    General Information...
  • Page 10 General Information Introduction This manual has been compiled to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the craft; the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information on their operation. Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with the craft before using it. This owner’s manual is not an instruction manual on boating safety or seamanship.
  • Page 11 General Information...
  • Page 12 General Information Introduction - continued In some countries, a licence or similar authorisation is required, or specific regulations may be in force. Always maintain your craft properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur in time and as a result of heavy use, or misuse, of the craft. Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged it not used properly.
  • Page 13 General Information Recreational Craft Directive - Design Category B This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 8 and the associated wave heights (significant wave height up to 4m*) Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length, or on coastal waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves and the distance from the coast is sufficient to allow the conditions to develop.

  • Page 15 General Information Builders Plate Some of the information opposite is given on the builders plate mounted on the helm. Gender Any reference to the masculine gender should be taken to include the feminine: e.g. “helmsman” includes “helmswoman”. Optional items This manual includes information concerning optional items that are not fitted to all boats.
  • Page 16 General Information Information relating to potential hazards is highlighted by this symbol. This information is critical to the safe operation of your craft and is given in the following three formats to allow you to assess the degree of hazard. Danger: Denotes that an extreme intrinsic hazard exists which would result in a high probability of death or irreparable injury if proper precautions are not taken.
  • Page 17 General Information Danger: Downflooding Angle. This means that the craft has been designed to self-right if she heels over to a maximum of the angle quoted either side of upright. If heeled over to an angle greater than this, water may enter the hull through openings such as the engine room vents and the boat will be in grave and imminent danger of capsizing or sinking.
  • Page 18 General Information Danger: Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard. Danger: Stability is particularly affected by the addition of mass high up on the craft’s structure. Danger: In rough weather, opening panels, hatches, windows, lockers and doorways should be kept closed to minimise the risk of flooding. Warning: Stability may be reduced when towing or when lifting weights with any passerelle or crane system fitted.
