This user guide/owner's manual is not a maintenance or repair guide. In case of difficulty do not hesitate to call on the services of your concessionaire PRESTIGE. Any alterations which may affect the safety specifications of the boat must be assessed, carried out and recorded by persons qualified to do so.
Anyone on the deck shall wear a life jacket or a buoyancy aid. The safety regulations as defined by the sailing code and enforced by the ’’COLREG’’ should be observed. NAME PLATE: Some of the data is shown on the manufacturer's plate fixed to the boat. The explanation of the data is given in the appropriate chapters of this manual.

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.

ELECTRONIC LEAD LINES The loch and depth sounder transducers are located in the engine compartment to port. Keep the log sensor cowl close to the instrument so as to be able to intervene in complete safety. Do not store material on top of the sensors. AUTO PILOT The pilot consists of several elements listed as follows: - For use and maintenance of the material consult the manufacturer instructions.
Page 88
EQUIPMENT GENERAL INTRODUCTION (As far as possible) use electric appliances with double insulation or with three conductors (Neutral-Live wire-Ground). ELECTRONIC Wire runs are available to complete the boat equipment. Do not install electronic instruments or repeaters less than 1,50 m away from the radio loudspeakers.

DANGER - Stop the engine and refrain from smoking during fuel tank filling. - Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed) compartment are well cleared. WARNING - The tanks' nominal capacity cannot be fully used due to the load and the need to maintain the correct trim.
Page 93
Filling Take the general precautions stated in chapter 8 about the water tank filling. Fill the fuel tank using the filler. In order to protect the deck from possible fuel splash, wet the area around the filler with sea water before you remove the filler cap. In case of splashing rinse the deck thoroughly (deck filler closed).

ENGINE FITTING Engine These instructions give detailed explanations on proper operation of the engine. - Refill before the fuel tanks have almost run dry (the fuel system may be stopped for lack of fuel). - Make sure you have enough fuel before sailing. Access to the engine Access to the engine is gained through the engine compartment.

Fuel filter Engine running problems may have different origins, including dirty fuel. The injection pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from the condensation resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap either not closed properly or with a damaged seal. In order to prevent any water infiltration, the fuel runs through two filters: - One filter is an integral part of the engine, its role is to filter fuel very finely.
Page 99
The instrument panel has all the testing functions of the engine and it does not require any special precaution (refer to engine leaflet). Check the clutch and accelerator cables (lubricate the end fittings and forks). VISIBILITY FROM THE STEERING STATION The international regulations to prevent collision at sea (COLREG) and the course regulations make mandatory a permanent and proper surveillance and the respect of priority.
Page 100
NAVIGATION: REMINDER OF SOME ADVICE Stability During sailing keep all the portholes, windows and doors closed. - The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts. - Stability may be reduced when towing a boat or when heavy weights are lifted with the davits.

LAUNCHING RECOMMENDATIONS A lot of skill and care is required to commission your PRESTIGE boat. The proper working of all your boat's equipment is the result of the quality of the commissioning operations. In order to remain completely under guarantee in the case of any failure of parts or materials the first launching and the first trials of different equipment must be carried out by your PRESTIGE dealer.
Page 104
AFTER LAUNCHING - Check the sounder and speedometer fittings for tightness if need be. - Open the valves and make sure that they are tight with the hull and relevant hose. - Check the stuffing box for watertightness (Refer to chapter 11 "Stuffing box"). Before starting the engine, refer to chapter 11 "Engine".
WINTER STORAGE LAYING UP PROTECTION AND MAINTENANCE 101/106...
Page 106
LAYING UP - Take ashore all the ship's log, the ropes that are not used for mooring, the galley equipment, supplies, clothes, the safety equipment, batteries, the gas cylinder. - Mark again the safety equipment, check the expiration dates, have the liferaft overhauled. - Take advantage of this laying up to draw up a complete inventory of the equipment.
Page 107
EXTERIOR - Thoroughly rinse the hull and deck. - Grease all moving and mechanical parts (latches, hinges, locks, etc). - Protect all ropes and mooring lines against chafing. - Protect the boat as well as possible with fenders. - Make sure the boat is properly moored. - Bring the removable cushions inside (washed with soapy water then dried) when the vessel is unoccupied.
