Owner's Manual

 

 
 
 
 
Dear Sailor,  
 
Congratulations on your purchase of a Sea Pearl 21.  
 
Your Sea Pearl is constructed with the finest material available for use in production operations. 
Exotic materials are used where needed and otherwise avoided to ensure dependability. It is 
constructed with proven methods by experienced craftsmen, and with proper care will last a lifetime.  
 
As you get to know you pearl, you will find yourself possessed with a pride of ownership. The unique 
qualities of the Sea Pearl will always attract attention and will prompt questions from the gallery of 
onlookers at the launch ramp. The effortless setup and easy launching will usually turn a few heads.  
 
This pride of ownership will be reinforced as you discover her unique sailing characteristics and what 
they can do for you. Her speed and responsiveness are complemented by her seaworthiness. The 
knowledge that you have a sure quick reefing system adds to your peace of mind.  
 
It is wise to rig your boat at home and to familiarize yourself with the lines before your first launch. 
This could save you the embarrassment of a humorous mistake with something misunderstood or the 
disappointment of missing something essential to your sailing.  
 
It is also wise to sail with good judgment on your first few times out. Choose good weather with wind 
conditions near the ideal range of 10 -12 knots. More or less than this could be a frustrating 
experience especially for an inexperienced sailor. Learning the sailing characteristics of an unfamiliar 
rig is difficult in light air and next to impossible in heavy air. 
  
It is our intention to provide you with the basic knowledge to allow you to get off to a good start and 
feel confident in your knowledge of what to expect out of the boat. 
 
Happy Sailing,
