1Introduction and important notes

This manual is intended to familiarize you with your XC T and to help you

operate your XC T safely.

In addition to the description of the XC T Basic and other accessories, it also

contains information on the safe handling/operation of the XC T.

Please keep this manual in a safe place and hand it over to the new owner

when you sell the XC T.

1.1 XC T model options

The XC T is a multi-sport catamaran where you are not limited to one

discipline. The basis for all model options is the XC T Basic. On this basis you

can upgrade your XC T with additional options. ll model options of the XC T

can be combined with each other. For example, you can add the RowVista

forward rudder system to the XC T Sail. No matter which options you

choose, they are all designed to be easily mounted on the XC T without tools

and to be quickly ready for use.

The description of the XC T Sail model option and the RowVista and

RowMotion model options can be found in their own supplementary manuals.

There is also a separate manual for eProp outboard motor.

1.2 Safety instructions (for all XC T models)

Carefull read the following safet instructions and all warnings and notes

in this manual before starting up our XCAT.

WARNING

Whether on land or water, STAY AWAY FROM POWER LINES! Contact

with power lines can result in serious injur or death.

Inform yourself about the legal regulations of the country or region in which

you are commissioning the XC T.

Make sure that the expected wind and sea conditions correspond to design

category C (nearshore waters) and that you and, if applicable, your crew are

capable of handling the XC T in these conditions. ny watercraft, no matter

how strongly built, can suffer serious damage from improper handling. This is

not compatible with safe boating. Therefore, always adjust the speed and

direction of travel of your XC T to the sea conditions. Take weather reports

seriously and be aware of wind conditions, local currents and tides. Be

Introduction and important notes

Manual XC T Basic Page 5 Edition: 05/2023

responsible. Do not overestimate your abilities at sea and do not neglect

safety regulations. Never use the XC T while you or your passengers are

under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. Protect yourself from

the sun in hot weather and take plenty of water to drink.

Before operating the XC T, check all components for possible damage.

lways pull the forestay completely tight when sailing to prevent the

bowsprit from coming loose from its mount. Do not let line or other objects

hang away from the boat while sailing - there is a risk of getting caught on

bushes or rocks. void unnecessary grounding. Never drag the boat over

rocks.

void the risk of injury by making sure that all passengers have legs and arms

on the boat before docking and casting off. Learn to handle the boat in a

variety of situations. Give your passengers an introduction to how to handle

the boat so they can leave control of the boat to another passenger in case

of an emergency. Inform a person on shore of the destination and planned

return.

The maximum recommended payload of 240 kg and the recommended

number of maximum 3 persons must not be exceeded. Regardless of the

number of people on board, the total weight of people and equipment must

never exceed the recommended maximum payload. Loading must always be

done carefully, distributing the loads appropriately to maintain the design

trim.

Protect yourself and, if necessary, your crew by wearing appropriate life

jackets/ buoyancy aids and cold weather protective clothing. Take into

account that in some countries there are legal requirements to wear

buoyancy aids that comply with national rules at all times. If you are sailing

the XC T alone and unattended in waters whose shore you cannot reach by

swimming, you should, if necessary, connect yourself to the XC T with a

suitable rubber line (e.g. 6 m long and 5 mm thick). Do not sail alone below

10° Celsius water temperature!

Do not use a fixed line to attach yourself to the XC T. There is a D NGER OF

LIFE if the boat capsizes!

Introduction and important notes

Manual XC T Basic Page 6 Edition: 05/2023

Observe the traffic regulations: You always participate in water traffic with

your XC T, even if you use it for your recreational pleasure. Water traffic is

regulated by ordinances, which differ according to the area of application.

Machine-driven vehicles (motorboats, personal watercraft) are required to

give way to sailing vessels. Muscle-powered vehicles without their own boat

drive (paddlers, pedal boats, rowing boats) are required to give way to

sailing vessels. So always check which XC T model option you are currently

using and who you are obligated to yield to. But forcing right of way is

forbidden! Therefore, give way yourself in time with the "Last Minute

Maneuver". Commercial shipping always has the right of way! In the inland

and coastal area, it is generally valid that vehicles of the professional

navigation have the right of way. This includes in particular: Ferries, work

vehicles, police and rescue services, fishing vessels with deployed nets. So

keep your distance and avoid them!

When on the water with the XC T, always carry an alternate emergency

propulsion system, such as a paddle, oar system, or outboard motor.

1.3 Important notes for driving with motor

Observe the legal regulations of the country or region in which you are

operating the XC T (registration requirement, driver's license requirement,

etc.).

Do not use a motor that exceeds the motor power specified in the operating

instructions.

Do not smoke on the boat.

Make sure that the tank level is sufficient and that there is enough oil.

For electric outboards, check that the battery is fully charged before each

use.

Secure the motor to the boat (by line or chain).

Be on the lookout for others near the beach and drive only in designated

driving areas.

Introduction and important notes

Manual XC T Basic Page 7 Edition: 05/2023

1.4 Important notes on transport and storage

Secure the XC T during transport, e.g. on the roof of the car, using suitable

fastening material, e.g. the XC T transport kit.

Check the tensioning straps regularly and retighten them if necessary.

Observe the instructions in the manuals for your vehicle and the roof rack

system, particularly with regard to maximum roof loads and maximum

speeds.

If you store the hulls on the car roof for a long time, loosen the tension

straps so that the hulls do not warp permanently.

lso, when storing the hulls in other rooms such as garage, basement, etc.,

do not fix the hulls with tension belts.

Do not use tensioning straps with ratchet, as there is a risk that the hulls will

be damaged by excessive tensioning. Therefore, only use tensioning straps

with a simple clamping lock.

If the hulls are colder than the center and side beams after transport,

assembly may be difficult because the distances no longer match due to

different expansion coefficients. In this case, store all parts at the same

temperature for some time before assembly.

Clean the boat after each use. Free it from salt residues or stones to prevent

possible damage.

lways rinse all parts with fresh water after use in salt water.

plastic polishing compound can be used to polish the hulls for heavier dirt.

lways store the hulls with the keel upwards so that water does not

permanently run into the flanges.

Do not store the hulls permanently in the sun on one side, otherwise they

may warp.

Do not store the hulls in the sun under a cover. This can cause heat buildup

and warping of the hulls.

Introduction and important notes

Manual XC T Basic Page 8 Edition: 05/2023

Do not store the outboard seats, masthead-float or fender permanently in

the blazing sun, as they are not completely UV-resistant. Dismantle the

outboard seats after sailing and store them in the shade or cover them (also

recommended against dirt and especially bird droppings).

lways maintain your XC T properly and take into account the wear and tear

that occurs over time due to frequent use or improper use.

Row&Sail GmbH cannot be held responsible for changes that it has not

agreed to.

1.5 Environmental protection

s water sports enthusiasts, we feel the effects of environmental pollution

firsthand. The feeling of diving into a chemically contaminated muddy broth

during take-off and landing above a capsize can thoroughly spoil the fun of

water sports. Just as we expect clean water and a biologically intact

environment for our recreational sports, we should strive to keep the

environmental impact of operating the XC T as low as possible.

The hull skin of the XC T is made of HD-PE. weather-resistant, impact-

resistant and dirt-repellent plastic that is easy to clean. Even attached shells

are easy to remove. The hulls, filled with EPP particle foam, are extremely

impact resistant, unsinkable and almost indestructible. nd yet, because of

the foam core, very light and stable. HD-PE and EPP are both very

environmentally friendly and easy to recycle.

With the XC T model options, you are always environmentally friendly on the

way.
