1.1 WELCOME
Before taking the helm, you should have a working knowledge of the
operational characteristics of your yacht, sufficient marine experience to
take charge of its operation, and the skill to navigate the waters in which
you intend to cruise. You must become familiar with the yacht’s systems
and their operation. Your personal safety and that of your guests, as well
as that of your yacht, are your responsibility.
No single book can cover all the aspects of pleasure boating and
seamanship, but your BERTRAM Owner’s Manual is a key resource for
learning about your yacht and its equipment, and for acquiring an
understanding of its operational characteristics and maintenance
requirements.
Additional information pertaining to the equipment installed on your boat
is provided by the manufacturers of the equipment and is located in the
owner’s information case, which was placed aboard before delivery. It is
very important that you study these manuals and understand the
operation of all of the systems.
By providing you with the information you need to maintain the yacht and
to operate it safely, the manual will enhance your enjoyment of your
yacht. It contains details about the yacht and its systems and equipment,
as well as information about practical use and maintenance. To become
acquainted with your yacht before going to sea for the first time, we
recommend that you read this manual carefully and consult it frequently
in the future.
