INTRODUCTION
This Manual has been produced to help you use your boat safely and enjoyably. It contains details
of the boat, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information about their use. Read it
carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat before using it. Even when your boat is rated for
them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to design categories A, B and C vary from strong
gales to severe conditions, with risks of abnormal waves or gusts, and are therefore dangerous
conditions, where only A trained, experienced crew, in good condition, handling A well-
maintained boat, can sail in A satisfactory manner.
Ensure that forecast wind and sea conditions correspond to the design category of your boat, and
that you and your crew are capable of handling the boat in these conditions.
This Owner's Manual is not a course in sailing safety or seamanship. If this is your first boat, or
you are changing to a type of boat you are unfamiliar with, for your convenience and safety, make
sure you gain experience handling and using it before taking command. Your agent, your national
sailing or cruising federation or your yacht club will be happy to give you information about
sailing schools or qualified instructors in your area.
This Owner's Manual is not a detailed maintenance or repair guide. In the event of problems,
consult the boatbuilder or their representative.
Always employ the services of an experienced professional for maintenance or the fitting of
accessories. Modifications that could affect the characteristics of the boat must be assessed,
performed and documented by qualified personnel. The boatbuilder cannot be held responsible for
modifications made without their approval.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND PASS IT ON TO THE NEW OWNER IF
YOU SELL YOUR BOAT.
NOTICE: Our boats are regularly improved in the light of our customers’ experiences and
research by the shipyard, and so the specifications given in this Owner’s Manual are not
contractually binding and may be changed without notice and without any obligation to update.
This manual is intended to cover as much information as possible, so certain equipment or
paragraphs might not apply to your boat. In case of doubt, please refer to the inventory which
should have been given to you by your agent when you placed your order.

1. DESIGN CATEGORY OF YACHT
Your FEELING 32 comes under the OCEAN-GOING design category (category A).
In normal conditions of use, your boat is designed for sailing with effective wave heights up to 7 m
and winds of Beaufort Force 10 or less, and to withstand the severest conditions.
This sailing capability is equally dependent on the skills of the crew, their physical
capacities, the maintenance of the boat and its equipment.
So always take care before putting to sea.
The boat’s builder, Alliaura Marine, is not able to guarantee perfect functioning of the boat in
exceptional sea conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts, etc.)
