WARNING
FAST BOATS OF ALL DESIGN CATEGORIES MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH
HANDHOLDS FOR ALL OCCUPANTS, TO LIMIT ANY RISK OF PERSONS FALLING
OVERBOARD WHILE OPERATING THE BOAT, DURING TIGHT TURNS, FAST
ACCELERATION OR DUE TO SEA MOTION.
THIS REQUIREMENT RELATES ONLY TO THE RISK OF FALLING OVERBOARD.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ALL OF THE PERSONS ONBOARD HAVE THE FOLLOWING
SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM:
- A HANDHOLD AND RAILING
- TWO HANDHOLDS SO THAT BOTH HANDS CAN HOLD ON AT THE SAME
TIME.
NOTE: TWO HANDHOLDS CAN COMPRISE A SINGLE ONE THAT BOTH HANDS CAN
TAKE HOLD OF SO LONG AS THEY ARE AT LEAST 200 MM APART.
WARNING
THE BUOYANCY TUBES CAN BE USED AS SEATING IN DESIGN CATEGORIES C AND
D ONLY. HOWEVER, TO AVOID FALLING OVERBOARD, MAKE SURE THAT
ANYONE SEATED ON THE BUOYANCY TUBES HAS TWO TWO HANDHOLDS
AVAILABLE, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH MUST BE LOCATED INSIDE THE COCKPIT
(WITHIN THE VERTICAL TANGENT OF THE BUOYANCY TUBES).
BALANCE THE LOCATION OF PEOPLE AND PAYLOADS WITHIN THE BOAT.

WARNING!!!
WHEN LOADING THE BOAT, NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
LOAD. ALWAYS LOAD THE BOAT CAREFULLY AND SPREAD OUT THE LOAD
APPROPRIATELY, TO MAINTAIN THE THEORETICAL TRIM (APPROXIMATELY
HORIZONTAL). AVOID PLACING HEAVY LOADS HIGH UP.
WARNING!
THE MAXIMUM PAYLOAD LOAD SHOWN ON THE BUILDER'S PLATE MUST NOT BE
EXCEEDED.
WE RECOMMEND, WHEN THE BOAT IS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY:
TO SAIL CAREFULLY
TO SPREAD THE LOAD
MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE TRIM
WARNING!
NEVER STORE INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS IN THE AFT COMPARTMENT.
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO STORE A SPARE FUEL TANK.

WARNING
BOAT MAXIMUM RATED POWER: 97 KW.
NEVER USE THIS BOAT WITH AN ENGINE WITH A RATED POWER LEVEL THAT
EXCEEDS THAT SHOWN ON THE BOAT'S MAXIMUM POWER PLATE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT WITH THE ENGINE SET FOR NEGATIVE TRIM (LOW
BOW) AT HIGH SPEED. THE BOAT MAY LIST. THIS MAY CAUSE INSTABILITY IN
TURNS. USE AN ENGINE SET FOR NEGATIVE TRIM TO ACCELERATE FROM
NORMAL CRUISING SPEED TO HYDROPLANING SPEED AND AT SPEEDS BELOW
THE HYDROPLANING SPEED IN CHOP.
NEVER OPERATE THE BOAT AT MAXIMUM ADMISSIBLE SPEED IN HEAVY
TRAFFIC AREAS OR WHEN WIND SPEED AND SEA STATE CONDITIONS CAUSE
REDUCED VISIBILITY OR UNDER HEAVY WIND OR ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS.
REDUCE THE BOAT'S SPEED AND WAKE AS A COURTESY AND SAFETY MEASURE
FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS. RESPECT THE SPEED AND WAKE LIMIT ZONES.
OBSERVE THE PRIORITY RULES SET BY STEERING RULES AND AS CALLED FOR BY
COLREG COLLISION REGULATIONS.
ENSURE THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE SUFFICIENT DISTANCE TO STOP OR
MANOEUVRE THE BOAT TO AVOID A COLLISION, WHERE NECESSARY.

BUOYANCY CHAMBER
BUOYANCY CHAMBER
The tube on your boat is made from
•NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1670 decitex, 1300 gr/m² or 1500. gr/m² cloth, or
•from Strongan 144 C PVC, 1100 Decitex 900 gr/m²
Maintenance tips are provided in the Owner's Manual Volume I.
MOUNTING THE TUBE ON THE HULL
IF THE TUBE HAS BEEN STORED AT A TEMPERATURE OF LESS THAN 0°C, LEAVE IT FOR
12 HOURS IN A TEMPERATE LOCATION (AT 20°C) BEFORE UNFOLDING IT.
YOU CAN INFLATE THE TUBE PRIOR TO MOUNTING IT (TO A PRESSURE OF 240mb)
AND LEAVE IT TO STABILISE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR. THEN DEFLATE IT.
NOTE: the buoyancy chamber is fitted to the hull with the buoyancy chamber deflated
1
To make it easier to mount the tube, place some liquid soap in the hull rails (A).
2
Position the tube headline (a) in the hull rail (b) starting from the bow. Pull the buoyancy chamber to bring
it to the water guard near the transom.
3
Proceed in the same way for the other side of the tube.
The 2 protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull’s nose.
