insurance liability separately when lifting the boat. Insurance also has an indirect effect on safety at
sea: In the event of a serious accident or damage, you must, above all, concentrate on saving peo-
ple. Insurance companies will be able to give more information about different insurance alterna-
tives. Be particularly careful to check insurance liability when you lift and transport the boat!
4.3. Training
No one is a born sailor. There is plenty of boating literature available. Navigation courses are ar-
ranged by local yacht clubs or national boating associations where you can gain basic skills. How-
ever, please remember that you only become confident in boat handling, navigation, docking and
anchoring after long practical experience.
5. Characteristics and use of your boat
5.1. General
The owner’s manual is not meant to be a complete service or repair manual, but to guide the user
to know the characteristics of the boat and to use his/her boat in a proper way.
5.2. Basic data
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D) according to the
recreational craft directive 2013/53/EU. Yamarin 50 BR is constructed according to category C. Be-
low you will find information on what each category means:
Category A: The boat is built for conditions where the wind can exceed 8 Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s)
and where the significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) can exceed 4m. In such
circumstances the boats are largely self-sufficient. Category A does not include abnormal condi-
tions such as hurricanes. Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages, for example
across oceans, or in coastal areas where there is an open expanse of sea for several hundred nauti-
cal miles off the coast.
Category B: The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 8 Beaufort
(approx. 21 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) does
not exceed 4m. Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length or
on coastal waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several dozens of nautical miles.
These conditions may also be experienced on inland seas of sufficient size for the wave height to
be generated.
Category C: The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 6 Beaufort
(approx. 14 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves does not exceed 2 m (please refer
to note below). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in
coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D: The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 4 Beaufort
(approx. 8 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) does not
exceed 0.3 m and the height of the greatest waves is no more than 0.5 m. Such conditions may be
encountered on protected waters on lakes and in coastal areas during fine
weather conditions.
