Boating Experience
This manual has been compiled to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains
details of the craft, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information on their operation,
set up, maintenance, prevention of risks and management of those risks. Please read carefully and
familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.
Follow the rules of the road;
WELCOME
This owner's manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first craft, or if
you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please
ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of the craft.
It is the boat owner/operator's responsibility to:
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, repair or modifications. Modifications 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 modifications that boat builder has
not approved.
Responsibility
In some countries, a driving licence or authorization is required, or specific regulations are in force
and carriage requirements may be subject to local regulations.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design
category of your boat and that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in
these conditions;
Know the limitations of your boat;
Any boat dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of local sea
schools, or competent instructors.
This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble-shooting guide. In the case of difficulty,
refer to the boat builder or boat builder's representative. If a maintenance manual is provided, use it
for the craft's maintenance.
Even when your boat is categorized for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the
design categories A, B and C range from severe gale conditions for category A, to strong conditions
for the top of category C, open to the hazards of a freak wave or gust. These are therefore dangerous
conditions, where only a competent, fit and trained crew using a well-maintained craft can
satisfactorily operate.
