Owner's Manual

Welcome aboard
Madam, Sir,
You have just taken delivery of your new BENETEAU boat and we thank you for the confidence you have shown us in ordering a vessel
of our brand. The whole BENETEAU team welcomes you aboard.
A BENETEAU is made to last, in order to bring you all the pleasure you expect from a vessel over a period of many years. Each boat is
subject to the utmost attention to detail from the design stage right through to launching.
This manual is meant to help you to enjoy your boat comfortably and safely. It includes the boat specifications, the equipment provided or
installed, the systems and tips on her operation and maintenance. Some of the equipment described in this manual may be optional.
Your BENETEAU dealer will be able to help and advise you in the use and maintenance of your boat.
Read this user's guide/owner's manual carefully and get to know your boat before using it.
The better you know your vessel the more pleasure you will get from being at the helm.
The sea is a source for learning. Caution based on a knowledge of one's own limits and those of the boat is the pre-requisite for an
accomplished sailor.
Even when your boat has been adapted for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the design categories A, B, C and D may
vary, ranging from severe conditions to strong storms subject to the risks of exceptional waves and gusts of wind, this meaning they are
dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, fit and well trained crew manoeuvring a well maintained boat can sail in a satisfactory
manner.
This user's guide/owner's manual is not a course in safety at sea or about sailing sense. If this is your first boat or if you change to a new
type of boat which you are not used to, get some training in boat control and sailing to ensure your safety and comfort. Your dealer, your
international sailing association or your yacht club will be very happy to recommend local sailing schools or professional instructors.
Make sure the sea and wind conditions will correspond to the category of your boat and you and your crew are able to handle the
boat in these conditions.
Always listen to the weather forecast before you put out to sea.
Keep this user's guide/owner's manual in a safe place and hand it over to the new owner if you sell your boat.
You are advised to keep all the instructions and manuals provided by the boat equipment manufacturers (accessories...) in
the same place as this manual

Introduction
The users of the boat are informed of the following:
This user guide/owner's manual is not a maintenance or repair guide.
In case of difficulty do not hesitate to call on the services of your
concessionaire BENETEAU.
Any alterations which may affect the safety specifications of the boat
must be assessed, carried out and recorded by persons qualified to do so.
Any change in the distribution of the vessel's mass (adding a radar, altering
the mast, changing an engine, etc) may affect the stability, trim and
performance of your boat.
The BENETEAU shipyards may not be held responsible for any alterations
which they have not approved.
The complete crew must be equipped appropriately.
In numerous countries, a licence, an authorization or a training course
is requested. Make sure you have this legal authorization before you use
your boat.
Adaptthe useofyour boatto hercondition thatwearsout with timeand
use.Any boat, however solid she may be, may be severely damaged if
badly used. This is not compatible with safe navigation. Always adapt the
speed and direction of your boat to the conditions of the sea.
The boat shall not be loaded more with than the maximum load
recommended by the builder, in particular the total weight of the food
supplies, of the different equipment that are not supplied by the builder and
of the persons on board.
The weight of the boat shall be properly distributed.
The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts.
In case of heavy weather, the hatches, lockers and doors shall be
closed in order to minimize the risk of water coming in.
Breaking waves are a serious threat to stability.
The water in the bilge shall be kept at its minimum.
The stability may be reduced when you tow a boat or when you lift
heavy weights with the davits or the boom.
If your boat is equipped with a liferaft, carefully read the instructions.
The boat must have on board all the proper safety equipment (lifejackets,
buoys, harness, flares, liferafts, etc.) depending on the type of vessel, its
certification, the country, the weather conditions encountered, etc.
The crew must be familiar with the use of all the safety equipment and
the emergency safety procedures (MOB, towing etc.). Sailing schools
organise regular training sessions.
Anyone on the deck shall wear a life jacket or a buoyancy aid.
The safety regulations as defined by the sailing code and enforced by the
’’COLREG’’ should be observed.

Introduction
Name plate:
Some of the data is shown on the manufacturer's plate fixed to the
boat. The explanation of the data is given in the appropriate chapters
of this manual.
Identification of vessel:
The vessel's identification is found on the builder's certificate
delivered with the boat and is engraved on the starboard aft side.
So as to be able to continuously improve their product the
BENETEAU shipyards reserve the right to make any alterations in
design, layout or equipment which they judge necessary.
That is the reason why the specifications and information given are
not contractual, they may be modified without prior notice or up dates.
This owner's manual is designed in accordance with the ISO 10240
standard requirements, it has a general purpose and it may
sometimes list some equipment or accessories or deal with some
points or questions that are not relevant to your own boat.
Thedifferentwarningsusedthroughoutthisguideare broken down as
follows.

Category A: At high sea
This craft is designed to operate in winds that may exceed wind force 8
(Beaufort scale) and in significant wave heights of 4 m and above.
This craft is largely self-sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as
hurricanes are excluded.
Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages, for
example across oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from the wind
and waves for several hundred nautical miles.
Category B: In open sea
This craft is designed tooperate in winds up to Beaufort force 8 and the
associated wave heights (significant wave height up to4 m, see Note 1
below).
Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages ofsufficient
length,oron coastalwaterswhen unshelteredfromthe windand waves
for several dozens of nautical miles.
These conditions may also be experienced on inland seas of sufficient
size for the wave height to be generated.
Category C: Near to the coast
This craft is designed tooperate in winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the
associated wave heights (significant wave height up to2 m, see Note 1
below). You may meet with such conditions in exposed inland waters,
in estuaries and in coastal waters with moderate weather conditions.
Category D: In sheltered waters
This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 4 and the
associated wave heights (occasional maximum waves of 0,5 m height).
Such conditions may be encountered in sheltered inland waters, and in
coastal waters in fine weather.
NOTE:
- The significant wave height is the mean height of the highest one-
thirdof thewaves, whichapproximatelycorresponds to thewaveheight
estimated by an experienced observer. Some waves will be double this
height.
- The creation of different design categories results from the need to
distinguishbetweendifferentlevelsof risk accordingto theconstruction
of the boats.
The parameters for the characteristics are established to define the
conditions of navigation which each category may encounter; they
serve purely to evaluate the boat designs and are not to be used to limit
the geographical areas in which these boats may operate.
- One boat may be classed in several design categories at the same
time, each with their different maximum capabilities.
