Behaviour Of The Boat - Nanni T4.230 Operator's Manual

Behaviour of the
boat
If this is your first boat or if you are
not familiar with the boat, we urge
you to practice controlling the boat
at slow speed as a first step.
Avoid violent manoeuvres or
unexpected speed changes while
sailing. People can fall over or
overboard.
Keep also in mind that the weight
distribution (passengers, equip-
ments, etc.) inside the boat has
an impact on the behaviour of the
boat when cruising. Depending the
position of the load, the behaviour
of the boat may change, particularly
in the case of a planning hull.
The condition of the hull and the
propeller is also a critical factor. A
dirty and / or damaged hull will mo-
dify the behaviour of the boat and
therefore the engine performance.
It can also cause cavitation which
can seriously erode the surface of
the propeller, the drive, etc.
