ensure the professional you hired has a written authorisation of the
builder or his legal representative. The builder cannot be held responsible
for modifications that have not been previously approved.
In many countries a driving licence, authorisation or training is required;
please make sure you obtain these legal authorisations before sailing.
Always have a weather forecast or prevision prior to any sailing session or
travel and ensure that the wind and sea conditions will correspond to the
design category of your boat. Ensure that you and your crew are able to
handle the boat in these conditions.
If this is your first boat or you are changing to a type of boat you are not
familiar with, for your own comforts and safety, please ensure that you
obtain handling and operating experience before "assuming command" of
the boat. Your dealer, national sailing federation or yacht club will be
pleased to advise you of local sea schools or competent instructors.
Please note:
- All crew should receive suitable training
- The boat should not carry more than the builder’s recommended
load
- Stability is reduced by any weight added high up
- Hatches must be closed and sealed
- Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard
- Buoyancy aids are recommended to wear at all times by all crew for
their own safety
- While sailing always keep the keel in it’s working (fully down!)
position
Please keep this manual in a dry and secure place and hand it over to the
new owner when you sell this sailing boat.
