This manual has been created to help you to enjoy your craft in complete safety. It contains details of the craft, the equipment supplied or installed, its
systems and information on their use, adjustment and maintenance, as well as risk prevention and management. Please read it carefully and familiarise
yourself with the craft before using it.
This owner’s manual is not a course on safe sailing or marine practices. If this is your first craft or if you have changed for a type of craft that you are
not familiar with, for your comfort and safety ensure that you acquire experience in handling and using it before “taking command” of it. Your dealer, national
sailing or motorised nautical federation or yacht club will be only too pleased to advise you on sailing schools or competent instructors in your region.
Ensure that the wind and sea conditions forecast are suitable for the design of your craft, and that your crew and yourself are capable of handling it
safely in these conditions. Even when your craft is categorised for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to design classes A, B and C vary from
strong gales for class A to severe conditions for the top of class C, subject to the dangers of abnormal waves or gusts. These are therefore dangerous
conditions in which only an experienced, fit and trained crew, manoeuvring a well-maintained craft, can sail satisfactorily.
This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. In case of difficulty, contact the builder or his agent. If a user manual is
provided, use it for maintenance of the craft. Always use an experienced and competent professional for servicing, repair or making modifications.
Modifications that may affect the safety characteristics of the craft must be assessed, carried out and documented by skilled persons. The manufacturer of the
craft may not be held responsible for modifications that have not been approved.
In certain countries, a skipper’s licence or permit may be required or special regulations may apply. Local road transport requirements may also apply.
Always keep your craft well maintained and do not neglect the wear and tear that occurs over time or, where applicable from intensive or inappropriate
use. No matter how strong the craft is, it may be severely damaged if it is not used correctly. Inspect the craft regularly, especially after any type of suspected
damage. Always adjust your speed and the direction of the craft to the sailing conditions. If your craft is equipped with a life raft, read its instruction manual
carefully. The crew must have all of the required safety equipment on board (life jackets, harnesses, etc.) corresponding to the type of craft, the weather
conditions, etc. This equipment is mandatory in certain countries. The crew must be familiar with the use of all of the safety equipment, and the emergency
safety procedures (man overboard, towing, etc.). Sailing schools and clubs organise regular training sessions.
It is recommended that all persons wear suitable buoyancy equipment (life jackets, buoyancy aids, etc.) when they are on deck. It should be noted that
in certain countries, personal buoyancy equipment must be worn at all times in compliance with national regulations.

A - MANUFAC URER'S PLA E
Part of the information is given on the manufacturer's plate affixed to the craft. A full
explanation of this information is also given in the relevant sections of this manual.
This general manual may sometimes list certain equipment or accessories and may deal
with subjects which are not standard for your craft.
If in doubt, refer to the inventory list supplied when you purchased the craft.
For your comfort and safety, ensure that you have experience in handling and
using this type of craft before taking control of it. Your dealer, international sailing
federation or yacht club will be very happy to advise you on local sailing schools or
competent instructors.

Class A: A craft given design class A is considered to have been designed to sail in winds below Beaufort 10 and
associated significant wave heights.
NOTE Such conditions can typically be encountered during long crossings, for example across oceans, but can also occur close to
shore when the area is unprotected from wind and waves for several hundred nautical miles. Depending on atmospheric
conditions, winds can gust up to 32 m/sec
Class B: A craft given design class B is considered to have been designed to sail in winds below or equal to
Beaufort 8 and associated significant wave heights of up to 4m.
NOTE Such conditions may typically be encountered during offshore navigation of sufficient length, but may also occur near shore
when shelter may not be immediately available. These conditions may also be encountered on inland water bodies of sufficient size
to generate the wave heights mentioned above. Depending on atmospheric conditions, winds can gust up to 27 m/sec.
Class C: A craft given design class C is considered to have been designed to sail in steady winds typically below
or equal to Beaufort 6 and associated significant wave heights of up to 2m.
NOTE Such conditions may typically be encountered on exposed inland waters, estuaries and coastal areas in moderate weather.
Depending on atmospheric conditions, winds can gust up to 18 m/sec.
Class D: A craft given design class D considered to have been designed to sail in steady winds typically below or
equal to Beaufort 4 and associated significant wave heights of up to 0.3m with occasional waves 0.5m high.
NOTE Such conditions may be encountered on sheltered inland waters and coastal areas in good weather. Depending on
atmospheric conditions, winds can gust up to 12 m/sec.

C- LOADING:
I - INTRODUCTION
Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons.
Regardless of the number of persons on board, the total weight of
the persons and equipment must not exceed the maximum
recommended load. Always use the seats/occupancy areas provided.
When loading the craft, do not exceed the maximum recommended
load.
Always load the craft carefully and spread the load appropriately to
avoid altering the theoretical trim (approximately horizontal).
Avoid putting heavy loads in the upper sections.
Warning
he maximum recommended load indicated on the plate includes the weight of all of the persons on board, supplies, personal
effects, all equipment not included in the weight of the light craft, the cargo (where applicable) and all of the consumable
liquids (water, fuel, etc.).
It does not include the options installed by the manufacturer.
The total weight of the liquids (diesel and fresh water), with permanent tanks full is: 2,170 kg
Freshwater: 1,1 0 litres = 1,1 0 kg
Diesel: 1,200 litres x 0.8 = 1,020 kg

It is recommended to:
- keep informed of the local regulations for the protection of the environment and comply with the code of good
practice.
- familiarise yourself with the international marine pollution regulations (MARPOL).
Do not discharge toilets or the contents of holding tanks near the coast or in prohibited areas .
Use port or marina pumping systems to empty holding tanks before leaving port.
