Section 1: Introduction & General Boat Description
1A1: Manual Objective and Limitations
This manual is intended to introduce you to "OceanFlyer", its systems, and features, allowing
you to operate it with the confidence and self-assurance necessary to enjoy your cruising vacation to its
fullest. It is not intended to replace a basic understanding of seamanship, including navigation skills,
weather interpretation or boat handling. You are expected to have an understanding of these subjects
obtained through other sources, including training, seminars, reading and perhaps most important,
experience.
There is no way that a small manual like this one can answer every question or give you a
solution to every circumstance, foreseen or unforeseen. If you have a question which limits your
understanding or handling of this vessel, ask your NWE checkout skipper or contact the office for
details (you might make a list of questions as you read the manual, saving them all up to ask at one
time).
1A2: How the Manual is Organized
The manual is divided into six sections numbered "1" to "6" plus an index (Section 7). Within
each section are subsections lettered "A" to "Z" as required.
In section 4, which deals with the specific information about the vessel's equipment and
systems, the manual is organized by major categories, such as "Anchor", "Dinghy, Davit & Outboard",
"Fresh Water System", etc.
Note that within "Electrical Systems" are the "Electrical System-AC " and "Electrical
System-DC" as sub-categories, and within them are such items that are a part of
each, such as "Inverter", "Generator", etc.; Likewise, all electronic equipment is in
the "Electronics" section.
A complete index is at the back of the manual in Section 7.
