breaking waves are serious stability hazard.
Please note than in some countries Driving License or Authorisation are required, or specific regulations are in force.
Always maintain your boat properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur in time and as a result of heavy use or misuse of
the boat.
Any boat – no matter how strong it may be - can be severely damaged if not used properly. This is not compatible with safe boating.
Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to sea conditions.
The crew should be familiar with the use of all safety equipment (harness, flares, liferaft, etc.) and emergency manoeuvring (man overboard
recovery, towing, etc), sailing schools and clubs regularly organise drill sessions. If you carry onboard a liferaft, read carefully its operating
manual.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
