4.2. Insurance
Boat insurance can compensate damage occurring on water or during transport and lifting. Check
who has insurance liability each time when having the boat lifted. Insurance also has an indirect
effect on safety at sea: In the event of a serious accident or damage, you must, above all, concen-
trate on saving people. Insurance companies will be able to give more information about different
insurance alternatives. Check who has insurance liability each time when having the boat lifted or
transported!
4.3. Training
No one is a born sailor. There is plenty of boating literature available. Navigation courses are ar-
ranged by local yacht clubs or national boating associations where you can gain basic skills.
However, please remember that you only become confident in boat handling, navigation, docking
and anchoring after long practical experience.
5. Characteristics and use of your boat
5.1. Basic data
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D) under the Recre-
ational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU. This boat has been constructed according to design category C.
The meanings of the various design categories are explained below.
Category A:
The boat is built for conditions where wind speed can exceed 8 Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s), and
where the significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) can exceed 4 metres. In such
circumstances the boats are largely self-sufficient. Category A does not include abnormal condi-
tions such as hurricanes. Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages, for example
when crossing oceans, or in coastal areas where there is an open expanse of sea for several hun-
dred nautical miles off the coast.
Category B:
The boat is built for conditions where wind speeds can reach a maximum of 8 Beaufort (approx. 21
m/s), and where the corresponding significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) is 4
metres at most. Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length, or
on coastal waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several dozens of nautical miles.
These conditions may also be experienced on inland seas of sufficient size for the wave height to
be generated.
Category C:
The boat is built for conditions where wind speeds can reach a maximum of 6 Beaufort (approx. 14
m/s), and where the corresponding significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) is 2
metres at most. Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in
coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D:
The boat is built for conditions where wind speeds can reach a maximum of 4 Beaufort (approx.
8 m/s), and for corresponding seas (significant wave height does not exceed 0.3 metres, and the
height of the greatest waves does not exceed 0.5 metres). Such conditions may be encountered on
protected inland waters, and in coastal areas during fine weather conditions.
