WELCOME ABOARD

Madam, Sir,

You have just taken delivery of your new JEANNEAU boat and we thank you for the

confidence you have shown us in ordering a vessel of our brand. The whole JEANNEAU team

welcomes you aboard.

A JEANNEAU 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 is 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 JEANNEAU 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, C and D may 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.

You are advised to keep all the instructions and manuals provided by the boat equipment

manufacturers (accessories...) in the same place as this manual

INTRODUCTION

We share a common passion for the sea: we, JEANNEAU as shipbuilders and you who want

to live your passion on the Seven Seas.

We are delighted to welcome you to the great family of JEANNEAU boat owners and we

congratulate you on it.

This manual is 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.

Read this manual carefully before you put out to sea so that you can make the most of her and

avoid any damage and any trouble. Get to know your boat before you sail.

We keep improving our boats as we want you to benefit from the technological developments,

new equipment or materials and our own experience. That is the reason why the specifications

and information given are not contractual, they may be modified without prior notice or up

dates.

This owner's manual is designed in accordance with the ISO 10 240 standard requirements, it

has a general purpose and it may sometimes list some equipment or accessories or deal with

some points or questions that are not relevant to your own boat. In case of doubt refer to the

inventory list you were given when you bought your boat.

Our network of JEANNEAU authorized dealers will be at your disposal to help you get

acquainted with your boat and will be the most qualified to take care of her maintenance.

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.

Even if everything has been provided for and designed for the safety of the boat and the safety

of her users, don't forget that sailing highly depends on the weather conditions, the sea

condition, and that only an experienced and very fit crew, handling a well-maintained boat can

sail satisfactorily.

The sea and wind conditions that correspond to the design categories A, B or C are

changeable and are dependent on the hazards of unusually strong waves or gusty winds.

Therefore total safety cannot be guaranteed, even if your boat meets the requirements of a

category.
