Always adjust your speed to prevailing conditions and the environment. Take into account
the following:
-
waves (also consult the passengers on what is a comfortable speed)
-
your own bow wake (greatest at planing speed, least at speeds under 5 knots)
-
maintaining adequate lookout
-
visibility (islands, fog, rain, driving against the sun)
-
knowledge of the route (time required for navigation)
-
rules of priority (other traffic)
-
width of the route (other traffic, noise and bow wake near shore)
-
Make sure to always maintain a sufficient distance to avoid collision. The distance
must be sufficient to stop the boat or to take evasive action.
When running at low speed, a planing boat's directional stability is poorer than at higher
speeds. So be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats
and follow the international regulations on how to avoid collisions at sea, COLREG. Navigate
with care and use new or updated nautical charts.
The running position of the boat greatly affects its handling characteristics and
fuel consumption, as well as visibility from the driver's seat. You can affect the running
position by:
-
Placing the load properly. The general rule is that you should place as little weight in
the bow as possible.
-
adjusting the trim angle.
The combination of the right running position with the right speed also makes driving in
rough seas safer and more comfortable.
WARNING!
A high speed and sudden manoeuvring can lead to loss of control
over the boat and large heeling angles.
WARNING!
The boat is not designed for use in temperatures below 0°C. The
drainage system will freeze and cease to operate as designed.
NOTE!
The boat is not designed to jump waves.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by flight. It is
possible to check whether the engine has been airborne from the
engine history on the repair shop's computer.

Approaching and leaving the pier
Practise boat manoeuvring skills where there is ample space to learn how to approach a pier
before entering a crowded marina.
A very gentle application of throttle does not generate sufficient steering power. Sharp but
short throttle applications enable efficient steering movements when approaching the pier.
