Boat design category according to ISO 10240 :
Category A : Craft design to operate in winds that may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale )
and in significant wave heights of 4 meters and above, and is largely self-sufficient. Abnormal
conditions such as hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions may be encountered on extended
voyages, for example accross oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from the wind and waves for
several hundred nautical miles.
Category B : Craft designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 8 and the essociated wave
heights (up to 4 meters included ). 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 nautical miles. These conditions may also be experienced on inland seas of sufficient
size for the wave height to be generated.
Category C : Craft designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the associated wave
heights (significant wave height up to 2 meters ). Susch conditions may be encounterd in ex-
posed internal waters, in estuary or in coastal waters with moderate weather conditions.
Category D : Craft designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 4 and the associated wave
heights (significant wave height up to 0,5 meters). Such conditions may be encountered in pro-
tected internal waters and in coastal waters with good weather conditions.

Instructions to install the floorboard in the foldables models
When you purchase a new slatted floor tender from 3D Tender, the floor boards are already in-
stalled in the boat bottom. To prepare your boat, you only need to inflate your tube as described
in the operation section of this manual. If you need to remove the floor and reinstall it by your-
self, please follow the instructions below :
- Make sure the boat is deflated when you want to take out or install the floor boards.
- Take the board “part1” and push it trhough the belt in the middle. Repeat operation for part 2,
3 and 4.
- Insert all the boards and make sure they are in the same position as part 1 shown in the draw-
ing below.
- Inflate tube.
- Close the valves.
