Contact with power lines can cause serious injury or death. D NT sail while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs nly sail in conditions in which you feel comfortable and where you feel confident that you can safely sail the boat. Never go out in conditions beyond your ability. veryone on board should wear a life jacket at all times. If you are in the water, remain in contact with the boat, even if it is capsized. A sailboat can drift away faster than a person can swim. Never sail without a righting line. Wear appropriate clothes.

When not sailing, always keep the boat pointed into the wind whether in the water or on the beach. ead the instruction manual carefully. Make sure everyone on the boat reads and understands these safety instructions. ALWAYS check that the drain plugs are screwed in before launching your catamaran. emove the plugs after sailing to drain any water that may have leaked into the hulls. Safety equipment : All necessary safety equipment must be available on board. (Life jackets, etc.) and must correspond to the boat type, weather conditions, etc. This material is mandatory in some countries. The crew must know how to use this material and how to behave in case of emergency (men at sea, towing, etc.) ; Sailing schools and clubs regularly organise training sessions to learn how to use the safety equipment and how to behave in case of emergency.

This can be accomplished by having your assistant hang from the trapeze or you can use mainsheet tension on one side at a time so that you can adjust the shroud position in the side stay adjusters. 3/ Fit the daggerboards into the daggerboards wells. 4/ Check all fastenings : - Mast tang shackles and shrouds (to prevent the mast to fall down) - pins and trapeze rope locks (to prevent falling out in the water if the trapeze is not well fastened) - pins and spring rings on the forestay and shrouds (to prevent the mast to fall down) - spring rings on the rudder pins (to prevent loosing the rudder assembly in case of capsizing) Transport Afin d éviter d endommager les coques : In order to avoid hull damages : - Always use a dolley to transport your Hobie on the beach (even if it is sand beach) and for launching. Step into the water with the dolley and once the cata is afloat take out the dolley. - D NT BACH. Beaching, even smoothly, may damage the hulls. use your beach dolley to take the boat out of the water. - For towing, always use an homologated road trailer with cradles. Launching your Hobie Cat Launching the boat is easiest when the boat can be pointed into the wind to keep it de-powered and floated into deep enough water to lower the rudders. It is possible to launch in shallow water with the rudders partly up. Try not to steer with too much force on the rudders until you lock them in the down position. Keep the sail loose and trimmed out completely until you can power up and steer away from any obstacle.
ef : MM_TDDY Issued by : I Date : 01/015 p-date : age : 8/3 WN S MANAL Handling & maintenance ighting your Hobie Cat If you tip the boat over, in order to avoid the mast from sinking under the hull, one of the crew must rapidly climb on the hull that remains on the water. In the meantime, the other crew uncleat all the lines and sheets. It is not necessary, but it is easier, to right the boat when the bow and the mast are pointed into the wind. There will be less resistance and better control in this position. Skipper and crew stand up on the hull. sing the righting line, skipper and crew pull the righting line that is against the upper hull and hold the line while slowly leaning back away from the trampoline. As the mast and sail lift out of the water, drop down to your knees then into the water. Hold on to the crossbar near the hull that you were standing on. Be well aware of the hull and crossbar coming down over your head. Holding the crossbar or righting line will also insure that you remain with the boat when it is righted. Climb abord and continue sailing. Maintenance of your Hobie This manual is not an exhaustive guide for the mainteance or repair of your Hobie. In case of difficulties, take contact with the builder or his representative. Always use the service of an experienced professional for the maintenance, the mounting of accessories or the modifications to your Hobie. Modification that may affect the safety use of the boat must be checked before processing and made by an experienced professional. The builder cannot be hold for responsible for modification that he has not duly approved. In some countries, prior authorisations are necessary or specific regulations are in force. Check them. Always maintain your boat and take into account the deterioration that may occur with the time or following inappropriate or intensive use. Any boat (even the strongest one) may be severely dammaged if it is not used the right way. This is not compatible with a safe sailing. Hobie Cat does not recommend leaving your Hobie in the water on a mooring. Accelerated wear to the boat and rigging will be experienced. Damage to the hull material is possible. Limitation of the mast rotation and tensioning of the rigging are required to lessen this wear. Inspect rigging often and tape rigging rings and shackles to prevent loosening. After sailing, it recommended to wash the hulls to remove the salt. Also remove the sails and wash them before storing them. There is one plug in the rear of each hull. These plugs are used to drain the hulls. The plugs should be in place before sailing. emove the plugs after sailing to drain any water that may have leaked into the hulls. It is best to travel with and store the boat with the plugs removed to allow for pressure changes due to heating, cooling, and altitude changes. This will prevent warping of the hull surface.

Thread the line through the remaining sheave and then pull down on the line to remove the wrinkles from the front of the mainsail. Tie the line off on the cleat. The stronger the wind, the more cunningham tension is required. ighting Line Tie a knot about 35 cm from the end of the line and pass the short end down through the grommet at the centre front of the trampoline.
