1.3 Introduction
This manual was set up and compiled to make it possible for you
to use your sailing boat in a safe and pleasant way.
Apart from many details regarding the sailing boat itself, the
manual also contains indications about the supplied or fitted
gear and information on its use and maintenance, in addition to
the information given by the manufacturer. Please read the
manual carefully through and get used to it before you go sailing
with your yacht.
We kindly recommend you to make copies of the relevant parts of
the manual and some manufacturer’s information, such as
instructions about maintenance and warning, so as to have them
handy on board in case you need to find out quickly the cause of
a technical fault and repair it.
In case this is your first sailing boat or if you are not yet used to
the special features of a yacht of this size, please try to know
some more about the handling and use of the yacht for your own
safety and comfort, before taking over the command. Your seller
is there to help you with everything you need.
Of course, a prerequisite for a successful sailing trip is that you
have sufficient experience as a sailor, so that you know how to
behave in all kinds of situations.
We hope you will enjoy your new DEHLER 39 and wish you
good luck and safe sailing.
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 safely handle and maintain the
yacht and its systems, identify possible technical faults and sometimes even to repair these
faults himself. The shipyard reserves the right to carry out changes in the equipment and
technique. The systems represented in this manual should not be considered a basis for the
sales contract. In that case you should use the description of the construction given in the
valid price list from which you bought your yacht.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND GIVE IT TO THE
NEW OWNER, IN CASE YOU SELL THE YACHT.

1.4 Stickers - List
List of main indications, made known by stickers.
Observance of the indication stickers is very important for both the boat and its crew. Non-
observance of the indications can lead to the boat’s total loss and problems for the crew. As
the skipper responsible for the boat’s safety you should inform new crew menbers about the
stickers and their meaning.

1.5 Design Category
One of the requirements of the EC Directive on Pleasure Craft is that every boat should
belong to a specific design category.
The yacht type DEHLER 39 belongs to Design Category A.
The Directive describes Design Category A as follows::
Design Category A: High Sea
Designed for longer trips, with possible weather conditions of a force 8 wind or more
(Beaufort Scale) and waves as high as 4 m or more, during which these boats can go on
sailing on their own.
1.6 Identification
For a yacht of this size the EC Directive only foresees the certification model Aa. This means
that the manufacturer certifies the conformity of its construction and equipment with the
directive, but that its stability needs to be tested by a recognized testing institute. The
„Germanische Lloyd“ (Abbreviation GL), one of the testing institutes allowed by the EC
Directive, was in charge of testing, see the Statement of Conformity on page 12.
On the mirror on the fore castle the hull identification number was stamped in a gel coating.
This is a world-wide unique succession of numbers and letters. For example:
DEDEH 65012K900
This successon of numbers and letters comprises the following data:
DE Germany, Country of Origin
DEH Unique Shipyard Code
(the Register is kept by the German Boat and Shipbuilders’Association)
65 Type Name as chosen by the shipyard
12 Conntinous Construction Number

2.6 Electrical system
2.6.1 230 V Alternating current
The Dehler 39 is equipped with a shore connection system to charge the batteries and to
ensure that the hot water supply works even when mooring at a port. Additional 230 V plugs
complete the system.

Manual DEHLER 39
17 - 72
2.6.2 12 V Direct current system
Normal on-board power supply and the supply for navigation lighting, pumps, electric and
electronic gear, night lights and comfort lighting is supplied by a 12 V direct current system.
2.6.3 Battery capacities
The Dehler 39 is equipped with 3 batteries, which are used as consumption and starter
batteries.
• Starter battery 12 V 55 Ah, free of maintenance, leak protection
• The battery is placed under the berth/double berth at the port stern
• Consumption batteries 2 x 12 V 110 Ah, maintenance-free, leak protection
Optional 2 x 12 V 200 Ah, Gel, maintenance-free, leak protection
• The batteries are placed under the berth/double berth at the starboard and port stern in the
storage space under the floor bulkhead..
2.7 Capacity of tanks
1 PE-Fresh water tank 230 l
The tank is installed in the cabin under the port corner cabin quilting
1 PE- Freshwater tank( optional ) 174 l
The tank is placed at the bow under the triangular quiltings
1 stainless steel fuel tank 110 l
The tank is installed in the cabin under the starboard side berth
1 stanless steel holding tank ( optional ) 45 l
The tank is installed on starboard in the closet of the shower room- rear cabin
1 stanless steel holding tank 45 l
(incl. in second shower room. )
To see a detailed description of the different water tanks, see installation schemes on the next
pages.
2.8 Maximum number of persons
The Directive requires to establish a maximum recommended number of persons on-board
when the boat is sailing in its adequate area. The Dehler 39 is designed for off-coast
navigation , that is to say trips of a few days between different ports. Therefore we
recommend you the following::
• In case of sailing journeys of a few days, no more than 8 persons should be on board,
since this is the maximum number of available berths;
• Note: There should be enough life-jackets on board for all persons on the boat.. An
inflatable lifeboat should have enough space for at least 8 persons.
For day trips, if possible not more than 10 persons should be on board, since there is just
enough space for them in the cockpit. For very short trips, the number can be increased.
• Note: There should be enough life-jackets on board for all persons on the boat.

Manual DEHLER 39
18 - 72
2.9 Additional load
The Directive requires the shipyard to recommend the maximum additional load. It
comprises persons, personal equipment, fuel, water and food supplies. It is marked on the
type plate. Maximum additional load for the DEHLER 39 is 2000 kg.
This value was taken as a basis to calculate the yacht’s stability..
2.10 Cranes
In many harbours yachts are taken on land with a crane and hoisting gear. Belts are to be
placed taking into account the solidity of the boat’s build and the distribution of weight. On
the Dehler 39, the recommended bearances are marked on the coaming guard rods The
bearance at the front is A, at about 4.00 m of the bow front and the bearance at the rear is B,
at about 3.00 m of the stern side.
The distance C between these two markings is about 5.00 m. Taking into account these
markings, belts should not be displaced more as:
Rear and front: max. 200 mm forewards or backwards.
