INTRODUCTION
THE USERS OF THE BOAT ARE INFORMED OF THE FOLLOWING:
This user guide/owner's manual is not a maintenance or repair guide. In case of difficulty do not
hesitate to call on the services of your concessionaire JEANNEAU.
Any alterations which may affect the safety specifications of the boat must be assessed, carried out
and recorded by persons qualified to do so. Any change in the distribution of the vessel's mass (adding
a radar, altering the mast, changing an engine, etc) may affect the stability, trim and performance of your
boat.
The SPBI shipyards may not be held responsible for any alterations which they have not approved.
The complete crew must be equipped appropriately.
In numerous countries, a licence, an authorization or a training course is requested. Make sure you
have this legal authorization before you use your boat.
Adapt the use of your boat to her condition that wears out with time and use.
Any boat, however solid she may be, may be severely damaged if badly used. This is not compatible
with a secure navigation. Always adapt the speed and direction of your boat to the conditions of the sea.
The boat shall not be loaded more with than the maximum load recommended by the builder, in
particular the total weight of the food supplies, of the different equipment that are not supplied by the
builder and of the persons on board.
The weight of the boat shall be properly distributed.
The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts.
In case of heavy weather, the hatches, lockers and doors shall be closed in order to minimize the
risk of water coming in.
Breakers are serious dangers to stability.
The water in the bilge shall be kept at its minimum.
The stability may be reduced when you tow a boat or when you lift heavy weights with the davits
or the boom.
If your boat is equipped with a liferaft, carefully read the instructions. The boat must have on board
all the proper safety equipment (lifejackets, buoys, harness, flares, liferafts, etc.) depending on the type
of vessel, its certification, the country, the weather conditions encountered, etc.
The crew must be familiar with the use of all the safety equipment and the emergency safety
procedures (MOB, towing etc.). Sailing schools organise regular training sessions.
