize yourself
thoroughly with your boat before sailing.
In order to share as much new technology, new equipment and new materials
with you as possible, our boats are constantly improved. This is why the
specifications and information given are not contractual and can be modified
without notice and we are not obliged to provide updates.
This instruction guide has a general purpose and it may mention some
equipment or accessories or deal with some points or questions that are not
relevant to your own boat ; if in doubt, refer to the inventory that you received
on delivery of your boat.
If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a new type with which you
are not familiar, first obtain some training in boat handling and sailing to
ensure your safety and comfort before taking the helm of your boat. Your
dealer, international sailing association or yacht club will be able to
recommend local sailing schools or professional instructors.
Although everything possible has been planned and designed with the safety
of the boat and its users in mind, remember that sailing is highly dependent
on the weather conditions and the conditions of the sea, and that only an
experienced and very fit crew, handling a well-maintained boat, can sail
satisfactorily.
The sea and wind conditions that correspond to design categories A, B and C
are changeable and are still susceptible to the risk of unusually large waves
or strong gusts of wind. Total safety cannot therefore be guaranteed, even if
your boat meets the requirements of a category.
Always consult the weather and shipping forecasts before
taking your boat out to sea.
Make sure that the sea and wind conditions forecast
correspond to the category of your boat, and that you and
your crew are able to handle the boat in these conditions.
Our network of LAGOON authorized dealers is available to
help you get acquainted with your boat and is best qualified
to take care of her maintenance.
