2. CATEGORY OF YOUR BOAT

Your boat comes under design category B.
Under normal conditions of use, your boat is designed to operate in waves with a significant height of 4 m or less
and winds not exceeding force 8 on the Beaufort scale.
NOTE
▪ Significant wave height represents the average height of the upper third of the waves, which
approximately corresponds to the wave height estimated by an experienced observer. Some waves
will be twice as high as this value.
The manufacturer cannot guarantee that the boat will operate perfectly in exceptional sea conditions (violent
storm, hurricane, cyclone, waterspout, etc.). So be careful and check the weather forecast before setting out to
sea.
The ability to operate also depends on the skills of the crew, their physical abilities, the maintenance of the boat
and the equipment.
In port: the harbour office displays daily weather reports and forecasts for the coming days. You can also consult
weather or ocean rescue organisations like Météo France or the CROSS in France, which issue several bulletins a
day.

WARNING
When loading the boat:
▪ Do not exceed the maximum recommended load, as this may lead to flooding and loss of stability.
▪ Do not exceed the maximum number of people recommended. No matter how many people are on-
board, the total weight of passengers and equipment must never exceed the maximum
recommended load.
▪ Always use the designated seats or seating areas.
▪ Always load the boat carefully and distribute the load appropriately, to maintain the theoretical trim
(approximately horizontal).
▪ Avoid placing heavy loads high up.
WARNING
▪ Your attention is drawn to the finishing process in which structural components such as steering
station, seats and superstructure elements are installed by parties other than the manufacturer.
These elements should be installed in compliance with the relevant requirements of ISO 6185‑4 to
ensure that all such installations do not invalidate the initial assessment made.
