CONGRATULATIONS FOR BUYING YOUR DINGHY TRIBORD 5S FROM DECATHLON !
• This manual has been designed to help you use your boat safely and enjoy it! It contains details of the boat, equipment supplied or fitted and systems, as well as infor-
mation on how to use them. Read it carefully and get to know the boat before you use it.
This owner’s manual is not a lesson in sailing safety or seamanship. If it is your first boat or you have changed for a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your comfort
and safety, make sure that you acquire the experience handling and using it before taking its command. Our stores, your national sailing authority or yacht club will be
happy to inform you on your local sailing schools or competent instructors in your area.
• Check that your boat’s design category is suitable for the forecasted wind and sea conditions and that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in those
• conditions. Find out about local regulations and dangers to navigation.
• This manual contains information required for the usual maintenance of the boat, you must refer to it to ensure your safety and durability of your boat.
• If you have any doubt on the maintenance and repair of your craft, contact our after-sales service, who will support you.
• Modifications that may affect the safety features of your boat must be planned, made and documented by competent staff. The boat manufacturer cannot be held liable
for modifications that they have not approved.
In some countries, a sailing permit or authorisation is required, or specific legislation applies.
Always maintain your boat correctly and take into account wear and tear over time or frequent or inappropriate use, if relevant.
Any boat – no matter how durable – can be severely damaged if it is misused. It is not compatible with safe sailing. Always adapt the speed and direction of your boat to
sea conditions.
• The crew on-board should have all the safety equipment (lifejackets or buoyancy vests, a paddle, etc) suitable for the type of boat and weather conditions, etc. This
equipment is compulsory in some countries. The crew should be familiar with the use of safety equipment and emergency safety manoeuvres (man overboard recovery,
towing, etc.); sailing schools and clubs regularly organise training sessions.
• It is recommended that all people wear appropriate buoyancy vests (lifejacket, personal buoyancy aid) when they are on the boat. Note that in some countries, it is
compulsory to wear a buoyancy vest that complies with national regulations.
PLEASE STORE THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE SPACE AND HAND IT TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE BOAT
