MANUFACTURER PLATE
The indications marked on the manufacturer plate located on the aft transom are important.
They principally indicate the limitations imposed by the standards in force in most countries and by the
type of use for which the boat was designed.
Some of our boats have the ability to sail with three different models of floors:
1. inflatable floorboard (HPP)
2. rigid floor
3. roll-up floor
In this case, the owner is required to declare the floor type selected to the maritime authorities
to allow them to draw up the documents to this effect.
If the floor is changed with characteristics changing during the use of the boat, the owner is required to
redeclare this amendment to the maritime authorities to allow them to correct the documents.
The indications provided are not an all-inclusive list: sailing requirements (boat mandatory safety
outfitting, maximum authorized distance from a shelter, etc.) may vary from one country or State to
another. Always acquaint yourself with and comply with the national and local regulations of the
country in whose coastal waters you are sailing.
