XO BOATS
PREFACE
Congratulations on your new Finnish XO boat! We want to thank you
for choosing XO and we hope you enjoy the time you spend aboard.
The purpose of this manual is to help you operate your boat with
safety and pleasure. The manual contains the details of the boat
and the associated or installed equipment and systems, as well as
information on its operation and maintenance.
Please read the manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the
boat before using it. Naturally, you cannot learn the skills of sea-
manship and safe boating by reading a User Manual. If this XO is
your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not
familiar with, for your own comfort and safety please ensure that
you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming
command of your boat. Your dealer, boating clubs and national
sailing and yacht federations will be pleased to advise you of local
boating schools and competent instructors.
Make sure that your boat's design category is appropriate for the
expected wind and wave conditions, and that you and your crew are
capable of handling the boat in such conditions. The wind and wave
conditions specified for design category C may include gales and
high winds, with risk of exceptional waves and gusts. Such condi-
tions are dangerous and can be suciently handled only by a com
petent and fit crew in a well-maintained boat. This User Manual is
not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. If a problem
occurs, please contact your XO dealer. If a repair is required, use
only the companies recommended by your XO dealer.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND HAND IT
OVER TO THE NEXT OWNER IF YOU SELL THIS BOAT.
