Thank You for

Choosing a Williams Minijet

Dear Williams Customer,

We would like to thank you for purchasing a Williams Tender. In doing so you have now

become part of the worldwide family of Williams owners who have chosen their tender based

on a requirement for performance, style and reliability.

Williams Jet Tenders Limited was established in 2004 by John and Mathew Hornsby, and Roy

Parker. All three founders have long associations with the marine industry, working in various

fields, from volume manufacture of sailboats to the production of handcrafted cold moulded

wooden powerboats. This design and engineering knowledge led to the development of the

Minijet range.

We wish you much enjoyment through the safe and responsible use of your Williams Minijet

Tender.

This owner's handbook has been compiled to help you operate your Minijet with safety and

pleasure. It contains details of the boat and equipment fitted, together with information on its

operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before

using it.

The Williams Minijet uses water jet propulsion. If this is your first boat or you are changing to

a type of boat you are not familiar with, please ensure that, for your own safety you obtain

handling and operating experience before assuming command of the boat. Maneuverability

is restricted while decelerating. Your dealer, national sailing federation or yacht club will be

pleased to advise you of sea schools, or competent instructors.

The Minijet is a high performance boat. We recommend that a minimum standard of

RYA level 2 or ICC (International Certificate of Competency) is attained by the operator

prior to taking control of this boat. This manual assumes the operator has acquired

this standard of qualification and possesses knowledge of basic seamanship.

On handover your Williams Sales & Service Centre will guide you through the operating

functions and safety features of the boat. Remember to complete and submit your

warranty registration form either by post or online at williamsjettenders.com/warranty_

submission. Make a reference of the boat's HIN in the box below. Please keep this

handbook in a secure place and hand it to the new owner if you sell the boat.

Hull Identification Number (HIN):

The HIN is located on the right hand side of the transom face below the platform step. Record
