HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER PLATES ISO 10087 (C.I.N.) There are two hull identification number plates aboard. One is fitted to the right of the stern mirror at least 300 mm from the boat axle.The second plate is resined into a concealed point on the boat of which only the manufacturer knows the whereabouts.
Page 12
SECTION 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR INFLATING/DEFLATING THE TUBES The inflatable dinghy comprises tubes made up of two or more compartments that are not interconnected; valves for inflating/deflating (one per compartment) are maintenance-free since they are kept clean by simply plugging them up to stop dirt obstructing the mechanisms.
SECTION 3 SECTION 2 SAFETY REGULATIONS The manual contains recommendations and basic rules of conduct for using the boat in complete safety. Although it is not possible to offer safety information for all potential situations, in general it is recommended that you: •...
Page 14
SECTION 1 Close all openings,including hatches and portholes if there are any etc.etc. DANGER Fuel vapours are explosive and may linger in the lower part of a craft where they may accidentally ignite. During refuelling operations,keep all hatches and portholes closed. Post–fuelling procedures: Close the fuel tank cap and clean any spilled fuel.
SECTION 2 REMEMBER FIRE DANGER ALWAYS Fire may be caused by: Crew negligence when smoking,the presence aboard of flammable liquids,electrical contacts,a propulsion motor,errors in fuelling procedure or if maintenance has not be performed as required. Once again,it is important that the crew behave correctly and that the boat is kept in order to avoid serious damage to it and to persons.
Page 16
SECTION 1 After leaving the boat move away from it QUICKLY and ensure you keep well away from it, since the burning fuel may spread over the surface of the water, in the area around the boat. For the same reason, do not use rescue flares before reaching a safe distance from the boat, in order to avoid explosions.
Page 17
SECTION 2 - If flooding was caused by hull perforation, use any available object to plug it (rags/cloths/wooden tools etc.) and get back to the nearest port immediately. Remember that this is an inflatable dinghy and even when it floods the risk that it will sink is almost to be excluded (if the compartments are undamaged), so try and keep calm, and empty the water out of the cockpit as soon as possible.
Page 18
SECTION 1 However, when the sea is rough, keep all ports closed, wear lifejackets and try to get into the nearest port. Remember, it is implicit that the boat is the safest place for the crew, so the decision to abandon it must be rooted in extremely serious conditions where it is impossible to steer and there is a serious risk of sinking.
Page 19
SECTION 2 DANGER During navigation floatation devices must not be kept in compartments with key locks, but in easily accessible and clearly indicated locations. and all non-swimmers M HILDREN UST WEAR A FLOATATION . Always check that floatation devices for DEVICE AT ALL TIMES children are of the right size and that they are operational.
Page 20
SECTION 1 WARNING Replace expired or discharged fire-fighting equipment with similar or larger capacity devices. • personal floatation devices (belts/lifejackets, one for each person transported). • ring-type lifebuoy with a recovery line. WARNING Always service life-saving devices before the expiry date. WARNING Replace expired or damaged lifesaving devices with similar or larger capacity device.
Page 21
SECTION 2 In case of emergencies, the efficiency of the radiotelephone (if installed), of lifesaving equipment (life-rafts/jackets/flares), and above all their correct use, will be the salvation of the crew. It is therefore recommended that even occasional guests be trained so that in case of emergencies unpleasant incidents and scenes of panic are avoided.
Page 22
SECTION 1 SECTION 4 ADVICE ON HANDLING THE BOAT Once again, remember that for the boat to be safe it should be maintained in perfect efficiency, which is to say as close as possible to the state it was in at the time of delivery. Some Recommendations: - The boat must be safe, even when in port so we recommend checking mooring cables are always well adjusted and in tension,...
Page 23
SECTION 2 Before the start of each trip Before the start of each trip the boat should always be meticulously checked and it is a good idea to perform not only eye checks, but also overall functioning checks, including a verification of all electric and electronic devices.All safety equipment installed aboard for safety at sea should be checked and this means life- saving equipment, signal flares, fire-fighting and communications...
Page 24
SECTION 1 WARNING During navigation, we recommend that only a specific number of passengers be carried and that they remain within the defined areas, as indicated in the EC Certificate. NOTA: no liability can be accepted for accidents arising if tubes are used as seating during navigation.
Page 25
SECTION 2 ATTENTION Ream the compass regularly and ensure that other navigation instruments are efficient. Do not leave metal objects near the compass. ATTENTION Create a schedule to remind you of servicing and certificate expiry dates. • Check the correct functioning of steerage. •...
Page 26
SECTION 1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BOAT HAULAGE AND LOADING : failure to observe the indications shown in the ENERAL NOTE following pages may cause damage to the boat and injury to persons for which the manufacturer of the craft is not liable. E RECOMMEND APPLYING SEVERAL BASIC RULES WARNING Ensure that the towrope is undamaged and that the...
Page 27
DANGER No persons should linger in points where they may be injured if the dinghy slips out of position. WARNING No persons should linger inside the dinghy when it is being hauled/loaded. ATTENTION We recommend the use of a tow bar, to be fitted beneath the underbody, to avoid the hull being scraped.
Page 28
SECTION 1 DANGER Do not transit or linger near suspended boats. DANGER Do not work or linger inside the boat whilst it is suspended. Use a guide CABLE for checking the boat whilst it is suspended. (Belt position is only indicative).
Page 29
SECTION 2 ATTENTION Before hoisting ensure that all cables have been unhooked both from the trolley and from the dinghy. WARNING Hoisting should only occur after ensuring that the belts have been correctly placed.Avoid crushing rubberised fabric. WARNING Before the loading phase, suspended belt positions should ensure the perfect equilibrium of the dinghy.This operation should always be checked.
MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS National and international regulations severely prohibit discharge into the sea of: • Oils, hydrocarbons and fuels. • Any non-biodegradable products used for cleaning the boat. • Various types of paint • Refuse of all types. We also advise you not to cause disturbance to others, especially along the coast, with loud noise, which does occur when travelling at high speed.
Page 31
SECTION 2 SECTION 5 NOTIONS OF DINGHY SAILING Basic Manoeuvres: When sailing in a forward direction,the boat may swerve slightly from left to right.This is inherent to “V”-bottomed hulls and for this reason no intervention is necessary.Simply correct the swerve by moving the wheel slightly until cruising speed is reached.Remember that all boats wear.This means that the stern of the boat will shift in the opposite direction to the tacking.For instance,when the wheel is turned to the...
Page 32
COUNTER CLOCKWISE TACKING CLOCKWISE TACKING Motor right Motor left forward movement forward movement Motor left Motor right reverse reverse Bear in mind that when veering in reverse, the boat will not behave as it would when veering in forward gear. In fact, when moving in reverse it is more difficult to perform manoeuvres in small spaces.
Page 33
SECTION 2 To stop the dinghy, simply pull the accelerator lever back into neutral position.To stop more rapidly, pull the accelerator lever back into neutral position and when the motor is at minimum, gradually go into reverse.As soon as you realise that the boat has stopped, push the lever back to neutral position.Always apply extreme caution when approaching people in the water.
Page 34
Jetty mooring: Practice is required to achieve correct mooring of the boat. First of all, acquire everything that is required for mooring and docking, and store correctly until required.The best sources of information regarding the quantity and type of equipment required are certainly dealers and resellers.
Page 35
SECTION 2 In this way the boat stops and the stern approaches the jetty. When mooring larboard the procedure described above should be carried out in the inverse order.You do have to become familiar with these manoeuvres so we recommend practicing sufficiently. WARNING During mooring activities, all passengers and crew must remain aboard and in their places until all manoeuvres are...
Page 36
After using a seafaring device to check that preliminary operations are correct, leave the jetty and start the motor at minimum to move the boat out of the port.When the port is behind you at a safe distance, you can accelerate up to cruising speed.We recommend you avoid sharp acceleration and top cruising speed to avoid running unnecessary risks as well as using up far more fuel.
Page 37
SECTION 2 • Propellers:always keep well-serviced and check that the pitch is right.Standard propellers may not be suitable for the type of boat used and the load it carries.If the fully accelerated motor speed is not correct (see the motor operation manual),ask your dealer to try out different types of propellers.If the propeller is slightly bent or dented this may have a negative influence on the boat’s performance.
Page 38
SECTION 6 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLEANING/REPAIRS AND LAYING-UP CLEANING Underbody Cleaning: place the dinghy over a pit and ensure that it is securely positioned and that no falls or yielding may occur when you are working.With the help of a flat-ended wooden or metal spatula, scrape off as much of the vegetation as possible and use a well-soaped sponge to rub the underbody carefully.
Page 39
SECTION 2 dipped in linseed oil; for tar stains use a rag dipped in mixture. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Never ever use talc. Cleaning decks: to clean the exterior of the boat, use a soft sponge that does not scrape, with neutral soap or shampoo, and warm water. Rinse thoroughly with water and we recommend you protect finish with a layer of good quality boat wax to be found on the market.
Page 40
RENEWING ANTI-VEGETATION TREATMENT Independently of whether the boat has spent the winter in water or on dry land, we recommend that you renew the anti-vegetation treatment on the underbody before the start of your sailing season. If the boat was left in water through the winter: place the dinghy over a pit and clean the underbody as described above (1a).Then check that the existing layer of anti- vegetation treatment is whole;...
Page 41
SECTION 2 REPAIRS All repairs should be carried out with the dinghy on dry land and in the shade. Repairs to rubberized fabric (Ne/Hy) all repairs to punctures and rips on the tubes and on the bottom of the dinghy must be carried out when the dinghy is deflated and dry, in the shade and if possible working in a dry atmosphere (80% maximum relative humidity).
Page 42
Apply several layers of Gelcoat with a bristle brush until you achieve the depth required and then leave for at least six hours.Then rub with sandpaper dampened in water, with grit from 200 up to 1,000, then apply abrasive slurry to the surface and polish, then finish with a layer of boat wax.
Page 43
SECTION 2 LAYING-UP/WINTER STORAGE. • Motor, consult the manual enclosure. • Remove and store the battery in a dry place, protected from frost. (We recommend you cover the poles with mechanical grease for better insulation). • Grease all steering mechanisms. •...
