COMMISSIONING
10.1.
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES
The first commissioning of a yacht is essentially the start of its life, and the
importance of proper commissioning procedures at this time cannot be overstated.
The commissioning procedure must be performed by Beneteau dealer personnel or
those authorized by them. The owner also needs to concern himself with items
such as safety equipment, which is considered to be his responsibility. See the
Owner's Operator's Responsibilities section for details.
Complete lists of the pre-launch and post-launch checks employed during
commissioning are provided in this section for those owners interested in
understanding the decommissioning procedure, as well as for future use in any
recommissionings that may be required after periods of wet or dry storage. The
lists assume performance proffessionals and do not attempt to provide step-by-step
instructions. Details of your yachts systems are available in section 13 of this
manual and other manufacturers' instructions that are provided with the yacht.
The factory installed equipment, and items of responsibility that require
attention by owner during commissioning are included in the list with
the items marked with an asterisk (*), the owner installed equipment
that require attention during commissioning are marked with a double
asterisk (**).
