IntroductIon
This manual has been compiled to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the craft,
its systems and operation. It also contains information about the equipment supplied or tted. Read this manual carefully,
and familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.
This owner’s manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your rst craft or if you are unfamiliar with your
type of craft, for your own comfort and safety, obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of the
craft. Your dealer, national sailing federation, or yacht club will advise you of local sea schools or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to your craft’s design category, and that you and your
crew can handle the craft in these conditions.
Even when your boat is categorized for certain sea and wind conditions, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to
the design categories A, B and C range from severe storm conditions to category A, to strong conditions for the top of
categoryC, which is open to the hazards of a freak wave or gust. These are dangerous conditions, and only a competent,
t and trained crew using a well-maintained craft can satisfactorily operate the craft. See Design Specications on page
7 for category.
This owner’s manual is not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. In case of difculty, refer to the boat builder
or the boatbuilder’s authorized representative.
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, repairs or modications. Modications that may affect the
safety characteristics of the craft shall be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. The boat builder
cannot be held responsible for modications that he/she has not approved.
Some countries require a driving license or authorization. Some countries enforce specic regulations.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowances for the deterioration that will occur over time and as a result of
heavy use or misuse of the craft.
Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can become severely damaged if not used properly. Practice safe boating.
Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to sea conditions.
All people should wear a suitable buoyancy aid (life jacket) when on deck. Some countries require all people to wear a
buoyancy aid that complies with their national regulations at all times.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND IT TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
