DESCRIPTION - Technical characteristics
NOTE: The maximum authorized power, when greater than the maximum recommended power, must
be used with extreme caution. It is intended for experienced users, using their boat under very specific
conditions (transport of heavy loads, etc.). See the "Sailing advice" chapter in Volume 1 of the manual.
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 LOAD ON THE MANUFACTURER'S PLATE SHOULD NOT BE
EXCEEDED.
WE RECOMMEND, WHEN THE BOAT IS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY:
-TO SAIL CAREFULLY
-TO SPREAD THE LOAD
-MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE TRIM.
WARNING!!!
DO NOT STORE FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT.
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO STORE A SPARE FUEL TANK.

WARNING!!!
ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE UNLOADED FROM THE BOAT FOR LIFTING
OR DAVIT HANDLING.
BEFORE LAUNCHING THE BOAT, OPEN THE AFT DRAIN HOLE TO DRAIN

BUOYANCY CHAMBER –Installing the buoyancy chamber on the hull
II BUOYANCY CHAMBER
II-1 BUOYANCY CHAMBER MAINTENANCE
Your boat's buoyancy chamber is made of NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1670 decitex, 1500 gr/m².
The maintenance recommendations are specified in VOLUME I of the owner's manual.
II-2 INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER ON THE HULL
IF THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER WAS STORED AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 0°C /
32°F, LEAVE IT AT 20°C / 68°F FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE UNFOLDING.
YOU CAN INFLATE THE NON-FITTED BUOYANCY CHAMBER (pressure 240mb)
AND LET IT STABILIZE FOR AROUND ONE HOUR. THEN DEFLATE IT.
NOTE: the buoyancy chamber is fitted to the hull with the buoyancy chamber deflated
1
In order to facilitate the fitting of the buoyancy chamber, apply liquid soap to the hull’s rails (A).
2
Place the buoyancy chamber bolt rope (a) in the hull rail (b) starting with the front of the hull. Pull
the buoyancy chamber to bring it to the water guard near the transom.
3
Repeat for the other side of the buoyancy chamber.
The two protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull’s nose.

BUOYANCY CHAMBER - INFLATING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER
II-3 FIXING THE PROTECTIVE FLAP
Fastening with inserts:
4
Place the buoyancy chamber and make fast the outer flap (buoyancy chamber deflated) using the
stainless steel bars and the screws supplied in the buoyancy chamber kit. To ensure the
mechanical hold of the fitting, use medium threadlock on the screws.
Fastening with bolts:
4
After inflating the buoyancy chamber (see the chapters below), fit the outer flap using the
stainless steel bars and screws provided in the buoyancy chamber kit. Apply sealing compound on
all the screws and in the hull holes to achieve watertightness.

THE PRESSURE GAUGE
WARNING!!!
DO NOT USE A COMPRESSOR OR COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDER.
INFLATION
1º/Place all valves in inflation position.
2º/ Fit the adaptor that matches the diameter of the "easy-
push" valve to the inflation tube tip.
3º/ Attach the hose connector to the inflation pump inflation
valve.
To inflate your buoyancy chamber properly, the inflation pump
should be correctly placed on the ground.
The chamber inflates rapidly if the inflation pump is used
smoothly and without haste.
4º/ Inflate the buoyancy chamber, starting with the first compartment (a) at the bow, to 200 mb
pressure.
5º/ Then inflate the midship chambers (b), to 220 mb pressure, read on the pressure gauge on the
first compartment.
6º/ Then inflate the stern compartments (c) to 240 mb, with the pressure gauge still on the first
compartment. The partitions (1) enable the pressure between each chamber to balance out.
7º/ Inflation is completed: screw on the inflation valve plugs.

BUOYANCY CHAMBER - PRESSURE
NOTE: A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on.
Only the plugs provide final airtightness.
II-5 PRESS-STUD
The buoyancy chamber has 5compartments. Each must be inflated to a pressure of 240 mb / 3.4 PSI.
It is the buoyancy chamber's correct pressure.
The ambient temperature of the air or the
water proportionally influences the internal
pressure of the buoyancy chamber.
Ambient temperature
Pressure inside the
buoyancy chamber
+1°C
+4 mb / 0.06 PSI
-1°C
-4 mb / 0.06 PSI
It is therefore important to anticipate.
Check and adjust the pressure of inflatable compartments (by inflating or deflating) depending on
the temperature (particularly when temperature variations are high between the morning and
evening in particularly hot regions) and check that the pressure does not exceed the recommended
pressure zone (from 220 to 270 mb).
RISK OF PRESSURE LOSS
Example:
Your boat is exposed to direct sunlight on the beach (temperature=50°C) at the recommended
pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI). When you launch the boat (temperature = 20°C), the temperature and
pressure in the inflatable compartments will both drop (up to 120 mb) and YOU MUST THEN RE-
INFLATE THEM until the millibars lost due to the difference between air and water temperature are
regained.
It is normal to observe a drop in pressure at the end of the day when the outdoor temperature drops.

BUOYANCY CHAMBER - PRESSURE
RISK OF OVERPRESSURE
Example:
Your boat is inflated to its recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI) at the beginning or end of the day
(low outside temperature = 10°C). Later in the day, your boat is left in the sun on the beach or on the
deck of a boat (temperature = 50°C). Temperature inside the inflatable compartments will increase (up
to 70°C) especially with a dark colour buoyancy chamber, causing the pressure to double (480 mb).
YOU MUST THEN DEFLATE the boat to return to the recommended pressure.
WARNING!!!
IF YOUR BOAT IS OVERINFLATED, THE PRESSURE WILL ABNORMALLY
WEAR THE INFLATABLE STRUCTURE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A BREACH
OF THE ASSEMBLY.
IN THE EVENT OF OVERPRESSURE
Release air by pressing the valve plunger
