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 thesafety of the boat and thesafety
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.

2/114
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.
Theseaandthewater are not thenaturalenvironmentofMan and one hastorespecttheirlaws
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
navigationlightsetc.throughoutthe 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 thecarrying 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.

3/114
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 or when you lift heavy weights with the
davits or the boom.
- Breaking waves are a serious threat to stability.
- If your boat is equipped with aliferaft, carefully readthe instructions. In the boatthere 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

SPECIFICATIONS AND WARRANTY

8/114
Category A: At high sea
This craft is designed to operate in winds that may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and in
significant wave heights of 4 m and above.
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
This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 8 and the associated wave
heights (significant wave height up to 4 m, see Note 1 below).
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 beexperienced on inland seas of sufficient sizefor the wave height
to be generated.
Category C: Near to the coast
This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the associated wave
heights (significant wave height up to 2 m, see Note 1 below). 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
This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 4 and the associated wave
heights (occasional maximum waves of 0,5 m height).
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.
