Training
No one is a born sailor. There is plenty of boating literature available. Navigation courses are
arranged by local yacht clubs or national boating associations where you can gain basic skills.
However, please remember that you only become confident in boat handling, navigation,
docking and anchoring after long practical experience.

Basic data
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D)
according to recreational craft directive 94/25/EC. The Yamarin Cross 53 BR is
designed according to design category
C
, which means the following:
The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 6
Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s) and corresponding seas (significant wave height at
most 2 metres). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland
waters, in estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Significant wave height is the mean height of the highest third of the waves,
which approximately corresponds to the wave height as estimated by an
experienced observer. Individual waves may reach up to twice this height. If
the significant wave height is 2.0 m, the mean height of all waves is roughly 1.2
m.
