RECORD KEEPING
________________
Boat Record
Use the Boat Record (included at he end
of this manual) to record all important in-
formation concerning your yacht and its
equipment. After your dealer has recorded
all the information, remove the record from
your Owner’s Manual and store in a safe,
convenient location. Do not keep this form
aboard your yacht.
Float Plan
The Float Plan (included at the end of this
manual) provides a record of your desti-
nation, departure and return times, yacht
description, passenger list and other infor-
mation about the trip you have planned. At
the bottom of the form is a space for listing
emergency telephone numbers in case your
return is delayed past the expected time. It
also has space for indicating information
about the person fi ling this report. Leave a
copy of the completed form ashore with a
responsible person. Carry the original form
with you on your cruise and if you deviate
from your original plan, be certain to notify
the person with whom you left the copy
of your change in plans. Silverton recom-
mends you make several copies of this form
each yachting season to ensure you have
an adequate supply

of this manual) provides the means to keep
