1 Welcome on board

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Saxdor yacht - the best decision ever made!

Saxdor Yachts welcomes you to the new era of boating! Your Saxdor yacht is built to the highest standards

for your pleasure with cutting-edge technologies and attention to safety. Enjoy your new boat’s amazing

design and high functionality coupled with excellent driving.

This manual is your buddy — not something you stow in the furthest corner of your boat. It contains, together

with the equipment manufacturers’ manuals, essential information you will need to operate your boat in a

safe and enjoyable way. It includes detailed information about the boat and its equipment and accessories,

as well as instructions for use and correct maintenance of the boat. Please read the manual carefully and

familiarise yourself with your boat before using it.

However, this owner’s manual alone is not meant to be a sufficient source of information on safe boating and

seamanship. If this is your first boat or if the boat type is not familiar to you, please make sure you obtain

sufficient training and experience in handling and using the boat before heading out.

If you sell your boat, please make sure to pass this manual, along with the equipment manufacturers’

manuals, on to the new owner.

For more details, see section 1.2 Your owner’s manual on page 6.

1.1 Is this your first boat?

We are really happy to welcome you on board as a captain of your first boat — and that being a Saxdor!

Let’s get you introduced to some important information so your boat can serve you well on every journey,

and both you and the boat remain safe and well taken care of at all times.

• Safety first

We cannot emphasize the importance of safety enough. If you’re new to the addictive joy of being a

captain, please take the time to carefully read sections 2 Be safe on page 10 and 3 You’re the

captain on page 19. Although your boat is built to the highest safety standards, it is important that

you understand the safety aspects of seamanship and have the necessary skills that allow you to

enjoy your yacht to the fullest.

• Consider a boating course

If you are new to the world of seafaring, a course on boating safety and seamanship can help you

get the right introduction and a feeling of confidence. Your Saxdor dealer or boating society will be

able to guide you on this.

• You may need a driver’s licence

Some countries require that you have a licence to operate your boat. There may also be specific

regulations and carriage requirements in place. Your Saxdor dealer will know about the

requirements in your own country.

• Insurance is a good idea, even if not required by law

Insurance can cover for any damage that may occur whenever the boat is being transported and

stored, and in use.

1 Welcome on board

320 GTC Owner's Manual Model year: 2023 320GTCOMmy2301EN

Subversion: 01 2023-02-22 revision A

Your Saxdor dealer and/or local authorities can provide you with information about insurance

requirements in your area. You can also contact insurance companies directly for information on the

various alternatives available.

• Registration

In some regions it may be mandatory to register boats of your boat type. Operating the boat may

also be subject to holding a license or other qualification. In addition, minimum age requirements

may apply.

If unsure, check with your Saxdor dealer.

1.2 Your owner’s manual

Learn more about the contents and availability of the user documentation.

The latest version of your manual is always available in the Saxdor share portal. You can check for updated

versions for your model year at manuals.saxdoryachts.com.

This manual describes all the options available for this boat model. The configuration

on your boat may vary depending on the equipment you have selected, and some of

the options may not be available in your region.

The equipment manufacturers’ manuals complement this owner’s manual. They are included in the Saxdor

documentation bag that comes with your purchase.

In case of any difficulties, contact Saxdor Yachts local representative for advice and assistance. Saxdor

contact information is available at www.saxdoryachts.com.

1.2.1 Structure of this manual

The information you will find in the following sections of this manual is organized as follows.

• Be safe

A guide on the steps you need to take to ensure you, your crew, and your guests remain safe at all

times whenever on board.

• You’re the captain

Get to know how your boat operates, and take control. This manual is, however, not a course on

seamanship or boating safety. For the comfort and safety of both yourself and your crew and guests,

please ensure you take a boating and seamanship course, or otherwise gain the handling and

operating experience you need, before taking the boat out to sea.

• The what and where of your boat

This section is a graphical presentation of the contents of your boat. See the overall layout and

positions of equipment on board at a glance, and discover the different components and control

functions in detail.

• The how of your boat

Learn how the systems on your boat work. While this section does give some instructions on how to

operate the boat, it doesn’t provide full step-by-step instructions on the equipment on board. For

these, you need to consult the equipment manufacturers’ own manuals.

• Respect the environment

What you can do to keep other persons, the sea and mother nature from harm.

• Care for your boat

This section will give you some guidelines on how to best take care of your boat to ensure a long

lifespan and maximum pleasure, but it is not a detailed maintenance guide. Consult the equipment

manufacturers’ manuals for more detailed instructions. We advise you to always turn to a

professional service for the maintenance of your boat.

• When in trouble

Some tips for simple troubleshooting.

• The details

All the technical specifications and the dimensions of your boat.

• Extras

Appendices. Links to the full warranty card, wiring diagrams, and equipment manufacturers’

websites. Also a glossary of some important terms, and a summary of warnings and cautions that

occur in this manual.

1.2.2 Equipment manufacturers’ manuals

The Saxdor documentation bag includes a hard copy of the manuals or quick guides of the equipment that

you have selected for your boat.

However, in today’s digital world many manufacturers, like us, do not offer any printed documentation at all.

So have a look at their websites for any content you might need! For example, you can look there for more

detailed instructions and for the most up-to-date information.

For your convenience, a list of the equipment manufacturers’ websites is available in Extras. Note that the

list is not exhaustive.
