The dealers, agents or re-sellers of the builder are not qualified to modify the above
described warranty but are authorized, for their own account and under their sole
responsibility, to grant other warranties that would in no way be under the builder’s
responsibility.
HULL DECK WARRANTY
The warranty is valid for 5 years against any manufacturing defect which is recognized as
such by the builder’s technical departments, and starts to run from the day the boat is put
into use or upon the last day of its model year at the latest, that is on August 31 of said year.
However, the warranty is limited to one year after date of first handover for boats:
• being used for professional purposes, including but not limited to charter,
sailing schools, fishing or workboats,
• boats built for competition specifically when equipped and/or conceived for
racing,
• of one-design nature.
The warranty is strictly limited to the free repair of above-mentioned manufacturing defects,
either in the builder’s yards or by a repair shop or shipyard chosen by the builder. No
indemnity whatsoever shall be paid in this respect.
Any event which affects the structure of the boat and which is not the result of a
manufacturing defect under warranty, which may or may not have qualified for a reparation
of the hull and deck, will result in the immediate cancellation of the warranty, without
prejudice.
The costs of transportation, as well as the possible costs resulting from the loss of use of the
boat will be entirely borne by the buyer.
