2.1 About the manual
These guides offer important warnings about safety and your responsibility as the vessel’s
owner. All the information provided in this publi ation is based on the latest information
available at the time of printing. Due to our poli y of ontinuous produ t improvement, we
reserve the right to apply hanges at any time and without prior noti e in the spe ifi ation
of the models as well as in ase of an ellation of any models. Furthermore, we reserve
the right to hange the spe ifi ations, the omponents or additional equipment whenever
and without any obligations to models produ ed prior the date of su h hanges. Alfastreet
Marine re ommends a periodi al visit of our website www.alfastreet-marine.si, where you
an find additional and new information as well as the FAQ se tion.
What this manual does not gives you is a ourse in boating safety, or how to navigate,
an hor, or do k your boat. Operating a power boat safely requires more skills, knowledge,
and awareness than is ne essary for a ar or tru k. For safe navigation the ourse in
boating safety and boat manoeuvring is obligatory! Please onta t your state authorities
for more informations.
2.1.1 Wa ning signs and symbols
The manual also provides warning signs. These have different meanings and levels of
importan e, it is therefore ne essary to arefully read the ontent of the three warning
signs below.
2.2 Othe manufactu e 's use guides
The vessel 23OPEN features equipment and various omponents from different
manufa turers. The equipment and the omponents are only mentioned in this manual as
all the manuals, user guides, warranty statements and detailed information on the
equipment and the omponents are olle ted in a spe ial folder (Additional equipment). If
you miss any do ument that you think should a ompany the vessel, please onta t your
vendor or all Alfrastreet d.o.o. on the phone number [phone].
2.3 You esponsibilities
As the owner of the vessel and a parti ipant in the traffi on water, you are responsible for
the navigation safety, the traffi safety and the safety of the passengers on board. You

23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
should espe ially take into a ount how to:
•in rease of the safety at navigation
•learn how to navigate
•redu e your risk of ollision and injuries at sea,
•obtain all registration do uments. ( onta t state authorities for spe ifi ations)
•expand your navigation area,
2.3.1 Navigation ability
Reading, understanding and using this user guide is just as important as learning to
adequately ontrol the vessel. This publi ation IS NOT a ourse on safe navigation and is
also NOT a manual on how to operate, how to an hor and how to tie the vessel. A safe
ontrol of the vessel requires more skills, knowledge and awareness than is required for
driving a ar or lorry.
As the driver, owner and user of the vessel you are responsible for it, therefore it is
ne essary to inform yourself on safety and omplete a ourse on safe navigation.
Furthermore, inform yourself on the orre t handling of the vessel in ase of emergen y.
As the vessel traffi in losed seas is denser, you should also learn the rules of operating,
avoiding and manoeuvring the vessel.
2.3.2 Regist ation of the vessel
Every vessel needs to be in luded in the register before its first departure. This is arried
out in the offi e authorised for the registration of vessels (usualy Ministry of Maritime
Affairs). Informations, about registration of the vessel, an also be given by lo al
Alfastreet's representative. It is imperative that the registration is done before the first
departure. Apart from the registration in the ountry in whi h the vessel is most ommonly
used, it is also ne essary, in the event of navigating into the seas of another ountry, to
inform yourself on a possible additional registration of the vessel, as it is required by some
ountries. The easiest option to do this is at the offi e whi h issues the navigation permit.
2.3.3 Vessel catego ies
The vessels are divided into four ategories, a ording to their navigation apa ity in
various weather onditions:
A. O ean navigation area
Highest wind speed: over 40 knots (over 20.6 m/s)
Wave height: over 4m
The vessel an navigate in the o ean.
B. Offshore navigation area
Highest wind speed: up to 40 knots (up to 20.6 m/s)
Wave height: up to 4m
The vessel an navigate in the high seas.
C. Inshore navigation area
Highest wind speed: up to 27 knots (up to 13.9 m/s)
Wave height: up to 2m
www.alfastreet-marine. om 8

23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
The vessel an navigate in the oastal area, larger gulfs, lakes and rivers.
D. Sheltered oastal area
Highest wind speed: up to 15 knots (up to 7.7 m/s)
Wave height: up to 0.5m
The vessel an navigate in smaller lakes, rivers and anals.
Your vessel 23OPEN satisfies the requirements of the ategory C.
The information means that you would be able to safely navigate with your vessel in su h
weather onditions. But it is still very important that you inform yourself on the weather
onditions before departure, in order to avoid storms or other weather in onvenien es. It
is also ne essary to be aware of any hange of weather during the navigation, as bad
weather, high waves et . an at h you very qui kly, whi h an seriously threaten your
safety as well as the safety of your passengers.
2.3.4 Weathe conditions:
Before and during the navigation you should pay spe ial attention to the following:
•inform yourself on the weather fore ast and weather onditions at sea before your
departure from the marina,
•a sudden hange in the wind speed or dire tion as well as in the wave height an
signal a fast deterioration of the weather,
•if you noti e a storm approa hing, navigate immediately to the nearest marina or
quay,
•if you are surprised by a storm during the navigation, make sure all passengers are
seated and dire t the prow towards the wind maintaining enough speed to slowly
move forward,
•he k if all passengers on board have an adequate life ja ket,
•if you navigate into a dense fog, determine your position, lower your speed and
warn other vessels of your presen e,
•when a thunderstorm is approa hing, it is very important to tie the vessel along the
oast as qui kly as possible and disembark. Do not stay in the water during the
lightning, as that would in rease your possibility of being stru k.
Safety in water traffi
The water surfa e does not feature any road lanes, indi ators or similar help found in road
traffi . Therefore the vessel’s driver must be even more aware of all sides of the vessel
and not just the dire tion of navigation.
Failure to onsider safety rules and negligen e an qui kly lead to serious injuries of the
people on board or even death, as the onsequen e of a idents.

DANGER
If the weather fore ast is
bad, do not departure.
Bad weather onditions

23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
2.3.5 Gene al navigation safety ules
Always be aware of your surrounding during the navigation and follow these rules:
•Always ondu t the vessel with an adequate speed, whi h ensures a safe navigation
for all passengers on board,
•Always pay attention to the traffi in the dire tion of navigation ad well as around
the vessel, espe ially before you hange the dire tion of navigation.
•Redu e the speed of the vessel, pay attention to its surrounding, not only the
dire tion of navigation, and turn on the vessel’s navigation lights when:
- the visibility is redu ed,
- in turbulent water (waves),
- in dense traffi .
•Always departure after getting enough sleep or after enough rest. In ase you fall
asleep when ontrolling the vessel, you an ause it to sink or rash into another
vessel or parti ipant in the traffi on water. You are also fully responsible for the
damage aused by falling asleep during the navigation.
•The vessel features a red and green navigation lights in the orners, and an an hor
light on the ba k of the roof. The navigation and an hor lights must be swit hed on
whenever the vessel is moving, the weather deteriorates or during the navigation at
night.
•When an horing on a spot whi h ould be on the navigational route of another
vessel, swit h on the an hor light lo ated on the vessel’s roof, whi h is visible 360o
around the vessel.
The driver of the vessel must always pay attention to the vessels approa hing from all
sides. He must also pay attention to the bathers, partly sunk wre ks and other obje ts in
water whi h are dangerous to the navigation (trunks, reefs, shallows, strong urrents,
et ). The passengers on your vessel rely on you to take are of their safety and the safety
of the navigation by maintaining an adequate speed and by respe ting the navigation
safety rules. You should also make sure that you do not expose your passengers to danger
with qui k manoeuvres, su h as turning, sudden in reasing or redu ing of the speed.
During weather hanges or redu ing daylight that result in low visibility, you must adjust
the speed of the vessel to the momentary navigational onditions. By doing so, you gain
enough time and spa e to avoid danger.
2.3.6 Planing the navigational oute
In order to avoid navigating in dangerous waters with potentially dangerous reefs, sunken
obje ts, shallows, dangerous urrents and similar perils, it is ne essary to prepare, prior to
your departure, a detailed navigational oute whi h you plan to follow.
During the planing of the route you should use adequate navigational tools whi h you
know how to use and understand their importan e. You should also take into a ount the
guidelines of experien ed guides and sailors and onsider the most appropriate time of
navigation for your navigational route area (tide). In ase of navigating in unknown
waters, without knowing the possible dangers, navigate with low speed and arefully
observe the surrounding area as well as the dire tion of navigation, in order to avoid any
www.alfastreet-marine. om 10

23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
potentially dangerous situations.
Make sure that others know where you are.
Therefore, before departure inform your family members and friends about the following:
•the planned dire tion of your navigation,
•the envisaged date and time of return,
•the des ription of the vessel,
•the number and age of passengers on board
In ase of emergen y these information an be transferred to the oastal station or the
res ue boat rew whi h will be sent to help you, thus, onsiderably in reasing the
possibilities of your res ue and limiting the possibilities of serious injuries of the
passengers. It is also important to inform them about your arrival to the destination, as
failure to do so ould result in a false alarm!
2.4 Supplie 's esponsibilities
The supplier guarantees the vessel with the determined equipment, servi e and
examination of the boat before the supply and at any time after the supply as well as the
possibility of omplaint in ase of proven defe ts on the vessel. Furthermore, he offers an
illustration and presentation of the safety requirements, signs, pro edures and instruments
as well as an explanation and, if ne essary, an illustration of the basi pro edures for
ontrolling the vessel. The supplier also examines with the lient all the information about
the warranty, explains what to do in ase of breakdowns and how to obtain a warranty
servi e. Moreover, he provides the omplete user guides.
If you do not re eive all the equipment or if you have problems with the vessel and you
wish file a warranty laim, all your supplier or the supplier of the defe tive omponent.

3 THE COMMON SENSE PRINCIPLE
Dear ustomer – user
The manufa turer, distributor, designer, onstru tor, boat examiner and others who
ontributed in any way to the realization of the vessel and writing of this manual,
guarantee to have put the maximum effort into these extensive guides for the safe use of
the vessel 23OPEN and to have in luded all possible situations and problems that you
ould en ounter in the role of the owner and user of the vessel, both on land and on
water. Nevertheless, there are various examples or series of events that were not
des ribed in this manual or that were des ribed in a different form.
Therefore, all the above mentioned persons involved in the proje t of building your vessel
appeal to you, to take into a ount when using your vessel not only the guides from this
manual but also the very important PRINCIPLE OF COMMON SENSE! Navigation an be a
fantasti and unique experien e whi h an also lead to tragedies if the safety rules are not
respe ted. Always bear in mind to departure after enough sleep and rest and with
responsibility towards yourself and the people around you.
This prin iple should be respe ted always and everywhere, but we would like to ask the
users, to fully respe t the said prin iple espe ially when using this vessel.
Always onsider the safety of all the enthusiasts of water-related a tivities.
4 SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of your passengers depend on the way you operate with and
maintain the vessel. Reading and understanding the entire manual is therefore ne essary
for anyone who shall operate the vessel, in order to a hieve a safe navigation. It is also
ne essary to take into a ount all the additional guidelines provided by the manufa turer
or the supplier. On top of that, you need to make sure that you understand the importan e
and fun tion of all instruments and buttons featured on the dashboard of the vessel prior
to your departure.
An in orre t use of the vessel is dangerous. The present hapter offers a des ription of the
most important safety rules, whi h must be observed before, during and after the
navigation.
4.1 Gene al safety measu es
Make sure that all passengers on board of the vessel are aware of and apply the basi
safety measures and rules of this manual. The safety of the navigation begins by knowing
the dangers whi h an o ur during the navigation and by respe ting all the safety rules

23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
4.2 Ca bon monoxide (pet ol, diesel o hyb id engine)
When vessel's motor is running it produ es arbon monoxide (as exhaust gas). Carbon
monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas whi h you an not smell or taste. CO a ts a lot like air. It
doesn’t rise or fall but spreads evenly throughout an en losed spa e. CO omes in through
your lungs and uts off the oxygen supply to your body, ausing death in minutes. Be
alert! Symptoms in lude heada hes, nausea and fatigue — but you might think you are
just seasi k or have the flu. A tail wind an easily arry CO ba k on board.
Dangerous on entration of arbon monoxide an be present when:
•air presure is low
•a nerby vessel's engine is running
•insuffi ent air flow is presend (in losed roof)
•strong tail wind
Pre autions to avoid dangerous on entrations of arbon monoxide (CO):
•open the roof door and lift the roof roof before a esing to the de k
•when motor is running, passengers are not allowed to be seatd on swimming
platform
•when motor is running, swimmers are not allowed to swim near the engine
•do not go under the boat engine over with the engine running or shortly after the
engine has been running.
4.3 Safe navigation
Many boat a idents are often aused by la k of knowledge, failure to respe t the safety
rules and measures by the drivers of the vessels and their passengers. A orre t handling
of the vessel, a prompt identifi ation of potential dangers and the appli ation of the safety
measures an help to avoid and prevent many dangerous situations.
www.alfastreet-marine. om 15
WARNING
Failure to onsider the guidelines related to safety of the
navigation an lead to a idents with serious or even tragi
onsequen es. Always use the vessel ons iously, arefully and
with full responibility towards yourself and the passengres on
board, when the vessel is in motion or not.
!
!DANGER
Carbon monoxide is high
dangerous gas, and an ause
brain damage or death.

23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
Main safety guidelines:
•An in orre t use of the vessel is very dangerous! The driver of the vessel must read
and understand all the manuals en losed with the vessel.
•The vessel’s equipment must be in a ordan e to the lo al regulations and laws of

4.6 Rescue equipment
Even very good swimmers an be ome qui kly tired and drown due to exhaustion,
hypothermia or both. Thanks to the res ue equipment, the person who fell into the water
an keep himself above the surfa e of the water with onsiderably less effort and
unne essary use of body temperature. This raises the han es of survival signifi antly. The
driver of the vessel must make sure that there is one life ja ket for ea h person on board.
Before ea h navigation, he must also indi ate to the passengers on board where the life
ja kets are and how to use them properly. The life ja kets must be on easy rea h. The
best option would be if the life ja kets would be worn by the passengers during the
navigation. Before pur hasing the life ja kets, make sure that they feature all the
ertifi ates of suitability. It is also ne essary to he k at least on e a year their floatation
and look for any damages.
4.7 Eme gency situations
In order to avoid navigating into dangerous areas, sunken wre kages, shallows, dangerous
urrents and similar, it is ne essary to plan a navigational oute, by using adequate
nauti al maps and navigational tools properly and by taking into a ount the guidelines of
experien ed drivers and sailors as well as the weather hanges and the tide. If you
navigate in unknown waters, redu e the speed of the navigation and pay attention to the
surroundings in order to avoid ollision with another vessel or ay dangers in the water.
