Owner's Manual

Welcome aboard

Madam, Sir,

You have just taken delivery of your new BENETEAU boat and we thank you for the confidence you have shown us in ordering a vessel of our brand. The

whole BENETEAU team welcomes you aboard.

A BENETEAU is made to last, in order to bring you all the pleasure you expect from a vessel over a period of many years each boat is subject to the utmost

attention to detail from the design stage right through to launching.

This manual was meant to help you to enjoy your boat comfortably and safely. It includes the boat specifications, the equipment provided or installed, the

systems and tips on her operation and maintenance. Some of the equipment described in this manual may be optional.

Your BENETEAU dealer will be able to help and advise you in the use and maintenance of your boat.

Read this user's guide/owner's manual carefully and get to know your boat before using it.

The better you know your vessel the more pleasure you will get from being at the helm.

The sea is a source for learning. Caution based on a knowledge of one's own limits and those of the boat is the pre-requisite for an accomplished sailor.

Even when your boat has been adapted for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the design categories A, B, Cand Dmay vary, ranging from

severe conditions to strong storms subject to the risks of exceptional waves and gusts of wind, this meaning they are dangerous conditions in which only an

experienced, fit and well trained crew manoeuvring a well maintained boat can sail in a satisfactory manner.

This user's guide/owner's manual is not a course in safety at sea or about sailing sense. If this is your first boat or if you change to a new type of boat which

you are not used to, get some training in boat control and sailing to ensure your safety and comfort. Your dealer, your international sailing association or your

yacht club will be very happy to recommend local sailing schools or professional instructors.

Make sure the sea and wind conditions will correspond to the category of your boat and you and your crew are able to handle the boat in these

conditions.

Always listen to the weather forecast before you put out to sea.

Keep this user's guide/owner's manual in a safe place and hand it over to the new owner if you sell your boat.

Introduction

The users of the boat are informed of the following:

This user guide/owner's manual is not a maintenance or repair guide. In case

of difficulty do not hesitate to call on the services of your

concessionnaire BENETEAU.

Any alterations which may affect the safety specifications of the boat must

be assessed, carried out and recorded by persons qualified to do so. Any change

in the distribution of the vessel's mass (adding a radar, altering the mast, changing

an engine, etc) may affect the stability, trim and performance of your boat.

The BENETEAU shipyards may not be held responsible for any alterations

which they have not approved.

The complete crew must be equipped appropriately.

In numerous countries, a licence, an authorization or a training course is

requested. Make sure you have this legal authorization before you use your boat.

Adapt the use of your boat to her condition that wears out with time and use.

Any boat, however solid she may be, may be severely damaged if badly used.

This is not compatible with a secure navigation. Always adapt the speed and

direction of your boat to the conditions of the sea.

The boat shall not be loaded more with than the maximum load

recommended by the builder, in particular the total weight of the food supplies,

of the different equipment that are not supplied by the builder and of the persons

on board.

The weight of the boat shall be properly distributed.

The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts.

In case of heavy weather, the hatches, lockers and doors shall be closed in order to

minimize the risk of water coming in.

Breakers are serious dangers to stability.

The water in the bilge shall be kept at its minimum.

The stability may be reduced when you tow a boat or when you lift heavy weights

with the davits or the boom.

If your boat is equipped with a liferaft, carefully read the instructions. The boat

must have on board all the proper safety equipment (lifejackets, buoys, harness, flares,

liferafts, etc.) depending on the type of vessel, its cerfication, the country, the weather

conditions encountered, etc.

The crew must be familiar with the use of all the safety equipment and the

emergency safety procedures (MOB, towing etc.). Sailing schools organise regular

training sessions.

Anyone on the deck shall wear a life jacket or a buoyancy aid.

The safety regulations as defined by the sailing code and enforced by the ’’COLREG’’

should be observed.
