2. General information
2.1. Introduction
This user manual has been composed
to ensure the safety and
entertainment of your DinghyGo
Inflatable 3-in-1 sailing boat. This
manual contains detailed information
on the watercraft, its equipment, its
systems and information on its use
and maintenance. Please read this
manual and review the DinghyGo
instruction videos with care; it is
important that you are familiar with
the watercraft before use.
This user manual does not offer a
course in safety and good
seamanship. If this is your first
experience with a watercraft, or if
you are not familiar with this
particular type of watercraft, please
make sure you ensure your own
safety and comfort by gaining
experience in both steering and using
a watercraft (sailing and motor boat)
before using your DinghyGo
watercraft.
Your DinghyGo supplier, national
sailing federation or yacht club will be
on hand to offer advice on local
sailing schools and sailing clubs with
qualified instructors. Make sure your
DinghyGo is suitable for the
anticipated wind and sea conditions,
and that you and your crew are able
to manage the boat in these
conditions.
This owner’s manual does not
provide a detailed guide for
maintenance or repairs of the boat.
If problems occur, please consult
your DinghyGo supplier. Follow the
maintenance and repair instructions
provided in this manual for proper
maintenance and repair of your
DinghyGo. Always consult trained
and competent specialists for
maintenance, repairs or alterations.
Changes that are made to the boat
that may affect the safety of the
watercraft may be assessed,
executed and documented by
competent people only. Your supplier,
Aquacrafts, cannot be held
responsible for modifications that
were not approved by them. In some
countries, a licence or permit is
required to operate this watercraft,
and sometimes specific rules apply.
Always make sure your watercraft is
well maintained and please take into
account that wear and tear will occur
over time, especially due to heavy
use or misuse of the watercraft.
Every boat is made to be robust, but
your boat can be seriously damaged
if used incorrectly. Always adjust the
speed and direction of the boat
according to your surroundings. The
crew must be familiar with the use of
all safety and emergency procedures
(man overboard, towing, etc.).
Sailing schools and clubs regularly
organize training sessions to help you
if necessary.
In some countries, wearing a life
jacket or buoyancy aid that meets
the national regulations is obligatory
at all times.
