INTRODUCTION
These RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS have been compiled to help you to rig your Topaz VIBE sailing dinghy.
Please also ensure that you refer to your TOPAZ OWNERS MANUAL. The OWNERS MANUAL has been compiled
to help you to operate your craft with safety and enjoyment. It contains details of the craft, the equipment supplied
or fitted, it’s systems and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself
with the craft before using it.
If this is your first craft, or you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety,
please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command of the craft. Your dealer
or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of local sea schools, or competent instructors.
PLEASE KEEP THE RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS and THE OWNERS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND THEM
OVER TO THE NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
