This manual is written to help you enjoy your boat in safety. It contains details of the boat
and of all the equipment provided and installed on your boat, as well as instructions for its use.
Read it carefully and get to know your boat properly before using it.
This owner's manual is not in any way a navigation or mariner's training manual. If this is
your first boat or if you have changed to a type of boat with which you are not familiar, make
sure that you learn how to use it and manoeuvre safely and with ease before taking the helm
alone. Your dealer, national sailing or motorboat association, or yacht club will be very happy
to tell you about navigation schools or qualified instructors in your area.
Make sure that the wind and sea conditions forecast are appropriate for the design
category of your boat and that you and your crew are capable of manoeuvering the boat in
these conditions.
Even with a well-adapted boat, the wind and sea conditions which correspond to the
design categories A,B and C range from storm force winds for category A to severe storm
conditions at the upper end of category C, and could put the boat at risk from very large waves
and strong gusts. These are dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, fit and well-
trained crew, manoeuvring a well-maintained boat, will be able to navigate with sufficient skill.
This owner's manual is not intended as a detailed maintenance or repairs manual. Should
any problems arise please contact your dealer. If a maintenance manual is provided, please
use it.
Always use the services of an experienced professional for the maintenance of your boat,
for fitting accessories and for any modifications. Any alterations which may affect the safety
specifications of the boat must be assessed, carried out and recorded by persons qualified to
do so. The boat manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any modifications not approved
by them.
Some countries require you to hold a Certificate of Competency or other such
qualifications, or there may be other specific regulations in force.
Always maintain your boat well and make note of any deterioration due to wear and tear
or to heavy or inappropriate use.
Any boat – no matter how well-built – could suffer serious damage if used recklessly. This
kind of use is highly unsafe. Always adjust the speed and heading of your boat according to the
sea conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a life-raft, read the instruction manual carefully. The crew
must have all safety gear available onboard (lifejackets, harnesses etc.), and this must
appropriate for the type of boat and for the weather conditions. In some countries it is
mandatory to have this safety equipment onboard. The crew must be fully familiarised with the
use of the safety gear and with emergency manoeuvres (man overboard procedures, towing
another vessel etc). Sailing schools and clubs regularly run training sessions for these skills.
It is strongly advised that everyone wears an appropriate flotation device (lifejacket or
personal buoyancy aid) when on deck. Be advised that in some countries it is mandatory to
wear a flotation device which meets the national regulations at all times.
