  • Page 7: Introduction

    A JEANNEAU is made to last, in order to bring you all the pleasure you expect from a vessel over a period of many years. Each boat is subject to the utmost attention to detail from the design stage right through to launching.
  • Page 8 This manual has been produced to help you enjoy using your boat in all safety. It contains the details of the boat and of all the equipment provided and installed on your boat, as well as the instructions for their use. Read it carefully and really get to know your boat before using it. This owner's manual is not in any way a navigation or mariner's training manual.

  • Page 15: Design Categories

    DESIGN CATEGORIES Category A: At high sea This craft is designed to operate in winds that may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and in significant wave heights of 4 m and above. This craft is largely self-sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages, for example across oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several hundred nautical miles.

  • Page 17: Stability And Buoyancy

    3 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY STABILITY DATA - Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat.
