C2 Owner's Manual 4

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your new GOODALL C2. The C2 is the direct result of 7 years research

and development. During that time we developed and learned from the CAPRICORN platform and now

we have combined that knowledge with state of the art manufacturing techniques to bring you the

highest quality and performance possible.

About this Owner’s Manual

This manual has been compiled to help you set up and operate your C2 catamaran safely and easily. It

contains details of the boat and its fitted equipment. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with

it and the boat before rigging and sailing.

You have purchased a high performance racing catamaran and as such you should ensure that you are

able to handle the catamaran in the anticipated wind and sea conditions. This owner’s manual is not an

instructional on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first beach catamaran, or if your unfamiliar

with it, please ensure you obtain handling experience before “assuming command” of the boat. Your

Dealer, National Sailing Federation or Yacht Club will be pleased to advise you of local sailing schools, or

competent instructors. Buoyancy aids are required for all racing events and are recommended to wear

at all times by all crew.

In some countries, a driving license or authorization may be required, or specific regulations might

apply. Please familiarize yourself with these.

This craft has been classified (in Australia) as a category C vessel, meaning a boat designed to operate in

winds up to Beaufort force 6 scale and associated wave heights.

Always maintain your boat properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur in time and

as a result of use. Any boat, however strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used properly.

Please read this manual and familiarize yourself with all aspects of maintenance and care for your boat.

Please keep this owner’s manual in a safe place and hand it over to the new owner when you sell the

boat.

CATEGORY C: “A boat designed to operate on winds up to force 6 on the Beaufort scale and associated wave

heights (significant waves up to 2 meters) Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland water, in

estuaries and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.

A significant wave height is the mean height of the highest one third of the wave, which approximately

corresponds to the wave height estimated by an experienced observer. Some waves will be double this height.”

C2 Owner's Manual 6

DANGER FROM OVERHEAD POWER LINES AND OTHER OBSTACLES

When rigging and moving your boat, please look up and inspect

the overhead area. Observe the location of overhead power lines

and trees. These obstacles can damage your boat and are

potentially dangerous or deadly to yourselves.

TOWING ON THE WATER

When towing is required, ensure that:

-The tow rope is secured around the mast step or main beam.

-The boat is towed at a low speed.

-The tow line is fastened in such a way that it can be released quickly when under load.

-The tow line is to be of sufficient length to maneuver safely.

C2 Owner's Manual 7

Assembly

All GOODALL boats require minimal assembly; all parts are rigged in the factory and come almost fully

assembled so that you can be on the water as soon as possible.

Should your boat have come through a local dealer, most of the assembly has probably already been

done for you, but take this manual as a reference for building up and dismantling your C2 when

transporting and storing.

Platform

C2 Owner's Manual 9

1. Place the 2 cardboard boxes that contain the

hulls parallel on a flat surface approximately

2 meters apart and carefully cut the top open.

The sides of the boxes may be folded down

to provide a clean and protective working

surface. The packing frames inside the box

should keep the hulls upright while you work.

2. The beams will come from the factory pre-

rigged and ready to go onto the boat. The

shorter bolts and smaller washers are for the

outer locations and the longer bolts and

bigger washers for the inner locations. To

access the outer bolt holes you will have to

remove the plastic end caps from the beams

with a Phillips head screwdriver, don’t undo

any of the shock cords on the front beam as

they are already in the correct position.

3. Wipe all dirt and grease from the beam pad

before sitting the beam on. Make sure the

beams are facing the correct way. The rear

beam should have the traveler saddles facing

backwards. Apply grease to the threaded part

of all bolts before inserting them into the hull.

Get all the bolts started before tightening any

of the bolts. We recommend beginning with

the inner front beam bolt. If a particular bolt

is being difficult to fit. Release all the beam

bolts and fit this bolt first.

4. Use a 17 mm hexagonal socket or spanner to tighten the bolts properly. The bolts should be set to

20Nm using a torque wrench. Check the bolts regularly but in never exceed the recommended 20

Nm.

C2 Owner's Manual 10

5. To reduce the risk of any sharp edges inside

the hull tracks cutting the tramp, use a small

piece of rod wrapped in sand paper (120 grit

or less) and slide the length of the track and

back to sand the inside edge of it.

6. To fit the trampoline to the main beam, remove the end plate from the front beam and slide the

trampoline into the front beam groove refitting the end plate once the tramp is in place.

7. Loosen all beam bolts 2 turns; fully remove the beam bolts from one end of the front beam and

allow the bows to move closer together.

8. Insert the bolt ropes on either side into the

track of the hull. Carefully slide the

trampoline down the track on each hull. This

is best done with 1 person on either side of

the platform keeping it even on each side. It

is recommended you have someone feed the

tramp into the track while another person

pulls the tramp on.
