First, travel by engine propulsion and make yourself familiar with the boat’s manoeuvring
behaviour using the engine. Pay attention to the propeller efficiency when travelling forward and
backward.
2.6. Manoeuvring by engine
Heed the information given in the engine’s operating instructions before starting.
Switch off the main switch.
Check whether the single-lever control is in neutral.
Begin the start procedure.
In case the engine does not ignite, repeat the start procedure after a short pause.
If the engine does not ignite after 3 attempts, search for the reason.
After the engine ignites and you have checked that all systems, especially the cooling water system,
are functioning, you can set off on your first trip. Pay attention to the turning efficiency of the
propeller and manoeuvre carefully.
Anchoring should also be part of the training programme.
2.7. Checking the systems
On principle, the boat is delivered in working order, if not otherwise agreed upon. We attempt to
convey the necessary knowledge and special features to you when delivering the boat.
Upon initial operation, you should check all systems on board step by step. To do so, use the
structure of this manual. You will simultaneously gain knowledge of the arrangement and
functioning of the systems.
Perform these checks if the boat hasn’t been used for a longer period of time and at the start of
the water sports season.
3. Environmental Protection
During the development and manufacturing of our boats, we have taken care that the utilised
materials, when used properly, do not harm the environment. There are a number of regulations
regarding environmental protection, and we ask you to observe them when using your boat. In the
following, we address several special notes on the environmental-friendly use of your boat.
Sailing is a quiet sport. Please handle your boat in a responsible manner and thus make your
contribution to not harming nature more than necessary.
Please pay attention to the following sections!
3.1. Fuels and oils
Fuels and oils are an environmental hazard because they pollute, impair and damage nature for a
longer period of time.
Handle these substances carefully on board so that nothing goes overboard when tanking, filling
or emptying.
Take special care before draining the boat that there is no oil in the bilge water. If this is the case,
use special oil absorbers to clean the bilge water or pump the bilge water into special canisters,
which you should then properly dispose of on shore.
