Your boat meets the highest standards for stability thanks to its hull design and weight distribution. However, stability may be compromised by:
-
Weather conditions beyond your boat's design category and your own boating skill level. High breaking waves always represent a serious danger to stability. In rough weather, keep all hatches and doors closed to minimize the risk of flooding.
-
Freely moving water in the bilge. Keep the amount of bilge water to a minimum.
-
Towing or being towed.
-
Any change to the boat’s centre of gravity, such as imbalances in weight distribution, weight in a high position, or a new engine type.
Make sure you understand and consider these risks.
The boat manufacturer disclaims any liability for the consequences of unauthorized modifications or inappropriate use of the boat.
The boat can sink if the stability or load limits are compromised.
-
Never exceed the maximum recommended number of persons on the boat.
-
Always have your crew use the seats intended for passengers.
-
Make sure that, regardless of the number of persons on board, the total weight of the persons on board and their luggage never exceeds the maximum load capacity of the boat.
-
Always load the boat carefully and distribute loads appropriately to maintain the design trim. Avoid placing heavy weights high up.
The maximum number of people and load capacity are indicated on the Builder´s plate by the steering wheel. For details, see section 9.2 Technical specification.
