Load; Marine Growth; Bottom Paint - World Cat 2009 boat Owner's Manual

LOAD

Increased load can obviously affect performance, especially if the load is unbalanced. Passengers,
gear, and fuel are all examples of things which can affect your vessel. Fuel levels change through the
day, and greatly affect the attitude of your boat. When necessary, make adjustments to engine trim
and load distribution to compensate for fuel usage.

MARINE GROWTH

If you store your boat in the water or fail to clean it after each trip, the existence of marine growth
can contribute to a loss of performance. A decline in speed or increased fuel consumption can occur.
Prevent this by applying a marine growth inhibitor or by cleaning your boat thoroughly after each
trip.

BOTTOM PAINT

Bottom painting your catamaran will also change the performance. Although not significant, you can
expect a drop in speed between 1 and 5 miles per hour.
