This Guide will help you to control your boat easily
and safely. It contains a detailed description of
the boat and information about its assembly,
operation and maintenance. Please, read it
carefully, view the accompanying video and get
fully acquainted with the boat before using it.
This User Guide is neither a training manual of sailing safety, nor
a sailing course. If this is your first boat, to ensure your comfort
and safety familiarise yourself with the operation of the boat
before sailing it for the first time. Either your MINICAT retailer,
the National Sailing Federation, or your local sailing club will be
pleased to recommend you to an appropriate sailing course, or
qualified sailing instructors.
Do not set sail if the expected sailing conditions (wind force,
wave height) do not correspond to the design category of your
boat.
Any changes to your MINICAT which could influence the safety
characteristics of the boat, must be performed, verified and
documented by a competent and authorised person. The
boat manufacturer does not bear the responsibility for any
unapproved changes
Always keep your MINICAT well
maintained and take into account any
deterioration of its condition, which may
occur as a consequence of heavy usage
or misuse. Despite its strength, your
MINICAT may be seriously damaged if it
is not used properly. This will jeopardise
your safety when sailing.
Always ensure that your MINICAT
is assembled precisely according to
the instructions, it may be possible
to assemble the boat with incorrect
positioning, this can result in non-
porformance or even collapse when
sailing.
Always adjust the speed and the heading
of the boat according to the sailing
conditions (wind force, wave height).
All persons using any sailing
craft must wear life jackets.
ALWAYS - SAFETY FIRST
Please pay special
attention to the
selection of your life
jacket. It must be
certified and equipped
with a label containing
the information about
the carrying capacity
and reference to the
certificate of safety.
Please keep this User
Guide in a safe place and
give it to the new owner
when selling the boat.
