INTRODUCTION
Welcome!
You have just been delivered your new JEANNEAU boat and we thank you for the confidence
you have shown in us by ordering from our brand. The whole JEANNEAU team welcomes you
on board.
A JEANNEAU is made to last and to bring you all the pleasure you should expect from a boat
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 designed to help you to enjoy your boat comfortably and safely. It includes the
boat's specifications, the equipment provided or installed, information on the boat's systems
and some tips on operation and maintenance. Some of the equipment described in this manual
may be optional.
Your JEANNEAU dealer will be able to help and advise you on the use and maintenance of
your boat.
The first time you use your boat a high level of skill and attention will be required. The proper
functioning of all equipment will depend on the initial set-up being carried out correctly. For this
reason the first launch must be carried out under your dealer's supervision.
Read this Owner's Manual carefully and take the time to get to know your boat before
you use it.
The better you know your vessel the more pleasure you will get from sailing it.
Keep this manual somewhere safe and pass it on to the new owner should you sell
your boat..
You are advised to keep any user's guides supplied by the manufacturers of any
equipment for your boat (accessories, etc.), together with your manual.
For each piece of equipment on your boat,
please read the instruction manuals provided by the manufacturer.

197895 RCD-2
Index B
This manual is written to help you enjoy your boat in safety. It contains details of the boat
and of all the equipment provided and installed on your boat, as well as instructions for its use.
Read it carefully and get to know your boat properly before using it.
This owner's manual is not in any way a navigation or mariner's training manual. If this is
your first boat or if you have changed to a type of boat with which you are not familiar, make
sure that you learn how to use it and manoeuvre safely and with ease before taking the helm
alone. Your dealer, national sailing or motorboat association, or yacht club will be very happy
to tell you about navigation schools or qualified instructors in your area.
Make sure that the wind and sea conditions forecast are appropriate for the design
category of your boat and that you and your crew are capable of manoeuvering the boat in
these conditions.
Even with a well-adapted boat, the wind and sea conditions which correspond to the
design categories A,B and C range from storm force winds for category A to severe storm
conditions at the upper end of category C, and could put the boat at risk from very large waves
and strong gusts. These are dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, fit and well-
trained crew, manoeuvring a well-maintained boat, will be able to navigate with sufficient skill.
This owner's manual is not intended as a detailed maintenance or repairs manual. Should
any problems arise please contact your dealer. If a maintenance manual is provided, please
use it.
Always use the services of an experienced professional for the maintenance of your boat,
for fitting accessories and for any modifications. Any alterations which may affect the safety
specifications of the boat must be assessed, carried out and recorded by persons qualified to
do so. The boat manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any modifications not approved
by them.
Some countries require you to hold a Certificate of Competency or other such
qualifications, or there may be other specific regulations in force.
Always maintain your boat well and make note of any deterioration due to wear and tear
or to heavy or inappropriate use.
Any boat – no matter how well-built – could suffer serious damage if used recklessly. This
kind of use is highly unsafe. Always adjust the speed and heading of your boat according to the
sea conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a life-raft, read the instruction manual carefully. The crew
must have all safety gear available onboard (lifejackets, harnesses etc.), and this must
appropriate for the type of boat and for the weather conditions. In some countries it is
mandatory to have this safety equipment onboard. The crew must be fully familiarised with the
use of the safety gear and with emergency manoeuvres (man overboard procedures, towing
another vessel etc). Sailing schools and clubs regularly run training sessions for these skills.
It is strongly advised that everyone wears an appropriate flotation device (lifejacket or
personal buoyancy aid) when on deck. Be advised that in some countries it is mandatory to
wear a flotation device which meets the national regulations at all times.

If some of those onboard are children, the total number of people allowed onboard may be
increased, provided that:
- The total weight of the children does not exceed 37,5kg;
AND THAT
- the total weight of all allowed onboard (based on about 75kg per adult) is not exceeded.
2.1 DESIGN CATEGORIES
Category A:
A yacht of design category A is considered to be designed for wind that may exceed force 8
(on the Beaufort scale) and waves that can exceed a significant height of 4 metres, but
excluding exceptional conditions such as storms, severe storms, tornadoes and extreme sea
conditions or very large waves.
Category B:
A yacht of design category B is considered to be designed for wind that may go up to force 8
inclusive and waves that can reach a significant height up to 4 metres inclusive.
Category C:
A yacht of design category C is considered to be designed for wind that may go up to force 6
inclusive and waves that can reach a significant height up to 2 metres inclusive.
Category D:
A yacht of design category D is considered to be designed for wind that may go up to force 4
inclusive and waves that can reach a significant height up to 0,3 metres inclusive, with
occasional waves of a maximum height of 0,5 metres.
NOTE: Boats in each category must be designed and built to withstand these
parameters in respect of stability, buoyancy and other relevant essential
requirements, and to have good handling characteristics.
- Do not exceed the recommended maximum number of people onboard.
However many people are onboard, the total, combined load of people and
any gear or equipment must never exceed the recommended maximum load.
- Always use the seats or seating areas provided.
- When loading the boat, never exceed the recommended maximum load.
Always load the boat with care and distribute weight evenly in order to
maintain the optimum trim (more or less horizontal).
- Avoid placing heavy loads high up in the boat.

3 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
3.1 STABILITY INFORMATION
- Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat. The
value of this displacement can be found in the "Technical specifications" paragraph at the
beginning of this manual.
- Any change to the disposal of weight on board (for example, the addition of a raised structure
for fishing, radar, change of engine etc) can noticeably affect the boat's stability, trim and
performance;
- It is important to keep water in the bilges to a minimum;
- Adding weight high up on the boat will affect stability;
- In heavy weather it is important to close all the hatches, lockers and doors to minimise the
risk of water pouring in;
- The boat's stability can be reduced when towing a boat or when using a davit or boom to lift
a heavy load;
- Breaking waves are a serious threat to stability.
- Reduce speed in wavy conditions.
- Always adjust the speed and heading of your boat according to the sea
conditions.
- All of the watertight hatches must remain closed when at sea.
- If the wind exceeds 20 knots, it is recommended that you stow all removable
protection sheets (Bimini, awnings...).

197895 RCD-2
Index B
- It is important to take additional precautions in the event of strong winds,
rough seas or breaking waves.
- Do not install an engine in this boat with a higher power rating than indicated on the
manufacturer's plate of the boat.
- Do not drive the boat at high speed with a negative trim of the propulsion equipment (bow
down). This can make the boat heel and cause it to be unstable when turning.
Use a negative trim to make the transition from displacement speed to planing speed, and at
lower speeds in choppy seas (applicable to boats equipped with a system for directing the
propeller thrust).
- Do not drive at top speed in areas of heavy boat traffic or in situations of reduced visibility,
strong winds or heavy seas. Reduce the boat's speed and wake out of courtesy and for your
own safety and the safety of others. Observe speed limits and "NO WASH" signs.
- Observe right of way as defined by the rules of marine traffic and required by international
regulations to prevent collisions at sea (RIPAM / Col Reg).
- Ensure that you always have sufficient room to stop or manoeuvre if necessary in order to
avoid a collision.
- Avoid abrupt manoeuvres at full speed.
- Do not sit on the forward section of the cockpit when the boat is moving at high speed.
- Reduce speed in large waves for your comfort and safety.

when at sea.
- When at sea close the guardrail side-opening or openings.
- Slamming an access hatch may cause injury : always close the hatch gently
and carefully.
- Do not allow children to open or close the hatches unsupervised.
- It is essential that companionway access is kept closed when at sea.
- Close the deck hatches and portholes before each trip.
- Close all access doors and hatches in heavy weather or when the sea is
rough.
ADVICE-RECOMMENDATION
- When under way, keep hull valves and fillers in the closed position to minimise the risk
of flooding.
