1.3 Introduction
This manual has been written and compiled to make it possible
for you to use your sailing yacht, a DEHLER 34, in a safe and
pleasant way.
Apart from many details regarding the yacht itself, the manual
also contains details about the equipment supplied or integrated
fittings and information on its use and maintenance, in addition
to the information given by the manufacturer. Please read the
manual through carefully and get familiar with everything before
you go sailing with your yacht.
We recommend that you make copies of the important parts of
the manual and of some of the manufacturer’s information, such
as instructions about maintenance and warnings, so as to have
them handy on board in case you need to find out the cause of a
technical fault quickly and remedy it.
We hope you will enjoy your new DEHLER 34 and wish you
good luck and safe sailing.
An owner’s manual however can never replace the knowledge of seamanship which is
necessary.
An Owner’s Manual is a technical document which gives you a general description of the
yacht and its technical systems. It helps the skipper/sailor to handle and maintain the yacht
and its systems safely, identify possible technical faults and sometimes even to rectify these
faults himself. Furthermore it is to the advantage of the owner to undertake maintenance and
servicing of the Dehler 34 and thus maintain its value.
The shipyard reserves the right to carry out changes in equipment and technique. The systems
represented in this manual should not be considered a basis for the sales contract. In this
respect you should use the construction specifications and the relevant price list for the
purchase of your yacht.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND GIVE IT TO THE
NEW OWNER, IF YOU SELL THE YACHT.
