I) INTRODUCTION

Dear Madam, Dear Sir,

You have just taken delivery of your new BENETEAU boat and we would like to congratulate you first of

all for the confidence you showed to us in choosing a product of our mark.

A BENETEAU boat is built to last : each boat is subject to particular care in the slightest details, as early as

when she is designed, when she leaves the factory and she is launched ; this way, she will come up to your

expectations for many years.

This manual was meant to help you to enjoy your boat safely. You will find in it the details of your boat ,

her fittings and information about the use and maintenance. Read it carefully and get to know her before you put out

to sea.

If this is your first boat, or if you change to a new type of boat (to which you are not used) get some training

to control and sail her , to ensure your safety and comfort. Then you will be able to assume the command of the boat.

Your dealer, your national sailing association or your Yacht club will be very happy to recommend you local sailing

schools or professional instructors.

Have fine and safe sailing time.

(1) Throughout their lives, our boats are regularly improved and benefit from our experience and our

customers’ experience ; therefore the specifications given in this owner’s manual are not contractual and may be

modified without prior notice and up dating obligation.

In the same way, this manual has a general purpose and it may sometimes list some equipments or refer to

some points which are not relevant to your own boat. In case of doubt, you shall always refer to the inventory list.

KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE

BOAT.

IV) DECK

- The safe lines can be fastened either on the mooring cleats or on the toe rail.

Some boats are fitted with a foldaway swimming ladder. The swimming ladder shall be in its usual

place on the transom as soon as you are on board.

Make sure that the hatches and portholes are closed before you put out to sea.

In case of rough sea, close the boat with her door and washboard so that no water may come into the

boat

Check that nothing blocks up the draining holes ; never seal them.
