INTRODUCTION
This manual has been compiled to help you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the craft; the
equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information on their operation. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with
the craft before using it.
This Owner’s Safety Manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first craft or inflatable, or if you are
changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling
and operating experience before “assuming command” of the craft. Your dealer or national boating/sailing federation or yacht
club will be pleased to advise you of local sea schools or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design category of your craft (see DESIGN
CATEGORIES) and that you and your crew are able to handle the craft in these conditions. Even when your boat is categorized
for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the design categories A, B, and C range from severe storm conditions
for category A, to strong conditions for the top of category C, open to the hazards of a freak wave or gust. These are therefore
dangerous conditions, where only a competent, fit and trained crew using a well maintained craft can satisfactorily operate.
This Owner’s Safety Manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble-shooting guide. In case of difficulty, contact Walker Bay
or its national representative.
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, fixing or modifications. Modifications that may affect the safety of
the craft must be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. Walker Bay or its representative cannot be held
responsible for modifications that Walker Bay® has not approved. Modifications or attachment of items to the hull or tube may
affect your warranty (see WALKER BAY® INFLATABLE BOAT LIMITED WARRANTY).
In some countries a driving license, boating license, certification, or authorization are required, or specific regulations are in
force for operating a marine craft. Check with your local boating safety office.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowances for the deterioration that will occur over time and as a result of heavy
use or misuse of the craft. Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used properly. This is not
compa
tible with safe boating (see OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS). Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to sea
conditions.
The craft should have onboard the appropriate safety equipment (see SAFETY EQUIPMENT) according to the type of craft,
weather conditions etc. This equipment is mandatory in some countries. The crew should be familiar with the use of all safety
equipment and emergency maneuvering (see SAFETY EQUIPMENT & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES). Contact your local
boating/sailing organization for information, lessons or drill sessions. All persons should wear a suitable Coast Guard approved
buoyancy aid (life jacket/personal floatation device). Note that in some countries, it is a legal requirement to wear a buoyancy
aid that complies with their national regulations at all times.
PLEASE KEEP THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND YOUR MSO IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW
OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
