WELCOME ABOARD
Madam, Sir,
You have just taken delivery of your new JEANNEAU boat and we thank you for the
confidence you have shown us in ordering a vessel of our brand. The whole JEANNEAU team
welcomes you aboard.
A JEANNEAU is made to last, in order to bring you all the pleasure you expect from a vessel
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 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. Some of the equipment described in this manual may be optional.
Your JEANNEAU dealer will be able to help and advise you in the use and maintenance of
your boat.
Read this user's guide/owner's manual carefully and get to know your boat before using it.
The better you know your vessel the more pleasure you will get from being at the helm.
The sea is a source for learning. Caution based on a knowledge of one's own limits and those
of the boat is the pre-requisite for an accomplished sailor.
Even when your boat has been adapted for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding
to the design categories A, B, C and D may vary, ranging from severe conditions to strong
storms subject to the risks of exceptional waves and gusts of wind, this meaning they are
dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, fit and well trained crew manoeuvring a
well maintained boat can sail in a satisfactory manner.
This user's guide/owner's manual is not a course in safety at sea or about sailing sense. 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.
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.
Always listen to the weather forecast before you put out to sea.
Keep this user's guide/owner's 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

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.
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.
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.

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.).
