INTRODUCTION
Welcome
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.
The initial commissioning of your boat will require a lot of skill and care. The proper working of
all your boat's equipment is the result of the quality of the commissioning operations. This is
why the initial launch must be overseen by your dealer.
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 being at the helm.
Keep this manual somewhere safe and should you sell your boat, hand it to the new
owner.
You are advised to keep any user's guides supplied by the manufacturers of any
equipment for your boat (accessories...),together with your manual.
For all the equipment on your boat,
please read the instruction manuals provided by the manufacturer.

This manual has been produced to help you enjoy using your boat in all safety. It contains
the details of the boat and of all the equipment provided and installed on your boat, as well as
the instructions for their use. Read it carefully and really get to know your boat 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 it safely and with ease, before taking the helm
alone. Your dealer, or national sailing or motorboat association, or your yacht club will be very
happy to tell you about the 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 would put the boat at risk from massive waves
and extreme gusts. These are dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, fit and well-
trained crew, manoeuvering a well-maintained boat, could navigate sufficiently well.
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 qualifications, or
other specific regulations may be 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
is not compatible with safe navigation. 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 available onboard all the safety gear (lifejackets, harnesses etc) appropriate for the
type of boat and for the weather conditions etc.. 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.
It is advised that, when on deck, everyone should wear the appropriate buoyancy aids
(lifejackets, personal buoyancy aids) Be advised that in some countries, it is mandatory to wear
a buoyancy aid which meets the national regulations at all times.

2.4 DESIGN CATEGORIES
Category A: At high sea
The boat is designed to sail in winds that may exceed Beaufort force 8 and in waves of a
significant height of 4 metres and more.
This craft is largely self-sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as hurricanes are excluded.
Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages, for example across oceans, or
inshore when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several hundred nautical miles.
Category B: In open sea
The boat is designed to sail in winds not exceeding Beaufort force 8 and in corresponding seas
(waves of a significant height of less than or equal to 4 metres).
Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length, or on coastal
waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several dozens of nautical miles.
These conditions may also be experienced on inland seas of sufficient size for the wave height
to be generated.
Category C: Near to the coast
The boat is designed to sail in winds not exceeding Beaufort force 6 and in corresponding seas
(waves of a significant height of less than or equal to 2 metres). You may meet with such
conditions in exposed inland waters, in estuaries and in coastal waters with moderate weather
conditions.
Category D: In sheltered waters
The boat is designed to sail in winds that may exceed Beaufort force 4 and in waves of a
significant height of 0,5 metres and more.
Such conditions may be encountered in sheltered inland waters, and in coastal waters in fine
weather.
NOTE:
- The significant wave height is the mean height of the highest one-third of the waves, which
approximately corresponds to the wave height estimated by an experienced observer. Some
waves will be double this height.
- The creation of different design categories results from the need to distinguish between
different levels of risk according to the construction of the boats.
"The parameters for the characteristics are established to define the conditions of navigation
which each category may encounter; they serve purely to evaluate the boat designs and are
not to be used to limit the geographical areas in which these boats may operate".
- One boat may be classed in several design categories at the same time, each with their
different maximum capabilities.

3 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
3.1 STABILITY DATA
- Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat. The
value of this displacement can be found in paragraph ’ Technical specifications ’ at the
beginning of this manual.
- Any changes in the distribution of loads onboard (for example by adding a raised structure
for fishing, fitting a radar or in-mast furling, changing the engine etc.) can significantly affect the
boat's stability, trim and its performance ;
- It is important to keep water in the bilges to a minimum ;
- The boat's stability is affected by adding to the weight of the superstructure ;
- 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 waves.
- 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.

Index C
Access to companionway
- It is imperative that both the cockpit and the engine compartment are kept
closed 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 imperative 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
- Keep the sea cocks, discharge and drainage points closed to minimise the risk of
seawater pouring in.
