General introduction to the handbook for captains
This handbook has been compiled so that you can skipper your boat safely and
enjoyably. Along with details on the boat itself, accessories supplied or built into the
craft and its installations, it also contains information on its operation. Please read this
carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before you use it.
This handbook for captains is not a course in boat safety or seamanship. If this is your
first boat or if you have changed to a type of boat with which you are not yet familiar,
please make sure that for your own safety and comfort you know about the handling
and operation of the boat before you take control. Your dealer or the national sailing or
motorboat association or yacht club will be pleased to provide you with information
about local yachting schools or recommend experienced trainers.
Make sure that the expected wind and sea conditions comply with the design category
of your boat and that you and your crew are capable of handling the boat under these
conditions.
