Training
It is advisable to practice boat handling. There is plenty of boating literature available.
Navigation courses are arranged by local yacht clubs or authorities.
Each country has also different regulations. Find out what are the needs for training in Your
own area.
However, you only become confident in boat handling, navigating, docking and anchoring
after long practical experience.

Basic data
Manufacturer: Konekesko Oy, Marine P.O.B. 145 FIN-01301 VANTAA, Tel +358 10 5311
Design category: ABCD
Design category is explained as follows:
Category A: 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 (see
note below), and vessels 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.
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 4 m, see note
below). Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient
length or on coastal waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves for
several dozens of nautical miles. These conditions may also be experienced on
inland seas of sufficient size for the wave height to be generated.
Category C: This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 6
and the associated wave heights (Significant wave height up to 2 m, see note
below). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in
estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D: This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 4
and the associated wave heights (Occasional maximum waves of 0,5 m height).
Such conditions may be encountered on sheltered inland waters, and in coastal
waters in fine weather.
