We refer to this package as the “Owner’s Portfolio”, and will reference it often throughout

mental information on safety and basic boating practices.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Upon purchasing your new World Cat, the dealer is responsible for completing the warranty

card provided by the factory. The form is in triplicate, with one copy for you, the dealer, and the

factory. Keep your copy in a secure place so it can be referenced quickly in the event of a war-

ranty issue. The 10 year limited hull warranty is transferable, and a copy is included at the back

of this manual should you decide to sell your boat.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITIES

board side of the transom. Information regarding the dealership, owner, and the factory

installed accessories will be recorded to help you should a problem arise. Also, you will receive

CHAPTER 1

SAFETY AND REGULATIONS

OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Prior to enjoying your World Cat, it is important to read and understand all the information

detailed in your “Owner’s Portfolio”. Knowing how to operate and maintain the systems on your

vessel can make your experiences safe and enjoyable, as well as increase the performance and

longevity of your boat. Federal law and most state laws clearly indicate that it is the operator’s

responsibility to maintain their vessel, and operate it in a manner which protects the safety of

their passengers and others. Reference page 8 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual

for a detailed list of owner responsibilities.

This manual will provide you a basic understanding of boating practices; however, we rec-

ommend all owners review federal, state, and local regulations regarding safety and traffic prior

to using your World Cat. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons offer excel-

lent educational opportunities on a local level and are open to anyone. If a chapter does not exist

in your area, reference page 8 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual or contact the

following numbers for other educational opportunities:

Boating Education Hotline.............................. 1-800-336-BOAT (2628)

U.S. Coast Guard Boating Hotline ................... 1-800-368-5647

REGISTRATION

Vessels are required by federal and state law to be registered in the state where they are pri-

marily used. Registration numbers and validation stickers must be displayed per regulations,

and a certificate of registration must be on board while the vessel is being operated. When trav-

eling away from your home waters, contact authorities at your destination to determine if any

additional registration is required. Some areas require permits or temporary registrations to

operate in their waters. When completing registration forms you will be asked for the Hull Iden-

tification Number (HIN). On your World Cat, the HIN is located on the starboard side of the tran-

som. This number is unique to your boat and will be important for registering your vessel, as

well as, communicating with your dealer and our service department. Including this information

in any correspondence or conversations will help our support network serve you better.

COAST GUARD REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Once you have reviewed safe boating guidelines and filed for registration, it is time to equip

your vessel. The U.S. Coast Guard’s (U.S.C.G.) list of required equipment is shown below. To

review the guidelines for each item, reference pages 17 and 18 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts

Owner’s Manual.

• Audible Signaling Device (Bell, Horn, or Whistle)

• FireExtinguisher

• Navigation / Anchor Lights

• Flotation Devices (PFD’s)

•Visual Signaling Devices

NOTICE

Remember to check with state and local agencies to ensure that additional items

are not required to operate your boat in their waterways.

RECOMMENDED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Although not required, there are several additional items which help to ensure safety, and

provide convenience for you and passengers. A list of these items can be found in the Sportfish,

Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual on page 18. Perform an annual inventory to keep tools, spare

parts, and safety equipment in good condition. Immediately replace any items removed from the

kit.

CAPACITY INFORMATION

On all boats under 26 feet in length, the

manufacturer is required to provide capacity

information. If you own a 230 SF, 250 SF, or 250

DC you will find a rectangular metal plate near

the helm. The plate will provide information on

horsepower ratings, person capacities, and total

capacities which include persons, motors, and

gear. As an owner you should be aware of the

weight on board. If you exceed capacity, you

could endanger your passengers and the vessel,

as well as void any warranty remaining on the

boat should a failure occur. Remember this is a

guideline for normal operation, and does not

release you from responsibility should an acci-

dent occur. You must use rational judgement

when adverse conditions are expected, and

reduce your loads to create a margin of

safety.

Pursuant to NMMA certification, all World Cats over 26’ in length are “Yacht Certified” and

carry the placard shown below. Person and gear capacities are not predetermined, they are left

to the operator’s discretion. Therefore, the amount of load allow onboard should result from

considering all safety precautions.

Horsepower ratings, however, are set

by World Class Catamarans and

should not be exceeded. The second

page in Chapter 5 of this manual will

provide information on the maximum

horsepower ratings for your boat.

Exceeding the factory recommenda-

tions will result in loss of warranty

coverage on your vessel.

! CAUTION

Use only marine grade replacement parts. Most automotive and residential parts

are not suitable for use in the harsh marine environment. Using them could lead to

premature product failure, property damage, or personal injury.

POLLUTION REGULATIONS

The Refuse Act of 1899 prohibits throwing, discharging or depositing any refuse matter of

any kind (including trash, garbage, oil and other liquid pollutants) into the waters of the United

States. This information is provided in a pamphlet, normally received when registering your

boat. Use the information below as a guideline, but study the pamphlet and understand any

local regulations regarding pollution control. As the operator, you are also liable for individuals

on your vessel disposing of materials in an improper manner.

OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous sub-

stances which may be harmful into U.S. navigable water. Vessels 26 feet in length and over

must display a placard at least 5 by 8 inches, made of durable material, fixed in a conspicuous

place in the rigging compartments or near the bilge pumps, stating the following:

DISPOSAL OF PLASTICS/DUNNAGE/GARBAGE

Boats 26 feet in length and over must display a Save Our Seas Placard which outlines the

rules for dumping waste offshore. The placards must be at least 4” x 9” and should be displayed

in an area visible during normal operation. They can be purchased from your dealer or marine

equipment suppliers.

BOATING SAFETY GUIDELINES

As an owner/operator you should be prepared to handle any situation which arises before

departure, while underway, or upon return to dock. Careful planning will add safety and plea-

sure to your experience and give you the confidence to handle emergencies if they develop.

Listed below are some general guidelines which you should follow before any trip:

PRE-DEPARTURE:

• Establish a float plan and provide it to a person whom you trust. The plan should give the

details of your trip, including where you are going and when you expect to return. If you

deviate from the plan, notify that person as soon as possible.

• If you anticipate operating in a new area, understand the local rules and request charts or

information on any hazards you may not be aware of.

• If you are towing the boat, inspect the trailer including tires, lights, brakes, winch, and

overall mechanical appearance. For trailering information see page 4

• Verify that you have all necessary safety equipment. This should include all the USCG

required equipment as well as spare parts or other items you decided to include.

• Check fuel levels and determine if you require additional fuel for your trip.

• Examine the weight of the gear on your vessel and make sure you are not overloaded. Dis-

tribute the weight evenly on your vessel to ensures predictable performance.

LAUNCHING:

• Prepare your boat prior to backing down, (i.e. secure all lose items, install garboard drain),

then launch your vessel and move away quickly.

• Move your vessel away from the dock and complete a full system check. Ensure that elec-

tronics, pumps, and safety equipment are in working order.

• Instruct a passenger on the operation of the boat, and the location and function of all

safety equipment onboard. You should never be the only person capable of safely operating

your vessel.

UNDERWAY: (Information on operation and handling is located in Chapter 2)

• Obey all “Rules of the Road” and any local regulations. Use the information located on

page 19 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual to understand right of way and

the various navigational and hazard indicators you will see on the water.

• Never operate a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Do not allow individuals under the age of 16 to operate the vessel. Maintain direct supervi-

sion of inexperienced operators.

• Ensure that all passengers are safely seated while underway, and are using the hand rails

World Class has provided to remain securely in their seats.

• Use your electronics and judgement to remain abreast of changing weather. Storms

develop quickly and you should be prepared to protect your passengers and vessel. See

page 16 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual for more tips on weather.

• Maintain a safe speed and respect other boaters as well as those on land. Obey all “No

Wake Zones” and be aware of smaller vessels. The wake you produce could endanger other

crafts and their passengers.

• Know the limitations of your craft and your experience. Understand the boats handling

characteristics and do not attempt to operate the vessel in conditions that are unsafe or

beyond your experience level.
