Boating Experience
This manual has been compiled to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains
details of the craft, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information on their operation,
set up, maintenance, prevention of risks and management of those risks. Please read carefully and
familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.
Follow the rules of the road;
WELCOME
This owner's manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first craft, or if
you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please
ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of the craft.
It is the boat owner/operator's responsibility to:
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, repair or modifications. Modifications that
may affect the safety characteristics of the craft shall be assessed, executed and documented by
competent people. The boat builder cannot be held responsible for modifications that boat builder has
not approved.
Responsibility
In some countries, a driving licence or authorization is required, or specific regulations are in force
and carriage requirements may be subject to local regulations.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design
category of your boat and that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in
these conditions;
Know the limitations of your boat;
Any boat dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of local sea
schools, or competent instructors.
This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble-shooting guide. In the case of difficulty,
refer to the boat builder or boat builder's representative. If a maintenance manual is provided, use it
for the craft's maintenance.
Even when your boat is categorized for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the
design categories A, B and C range from severe gale conditions for category A, to strong conditions
for the top of category C, open to the hazards of a freak wave or gust. These are therefore dangerous
conditions, where only a competent, fit and trained crew using a well-maintained craft can
satisfactorily operate.

Use of Engines
Warning
Take care not to damage fuel lines and check regularly that they are in
good condition
Ensure that any repairs to the inner hull matrix, keel and hull shell are undertaken by a professional
repair yard after consultation with the vessel’s manufacturer or designer and a repair specification
should be developed by either a surveyor, naval architect, or the original yacht manufacturer.
The easiest way to undertake this is to follow the manufacturer’s approved maintenance programme
and approved repair facility instructions.
Caution
After starting the engine, ensure the flow of cooling water
Caution
Grounding - Risks & Actions
After any grounding incident, make a visual inspection internally and
consider a haul out and external inspection as soon as practical.
Controls installed with the motor must have a start-in-gear protection
device. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure this is so, should the
engine or its controls be repaired/replaced.
Ensure that any grounding is discussed with an experienced marine professional to determine
whether a survey of the area and any repair actions are required.
Ensure there is sufficient fuel for the anticipated journey - including a
margin for contingencies.
Check the bilge water level.
Ensure that ventilation openings and ducts are clear to prevent
overheating
