REMINDER OF THE CATEGORIES
Category A: the boat is designed for sailing in winds that may exceed force 8 on the Beaufort Scale and in waves of a significant height of 4 m or more and the boat is to a large extent self - sufficient. Unusual conditions such as hurricanes are excluded. You may meet with such conditions when sailing long crossings, for instance across the oceans, or close to the shore when you are not protected from the winds and waves over several hundreds of nautical miles.

Category B: the boat is designed for sailing in winds that may not exceed force 4 on the Beaufort Scale and in corresponding waves (waves of a significant height of 4 m or less (see Note below). You may meet with such conditions when sailing at open sea during quite a sufficient time, or close to the shore when you are not protected from the winds and waves over several dozens of nautical miles. You may also meet with such conditions when sailing quite important inland seas which could produce waves of this height.

Category C: the boat is designed for sailing in winds that may not exceed force 6 on the Beaufort Scale and in corresponding waves (waves of a significant height of 2 m or less (see Note below). You may meet such conditions when sailing exposed inland waters, estuaries and inshore waters with moderate weather conditions.

Category D: the boat is designed for sailing in winds that may not exceed force 8 on the Beaufort Scale and in corresponding waves (occasional waves of 0.5 m maximum (see Note below). You may meet such conditions when sailing non exposed inland waters and inshore waters under good weather conditions.

NOTE - The significant height of a wave is the average height of the upper third of the waves, which corresponds more or less to the height an experienced observer can assess. Some waves will be twice as high as this value.

SAFETY

Fire

Risks

The main risks are related to the "Motorization", to the "Electrical system" and to the "Gas and fresh water system" sections.
Please refer to the appropriate sections.

Fire fighting equipment

Portable extinguishers: to be provided by the owner. The enforcement of the national regulation under the flag of which you are sailing is your responsibility. The boat, when sailing, must be fitted with portable extinguishers.
We advise you to provide at least 1 extinguisher within a 5 meter distance to each berth, within a 2 meter distance of the extinguisher access hole to the engine compartment, within a 2 meter distance to every appliance using a naked flame and, eventually, 1 extinguisher within 1 meter of the steering wheel.
We advise a total capacity of at least 8A / 68B for all the portable extinguishers, each of them with a least a capacity of 5A / 34B. The CO2 extinguishers have to be used for the kitchen or electrical fires.
The vessel is delivered with 1 CO2 extinguisher in every engine compartment.
The location is defined in the diagram below. This location is the same for any of the 3 versions.

6. First aid kit
7. VHF (optional)

RECOMMENDATION
Some elements do not have pre-determined location.
Fill-in this diagram with your own safety equipment.

1. Hammer to break the glass in case of overturning
2. Manhole hatch

General points

Do not install free hanging curtains or any other textile next to or over the cooking appliances or any other naked flame devices.
Ensure the bilges remain clean and check regularly there is no vapor or leaks of fuel and gas.

Do not store flammable products in the engine compartment.

Do not leave the boat unsupervised when using cooking and or heating devices.
Do not smoke while handling fuel or gas.

Make sure the fire fighting equipment can be reached easily when people are on board. Inform the crew of:

• the location and functioning of the fire fighting equipment.
• the location of discharge valves in the engine compartment.
• the location of routes and exits.

In case you had to replace some elements of the fire fighting equipment, only use appropriate appliances, bearing the same reference or having similar technical specifications and fire resistance.

If non flammable products are stored in the engine compartment, they must be stored in order not to fall on the machinery and they should not prevent neither the entrance nor the exit of the engine compartment.

• Do not block the way out nor the hatchways.
• Do not block the safety control such as: fuel valves, gas valves, electrical system switches.
• Do not block the access to the portable extinguishers fitted in the cupboards.
• Do not use gas lamp in the boat.
• Do not alter any equipment on board (especially the electrical, fuel and gas systems) nor allow non qualified people to alter any equipment of the boat.
• Do not fill up the fuel tanks nor the gas cartridges when the engine is running or when cooking or heating devices are in use.

Fire fighting equipment maintenance
It falls to the owner / user:
To have the fire fighting equipment regularly checked, respecting the frequency indicated on the equipment

• If the portable fire fighting equipment has passed its use-by date or if it is discharged, to replace it with devices of same or superior extinguishing capacity.
• If the fixed extinguishing systems have passed their use - by date or if they are discharged, to have them filled up or replaced.

Visibility

Visibility from the command post may be hindered because of extreme leaning due to the vessel's trim or because of other factors linked to one or several of the following conditions:

• Load and load distribution
• Speed
• Sea conditions
• Rain and spray
• Obscurity and fog
• Light in the boat
• Position of the upper or lateral awnings
• People or removable equipment in the helmsman's field of view
• In motor-driven boats, rapid acceleration or transition from drive-limit to hydroplaning
• Angle of the trim regulator with regard to the engine (for the vessels equipped)
• Angle of the trim regulator with regard to the hull (for the vessels equipped)
• Sailing heel, the sails reducing the visibility leeward.

The international regulation to prevent collisions at sea (COLREG) and course regulations make mandatory a permanent and proper supervision and the observance of priority. To observe these rules is essential.

Stability and danger of infiltration

Reduce your speed before making tight bends in order to avoid losing control.
While sailing, keep every porthole, window and removable door closed.
Stability is reduced when upper storage spaces are loaded.
Stability may be reduced when another boat is towed or when heavy weights are lifted with the davits or the boom.
Breaking waves are serious dangers both for stability and water infiltration.
Fasten the doors and hatchways in case of rough seas.
Never sail a boat with a negative trim adjustment (low stem) when sailing high speed.
This can induce the boat to heel over and therefore cause an instability in the turns. Use a negative trim when going from limit speed to hydroplaning and at lower speed in the chop.
The compartment marked as being air pockets should not be pierced.
If your boat is certified as unsinkable, it is capable of bearing its passengers, even in case of infiltration.
On boats where a bilge pump is not required, it is the responsibility of the user / owner to have on board at least a bucket / bailer equipped with a mean to prevent its loss overboard.

Prevention of man overboard

A swimming ladder is located on the aft starboard transom.

1. Swimming ladder
2. Safety ladder

A safety ladder is integrated in the aft starboard transom.

Ensure that the means of returning on board is immediately accessible and usable by a person alone and in the water.

The deck areas which are not considered as being part of the working deck and which should not be used when sailing are hatched on the diagram below.

Regularly check the lifelines:
Considering the metal lifelines, check the appearance of rust-spots and corrosion, particularly at connection points.
Considering the synthetic lifelines, have them changed as soon as the first signs of wear and tear appear because of chafing or of UV.

Motorization

Directions for use

Do not install on this vessel a heavier or more powerful engine than what has been recommended: this may induce a risk for the stability.
Stop the engine. Do not smoke when filling up the fuel tank.
For outboard engines fitted with a jerrican, fill up the portable tank outside the boat in a well ventilated area, far from any fire risk.
Fuel stored somewhere else than in the tanks (jerricans, feed tanks...) must be kept in a ventilated place.
Before starting, ensure that the engine hold is clean and dry. Any trace of fuel in the bilges should make you postpone your departure.
Avoid any contact between flammable products and hot parts of the engine.
Locate the extinguisher access hole which would allow you to knock down a fire in the engine hold. For boats equipped with a petrol engine, ventilate the engine compartment using the engine blower during 4 minutes in order to evacuate any possible petrol vapors.
For certain models, a fixed extinguisher system, allowing knocking down a fire in the engine hold, is provided. Learn where to find its activation switch and how it works (see "Fire fighting equipment"). It is necessary to ventilate the engine hold after having used it.
Check that the apertures for ventilation are clear of any obstruction.
Do not block nor modify the ventilation system.

Before starting, ensure that:

• the engine control is not engaged,
• the water control intake valve of the cooling system is open and check that there is some water actually coming out of the exhaust when the engine has started (water may be mixed with exhaust gas in case of wet exhaust).

It is not recommended to work on moving parts or next to them (engine, line shaft, etc.).

If an intervention is made necessary:

• stop the engine and or the rotation of the line shaft before working on one of their parts.
• beware of loose - fitting clothing, hair, rings which may get caught up. Wear appropriate clothes (gloves, hat, etc.).

If equipped with a petrol engine, beware of the danger of falling asleep because of carbon dioxides fumes.
In case of fuel spillage on the deck when filling up, have it cleaned before starting.
Anticipate the deterioration of fuel pipes.
Fuel hoses have to be replaced by hoses bearing the same markings.

Electrical system

Electrical panel and circuit and 12V-24V

Never work on a live electric circuit.
The batteries must be thoroughly fastened.
Do not block the battery ventilation conducts: some of them let out hydrogen, which could be an explosion risk.
Batteries have to be handled with care. In the event of electrolyte projection, abundantly rinse the part of the body which has been affected and consult a doctor.
In order to avoid short-circuiting between the two poles of the battery, do not store any conductive objects next to the batteries (metallic tools...).
When charging, connecting or disconnecting the batteries, switch off the battery cut-outs.
Never modify the specifications of the appliances protecting against overloads.
Never modify an installation. Ask a technician skilled in marine electricity to do so.
Never install or replace electrical equipment or appliances by new components exceeding the circuit amperage.
Do not leave the boat unsupervised when the electrical system is under power, this excepting the automatic bilge pump and the fire and burglar protection systems.
Please note that the 12 V circuit wires are red for live and black for negative.
Those of the 24 V circuit are white or brown for live and blue for negative.

220 V CIRCUIT

MULTIFUNCTION TOUCH SCREEN

110V - 220V Electrical system

Some boats are fitted with a 110 V or 220 V circuit (in their standard version or as an option according to the model).

It is necessary to observe the following rules in order to avoid electric shocks and fire:
Never work on the live electric circuit.
Connect the boat shore supply cable in the boat before plugging it to the shore supply socket.
Never let the end of the boat shore supply cable fall into the water.
When the shore supply socket is plugged, there could be a difference between the "earth" on the boat and the one of the power grid. This could create a danger of electrical cross - currents and therefore electrocution (particularly for nearby swimmers).
Turn off the shore power with the cut off device fitted on board before plugging or unplugging the boat shore supply cable.
Unplug the boat shore supply cable first on the shore side.
If the reverse polarity indicator is on, immediately unplug the cable. Solve the polarity problem before using the electrical system of the boat.
Thoroughly close the shore socket cover.
Do not modify the connections of the boat / shore supply cable; only use compatible connections.

Do not modify the boat electrical system nor the relevant diagrams. It is necessary that any modification and maintenance are carried out by a technician skilled in marine electricity. Have the system checked at least twice a year.
Unplug the vessel's supply when not in use, in order to avoid any fire risk.
Connect the electrical appliances metallic covers or boxes to the protective conductor of the boat (green conductor with yellow stripes).
Only use electrical devices with double insulation or earth.
Please note that live wires are blue, neutral wires are brown and earth wires are green and yellow.

Stove unit

Never put flammable products over the stove unit (curtains, papers, towel...).
Do not leave the boat unsupervised when gas or alcohol devices are in use.
In the case you smell an odour of gas or if the flames are extinguished accidentally (even though gas supplying is automatically cut in case of extinction), close the taps and create a draft to evacuate remaining gas. Find the cause of the problem.
Do not smoke or use a naked flame when looking for a gas leak or changing a gas cartridge or during any other intervention the gas system.

Naked flame devices using fuel use the oxygen of the cabin and let out combustion products in the boat. It is necessary to ventilate when these devices are in use. Do not block air vents and check that devices with smoke conducts function properly

Close the supplying pipe valve and the taps on the gas cartridges when the devices are not in use. For stove units with fitted cartridge, the cartridge must be changed outside the boat. Test the stove before bringing it back in the galley. Carefully lock the stove brackets into position when reinstalling them.
Never use cooking devices as heating devices.
Never obstruct the air vents.
Check that the tap burners are closed before opening the supplying pipe valve and cartridge tap.

Close the taps before changing the cartridge and immediately in case of emergency.
Store the spare bottles in the ventilated spaces on the deck or in the lockers intended to this purpose, being gas tight and ventilated to the outside.
Do not obstruct the access to the components of the gas system, particularly to the taps (cartridges and stove unit).
The gas hoses connecting the cartridge and the stove unit must be changed according to the local regulations. Only use hoses complying with your local regulations.
Never use gas cartridge spaces to store other equipment.
Be careful not to damage the cartridge thread to which you will connect the pressure-regulator.
Check the pressure-regulator every year and have it replaced if necessary. Use the same pressure-regulators as those already fitted. Ensure the taps of empty cartridges are closed and disconnected. Keep all protection devices, covers and plugs.
Do not use ammoniac-based solvents for cleaning or finding a leak.
