AYC CHARTERER OPERATION MANUAL
ACADIA
Beneteau Oceanis 351
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for choosing Acadia for your vacation. We are sure you will enjoy cruising in the
lovely islands of the Pacific Northwest. Acadia has dropped anchor in many secluded coves,
explored our marine parks and tied-up at numerous resort marinas throughout this world class
cruising area. She is ready to share these great experiences with you.
Acadia was named in recognition of her original owners’ ancestral homeland in Nova Scotia. As
her second owners we have kept the name in recognition of our Canadian and US heritage as
well. Since launch at the Seattle Boat Show in 1994 Acadia has journeyed from top to bottom of
Puget Sound many times, cruised extensively through all the San Juan and Canadian Gulf
Islands, made her way further north along the sunshine coast of British Columbia and into
Desolation Sound on several occasions. She has stretched her sea legs even further with a
circumnavigation of Vancouver Island and other cruises to its rugged Pacific west coast. In
earlier times she also liked to club race out of Corinthian Yacht Club in Tacoma and has attended
many US and Canadian Beneteau Owner Rendezvous over the years.
We trust this manual will help you become familiar with Acadia. The Beneteau Owner Manual
with additional operating instructions is also at the navigation/chart table and several other
equipment use manuals are also on board. Please remember this is a NON-SMOKING vessel.
Always smoke outside of the cabin and enclosed cockpit area. If you have questions about the
boat or about places to visit, please do not hesitate to ask the AYC staff. Enjoy your charter –
Acadia knows the way!
