This manual has been compiled to help you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains the

the craft. Your dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of local sea
schools and competent instructors.
We’d also like to remind you to be kind to our environment while you’re boating. Don’t throw garbage
and other refuse overboard. And do your best to keep harmful compounds like gasoline, diesel fuel and
antifreeze out of the water.
