INTRODUCTION
We share a common passion for the sea: we, JEANNEAU as shipbuilders and you who
want to live your passion on the Seven Seas.
We are delighted to welcome you to the great family of JEANNEAU boat owners and we
congratulate you on it.
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.
Read this manual carefully before you put out to sea so that you can make the most of her
and avoid any damage and any trouble. Get to know your boat before you sail.
We keep improving our boats as we want you to benefit from the technological
developments, new equipment or materials and our own experience. 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 10 240 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.
In case of doubt refer to the inventory list you were given when you bought your boat.
Our network of JEANNEAU authorized dealers will be at your disposal to help you get
acquainted with your boat and will be the most qualified to take care of her maintenance.
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.
Even if everything has been provided for and designed for the safety of the boat and the
safety of her users, don't forget that sailing highly depends on the weather conditions, the
sea condition, and that only an experienced and very fit crew, handling a well-maintained
boat can sail satisfactorily.

5.1.3, 5.2 ISO 10 240
The sea and wind conditions that correspond to the design categories A, B or C are
changeable and are dependent on the hazards of unusually strong waves or gusty winds.
Therefore total safety cannot be guaranteed, even if your boat meets the requirements of
a category.
The sea and the water are not the natural environment of Man and one has to respect their
laws and strength.
Adapt the use of your boat to her condition that wears out with time and 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 'COLREG', an international regulation in order to prevent collision at sea, published by
the International Maritime Organization, specifies the steering and course regulations, the
navigation lights etc. throughout the world Make sure you know these regulations and you
have on board a manual that explains them.
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.
Always use an experienced technician for the maintenance of your boat, the fitting of
accessories and the carrying out of small modifications. The written authorization of the
builder or his legal representative is compulsory for modifications that alter the
specifications of the boat, in particular the vertical layout of the grounds (putting up of a
radar, modification of the mast, change of the engine etc.).
Always listen to the weather forecast before you put out to sea.
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.
For the essential or optional equipment (engine, electronics etc.) refer to their respective
manual delivered with your boat.

The users of the boat are informed of the following:
- The entire crew must be trained properly.
- 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 water in the bilge shall be kept at its minimum.
- 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.
- The stability may be reduced when you tow a boat.
- Breaking waves are a serious threat to stability.
- If your boat is equipped with a liferaft, carefully read the instructions. In the boat there
shall be all the proper safety equipment (harness, flares, liferaft etc.) depending on the
type of boat, the country, the weather
- The crew must be familiar with the use of all the safety equipment and the emergency
safety procedures (MOB, towing etc.).
- Anyone on the deck shall wear a life jacket or a buoyancy aid. Please note that in some
countries it is compulsory to wear an homologated buoyancy aid permanently.
- 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.
Keep this 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
