NB: Any change in the weight distribution on board (for example, the addition of, radar or a
reefing mast, changing an engine, etc.) can affect the stability, trim and performance of your
vessel.
Users of this vessel are advised that:
- All the crew must receive appropriate training;
- The vessel must not be loaded beyond the maximum load recommended by the
manufacturer;
- Any water in the bilges must be kept to a minimum;
- Stability is reduced when weight is added to the tops;
- In the event of heavy weather, the hatch covers, lockers and doors must be closed to
minimise the risk of water penetrating;
- Stability may be reduced when towing a vessel or lifting heavy weights using davits or the
boom;
- Breaking waves represent a significant danger to stability;
- In certain countries, a navigation licence or authorisation is required or specific
regulations are in force.
Always maintain your vessel correctly and note any deterioration caused by the weather or
heavy or inappropriate use of the vessel.
Any vessel – however robust – can be severely damaged if it is wrongly used. This is not
compatible with safe navigation. Always adapt the vessel’s speed and direction to the sea and wind
conditions.
If your vessel is equipped with a life raft, read its instruction manual carefully. The crew must
be familiar with the use of all the safety equipment (safety harness, signal rockets, life raft, etc.) and
the emergency operations (recovering someone from the sea, towing, etc.): sailing schools and clubs
regularly organise training sessions.
Please keep this manual in a safe place and pass it on to the new owner if you sell the vessel.
PLEASE NOTE
We make regular improvements to our vessels based on our customers’ experiences and research
conducted by the shipyard: the specifications in this owner’s manual are therefore not contractual
and may be modified without notice and without any requirement to update this manual.
The manual is designed to cover a maximum amount of information and some paragraphs and
equipment may not concern your vessel. If you are in any doubt, please refer to the inventory that
your dealer must have supplied you with when you placed your order.
