This manual has been compiled to help you operate your boat with safety 
and pleasure. It contains details of the craft, typical equipment supplied 
or fi tted, its systems and information on its operation and maintenance. 
Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with your boat before us-
ing it.

If this is your fi rst boat, or you are changing to a new type, for your own 

comfort and safety please ensure that you obtain handling and operat-
ing experience before “assuming command” of the boat. Your dealer or 
national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of 
local sea schools or competent instructors.

Please keep this manual in a secure place and hand it over to the 
new owner when you sell the craft.

For a complete list of standard and optional features and equipment, consult your local Chaparral dealer. Due to a policy of continual product improvement, specifi cations are subject 
to change without notice. The weights and volumes shown are estimated and can vary from boat to boat because of equipment, etc. Chaparral boats meet or exceed both NMMA and 

U.S. Coast Guard standards.
