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 distribute 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:
-Navigate cautiously
-Distribute the load evenly
-Maintain appropriate trim.
WARNING!
Do not store flammable products in the rear compartment.
It is strictly forbidden to store a spare fuel tank.

Use a trailer adapted to your boat.
The boat’s hull is compatible with standard road gauge. It is designed to be transported inflated.
The weight in transport conditions for a trailer includes:
Unladen weight of the boat:
1,855 kg
Tolerance +/- 5 %
Weight of the engine(s):
734 kg
Weight of the engine + battery
Consumable quantity:
402 kg
Fuel tank and freshwater tank
Options:
457 kg
Model including all options
Safety equipment:
59 kg
Equipment + anchoring
:
1653,855 kg
STOWING ON A TRAILER OR CRADLE:
Use the bow ring and the rear chain plates on the outside of the transom.
RECOMMENDATION: IF TRANSPORTED WITH BUOYANCY TUBE
DEFLATED!
TO AVOID DAMAGING THE CONE ENDS, WE RECOMMEND YOU USE THE
TRANSPORT STRAP KIT (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)..

I-4-3Lifting
WARNING
The boat has no lifting fittings. Hoisting requires passing suitable
lifting straps under the hull.
* Estimate of the centre of gravity with the heaviest engine, options excluded.
Single-engine (approx. 2,400 kg)
A = 3.20 m
Twin-engine (approx. 2,650 kg)
A = 2.95 m
WARNING
Lifting must be carried out by professionals.
DANGER!
No passengers on board while hoisting
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 any
rainwater from the bottom of the bilge (close the drain hole before
launching).

BUOYANCY TUBE –Installing the buoyancy tube on the hull
II BUOYANCY TUBE
II-1 BUOYANCY TUBE MAINTENANCE
Your boat’s buoyancy tube is made of NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1670 Decitex fabric, 1500 g/m².
The maintenance recommendations are specified in VOLUME I of the owner's manual.
II-2 INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY TUBE ON THE HULL
If the buoyancy tube has been stored at a temperature below 0°C,
leave it for 12 hours at room temperature (20°C) before unfolding it.
You can inflate the non-installed buoyancy tube (pressure 240 mb)
and let it stabilize for around one hour. Then deflate it.
NOTE: the buoyancy tube is fitted to the hull with the buoyancy tube deflated
1
In order to facilitate the fitting of the buoyancy tube, apply liquid soap to the hull’s rails (A).
2
Place the buoyancy tube bolt rope (a) in the hull rail (b) starting with the front of the hull. Pull the
buoyancy tube to bring it to the water guard near the transom.
3
Repeat for the other side of the buoyancy tube.
The two protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull’s nose.

BUOYANCY TUBE - INFLATING THE BUOYANCY TUBE
II-3 FIXING THE PROTECTIVE FLAP
Fastening with inserts:
4
Place the buoyancy tube and make fast the outer flap (buoyancy tube deflated) using the stainless
steel bars and the screws supplied in the buoyancy tube kit. To ensure that the assembly is
mechanically secure, apply medium strength threadlocker to the screws.
Fastening with bolts:
4
After inflating the buoyancy tube (see the chapters below), secure the outer flap using the
stainless steel bars and screws provided in the buoyancy tube kit. Apply sealing compound on all
the screws and in the hull holes to achieve watertightness.

BUOYANCY TUBE - INFLATING THE BUOYANCY TUBE
PRESSURE GAUGE
WARNING!
Do not use a compressor or compressed air cylinder.
INFLATION
1/ Place all valves in inflation position.
2/ Fit the adaptor that matches the diameter of the "easy-
push" valve to the inflation tube tip.
3/ Attach the hose connector to the inflation pump inflation
valve.
To inflate your buoyancy tube properly, the inflation pump
should be correctly placed on the ground.
The tube inflates rapidly if the inflation pump is used smoothly
and without haste.
4/ Inflate the buoyancy tube, starting with the first compartment (a) at the bow, to 200 mb pressure.
5/ Then inflate the amidships tubes (b), to 220 mb read on the pressure gauge on the first
compartment.
6/ 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 tube to balance out.
7/ Inflation is completed: screw on the inflation valve plugs.
