Any
yacht,
however
reliable,
can be damaged
if
it is incorrectly
used.
Always
use
your
yacht
in safe
conditions
and
adjust
your
speed and
course
to the
sea conditions.
lf
your
yach!
is
equipped
with
a life raft,
carefully
read
the instruction
manual. The
necessary
safety
equipment (life
jackets,
harnesses,
etc)
should
be
present
aboard
the
yacht,
according
to the typ6
of
yacht,
weather
conditions
etc. This
safety
equipment
is compulsory
in
certain countries.
The
crew must
be familiar
with
the use
of the
safety
equipment
and
emergency manoeuvres (man
overboard,
towing
etc.).
Sailing schools
organise
regular
courses
covering
these subjects.
All
crew members
should
wear
a life
jacket
when
they
are on
deck. ln
certain
countries it is
compulsory
to wear
a life
jacket
in
conformity
with
national
regulations.
Be
careful
not
to interpret
condensation
as
a leak.
Thanks
to its "ship-in-ship"
construction,
combined
with
foam
insulation,
the ETAP
is
an
exceptionally
dry
yacht.
This,
however,
does not
prevent
condensation
from
tubes
(toilet,
washbasin,
galley,
cockpit
discharge,
air conditioning
...),
through-hull
outlets
and
metal objects
such
as the
battery,
engine
and
otherbbjects.
When
under
way,
ensure
that all
loose
equipment
have
been firmly
secured
or stowed
away in
lockers,
boxes
or
other
suitable locations.
Check
if
all lockers
have
been
securely closed.
Before
you
set off,
windows
and
hatches have
to be securely
closed and
the through-hull
ouflets
of toilets
and
washbasins
closed.
Pictoglams
Various
pictograms
are used
in the manual
or aboard
your yacht.
Their
meanings
are as
follows:
lndicates
that an
extremely
serious
direct
risk
exists. lf
no
suitable
preventive
measures
are
taken,
there is
a considerable
likelihood
of
death
or serious
injury.
lndicates
that
a direct risk
exists.
lf no
suitable
preventive
measures
are taken,
there is a
considerable
likelihood
of injury.
lndicates
a reminder
of
safety measures
or draws
attention
to unsafe
actions
which may
result in
personal
injury
or damage
to the
yacht
or
parts
of
the
yacht.
Read
the instructions
or the manual
for
the equipment
concerned.
These
manuals
are supplied
with
the
yacht.
This
means
that
a diagram
for the
item concerned
is also included
in an
appendix
to this manual.
The
CE mark
stands
for "Conformit6
Europ6enne",
which
means,
among
other
things, that any
product
that
bears
this
symbol meets
a
number
of essential
requirements
and that it
cin be freely
marketed
anywhere
in
the European
Union.
A fire
extinguisher
can be
found at
this location.

symbol

an
emergency
exit.
