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.

MOORING LINES A sufficient number of mooring lines suitably sized and suitable for the environment shall be on board for mooring your boat. - Always manoeuvre your boat using the engine. - Make allowance for the current and wind when you handle your boat. - Protect your boat to the highest degree with suitably sized fenders.
Page 43
STABILITY Breaking waves represent a serious danger for stability and for taking in water. Close the companionway doors and hatches in heavy seas. 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.
Page 44
WARNING Turn off all battery breakers before leaving the vessel (risk of total battery park). GROUND TACKLE As a rule, set the anchor in at least 3 times the depth of water. ANCHORING WITHOUT WINDLASS - Have your boat pointed into the wind and without speed. - Pay out the chain while moving back slowly.
Page 45
ANCHORING BY HAND WITH USE OF A MANUAL WINDLASS - Release the windlass brake using the handle located in the chain locker so as to allow the chain lifter to turn freely and to release the anchor from the stem fitting - Re-engage the brake and let the anchor hang until the mooring position is reached.
Page 46
MAINTENANCE OF THE DECK Preferably wash your boat on shore. Use as few cleaning agents as possible. Don't use solvents or aggressive detergent agents (Refer to chapter 3 "Hull"). Don't discharge cleaning agents into the water. Regularly brush the deck with a degreasing shampoo and fresh water. DECK FITTING - Rinse thoroughly all your equipments with fresh water.
STEERING GEAR The steering is hydraulic. Access - Steering components Cockpit locker MAINTENANCE - Regularly check: • The tightness of the steering system components. - Lubricate all the elements. Maintain the nylon, ertalon or teflon bushes with only a suitable lubricant. Note: Do not hesitate to consult your dealer about system maintenance.

GENERATOR - SCHEMA GENERAL POINTS: A generator is a device that can produce electricity (220V or 110V) from a mechanical energy (fuel). The generator will fed the onboard equipment operating at 220V or 110V, moored or sailing. OPERATION: - Open the raw water intake valves and evacuation valves. - Turn the generator's battery switch to the ON position.

Page 88
AIR CONDITIONING GENERAL POINTS: The air-conditioning cools the air temperature inside the boat (only when the boat is floating in water). The cooling circuit consists of one or more compressors that operate independently. A compressor is called "reversible" because it can heat the boat if the sea water temperature exceeds 10°C.
Page 89
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION TYPE OF MOTORISATION Your boat is fitted with two in-board diesel engines. The transmission is of a shaftline type. Underwater exhaust. 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.
Page 93
PRECAUTIONS OF USE, OPERATING ADVICE General point - In this vessel, do not install an engine with a greater power and weight than that recommended, this will create a danger for its stability. - Fuel which is stored elsewhere than in the fuel-tanks (portable tanks, jerrycans, etc...) must be kept in a ventilated space.

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 101
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 106
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 103/108...
Page 108
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 109
ENGINE The engine winterization shall be carried out by a professional. Depending on the boat location, afloat or ashore, winterization is different. Here are a few major tasks to carry out: Afloat - Drain the cooling system and fill it with antifreeze. - Shut off the battery switches, grease the terminals and check the battery voltage.
