GENERAL NOTES
Abbreviations
The following abbreviations have been used:
(D): DANGER
(W): WARNING
(C): CAUTION
Design Category C (D)
This craft has a design category ‘C’ designated “Inshore”: Craft designed for voyages in
coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers, where conditions up to and including
wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to and including 2m may be experienced.
This craft should not be used in areas and conditions exceeding those of category C. This
craft should only be operated at speeds suitable to the prevailing conditions and experience
of crew and should not be operated at high speed in adverse sea conditions.
Seaworthiness and Crew Ability (W)
Regardless of the craft’s seaworthiness and its certified RCD design category, protection
from freak sea and wind conditions cannot be guaranteed. The ability, experience and
fitness of all the crew should therefore be taken into consideration before using the craft.
As a minimum, ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions do not exceed the design
category of your boat and that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in these
conditions. All crew should receive suitable instruction/training particularly with regards to
location and operation of safety equipment.
Maintenance & Repairs (D)
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, repairs or modifications. Contact
your dealer prior to undertaking any modifications as they may affect the safety
characteristics of the craft, endangering your own safety and invalidating any warranties.
Please note that any change in the disposition of masses aboard may significantly affect the
stability, trim and performance of your boat.

GENERAL INFORMATION
REGULAR INSPECTION (W)
Regular inspections should be carried out prior to use and should include at least the
following:
Ensure transom & deck drains are closed, secure and in good condition.
Check the fuel hose and connections for leaks, general wear and chaffing.
Check the steering and engine controls, ensuring free and full movement.
Ensure the secure mounting and operation of the outboard motor, referring to
separate outboard motor manufacturers manual.
HANDLING CHARACTERISITCS, TRIM, PERFORMANCE & STABILITY (D)
Small craft are susceptible to significant changes in trim, (fore & aft) and heel, (port &
starboard) for relatively minor movements of onboard masses.
Arrange crew and store gear/equipment securely to ensure that your craft has level trim and
heel prior and during use, bow down trim should be avoided otherwise the boat might turn
unexpectedly.
