Any damage caused as a result of an accident, flipping, or unsuitable 

transport methods and means is not covered under the Katalyst 
warranty. 
 

Failure to sail within recommended wind strengths can result in 
damage which is not covered under the Katalyst warranty. For 

recommended sail sizes see the sail chart (inside front cover). 
N.B. Exceeding recommendations can cause property damage, serious 

injury or even death. 
 

Failing to gybe correctly can result in product damage including the 
pulley whip breaking, sail tearing and/or broken downhaul components. 
This is not covered under the Katalyst warranty. Gybing technique is 

discussed in the Sailing section.  
 

To repair a damaged pulley whip see the Maintenance section.

The Hull Identification Number is located on the CE Decal which is 
attached on each transom of your Katalyst. The HIN is a unique 
identifier for each water craft in the world an as such should not be 

removed. For property protection purposes, the manufacturer also 
places the HIN on the vessel on a non-disclosed location. Its location 

will only be made available to law enforcement agencies in case of theft 
or fraud. Katalyst Marine, as all vessel manufacturers, holds records of 

produced units, immediate distributors and country of destination. Take 
a few seconds to record your HIN. It may only take a few seconds but
