  • Page 5 A BENETEAU 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 6 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 7 Notes on reading this manual The various symbols used throughout the manual for crucial safety information are as follows: DANGER Indicates the existence of a serious inherent danger with a high risk of death or serious injury if the appropriate precautions are not taken. WARNING Indicates the existence of a danger which could lead to injury or death if the appropriate precautions are not taken.
