I) Introduction - BENETEAU OCEANIS 473 Owner's Manual

I) INTRODUCTION

Dear Madam, dear Sir,
You have just taken delivery of your new BENETEAU, and first of all we would like to thank you for
your confidence in choosing a product from our range.
A BENETEAU is built to last: each boat receives attentive care right down to the slightest details, from
her design until she leaves our factory and is launched, so that she might provide you with many years of joy,
which you have a right to expect.
This manual has been compiled to help you use your boat with pleasure and in complete safety. It
contains details of the boat and her installations and information relative to her use and maintenance. Please read
it carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before casting off.
If this is your first boat or if you are changing for a type of boat with which you are not familiar, for
your comfort and safety, make sure that you obtain hand over and operating experience before taking command
of your boat. Your dealer, national sailing federation or your yacht club will be only too happy to recommend
local sailing schools or competent instructors.
Enjoy your sailing.
(1) Throughout their careers, our boats are regularly improved in line with our experience and that of
our customers, this is why the characteristics of the owner's manual are not contractual and can be modified
without prior notice and without an obligation to update it.
Moreover, this document, whose purpose is general, may sometimes list certain equipment or cover
certain subjects that do not concern your boat. In case of doubt, please refer to your boat's inventory.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU
