I) INTRODUCTION

Many parts and systems installed on your boat are supplied by other manufacturers

and each carries a specific warranty and may require specific care. This manual supplements

the literature supplied with the various equipment and we will refer to manufacture’s literature

throughout this booklet. We recommend referring to original manufacturer's literature whenever

possible.

This manual is broken down into several sections that attempt to help explain your boat,

your warranty, responsibilities as an owner, and maintenance of your new Beneteau. Some of the

equipment described in this manual are offered as options. ALL Specifications, details,

equipment and dimensions are approximations or estimates, and they are subject to change

without notice. This document is not contractual nor all inclusive, and photos or diagrams may

show nonstandard equipment. While we have tried to describe the major points of your boat

within this book, we cannot cover every detail. Owning a boat and the operation of it are complex

issues that can only be mastered by vast experience and professional assistance. Please call your

dealer or feel free to call us if any question should arise.

If you are a seasoned sailor much of the manual may be old news, and if this is your first

boat, we hope this will prove useful, but we advise you to seek out professional instruction

through your dealer, sailing schools, the US Coast Guard auxiliary, US Power Squadron, etc.

Should you need to contact Beneteau please use the following addresses and numbers, be

sure to include your model and hull identification number with any correspondence.

they are not contractual in nature.

The users of this boat are advised that:

-The entire crew should receive appropriate training

-In some countries, a driving licence or an authorization is needed, or there are specific regulations in force.

-Always maintain your boat correctly and take into account deterioration resulting from time and significant or

inappropriate wear of the boat.

-Any boat – however strong – can be severely damaged if improperly used. This is not compatible with safe boating.

Always adjust the speed and direction of the boat to the state of the sea.

-If your boat is equipped with a life raft, carefully read its instruction manual. The crew should be familiar with the use of

all safety equipment (harnesses, flares, life raft, etc.) and emergency safety operations (recovering a person overboard,

towing, etc.), Coast Guard Auxiliary, Power Squadran, sailing schools and clubs regularly organise training sessions.

-Do not sail at maximum speed in zones of heavy traffic, or in case of reduced visibility, strong winds or big waves.

Reduce the speed and wake of the boat, out of courtesy and for safety’s sake for yourself and for others. Respect zones of

speed and wake limits.

-Observe rules of priority such as defined by the rules of the road and imposed by the COLREGS (regulations for the

prevention of collisions at sea).

-Make sure you always have sufficient distance to stop or maneuver as necessary in order to avoid a collision

of manufacture. The builders plate located in the cockpit of your boat, gives information pertinent to this certification, such as;

model, design category with corresponding max. number of persons recommended, and max. load weight. Following are the

design categories established by the Recreational Craft Directive. This is a guideline only, the safety of those on board your

boat are only measurable by the experience and skill of the captain and crew, together with proper preparation and appropriate

safety equipment for the given conditions, in addition to a well maintained boat. This certification only applies to factory

installed equipment and does not cover equipment installed by the dealer or owner. In the case of European travel such

equipment installed after manufacture may need to be certified separately.
