Lagoon 380 User Manual - page 3
We share a common passion for the sea: we, LAGOON, as boatbuilders and
you, who want to live out your enthusiasm for the oceans.
We are delighted to welcome you to the great family of LAGOON boat owners
and we would like to congratulate you on your purchase.
This instruction guide is intended to help you to enjoy your boat in comfort and
safety. It includes the boat specifications, the equipment provided or installed,
the systems on board and tips on her use and maintenance. Read this manual
carefully before you put out to sea so that you can make the most of her and
avoid any damage and difficulties. Read the manual and familiarize yourself
with the vessel before using it.
We are continuously concerned to bring you the benefit of the latest
technology, new equipment and material as well as our experience and
therefore the boats are regularly improved. It is for this reason that the
characteristics and information are not contractual and may be modified
without prior warning and without obligation of updating.
This owner's manual has a general purpose and it may mention some
equipment or accessories or deal with some points or questions that are not
relevant to your own boat ; if in doubt, refer to the inventory that you received
on delivery of your boat.
For your comfort and safety if this is your first vessel or if your are changing
to a new type of boat with which you are not familiar make sure that you
obtain experience in preparing and handling before "taking command" of the
vessel. Your dealer, international sailing association or yacht club will be able
to recommend local sailing schools or professional instructors
Although everything possible has been planned and designed with the safety
of the boat and its users in mind remember that sailing is highly dependent on
the weather conditions and the sea state, and that only an experienced and
very fit crew, handling a well-maintained boat, can sail satisfactorily.
The sea and wind conditions that correspond to design categories A, B and C
are changeable and are still susceptible to the risk of unusually large waves
or strong gusts of wind. Total safety cannot therefore be guaranteed, even if
your boat meets the requirements of a category.
Always consult the weather and shipping forecasts before
taking your boat out to sea.
Make sure that the sea and wind conditions forecast
correspond to the category of your boat, and that you and
your crew are able to handle the boat in these conditions.
Our network of LAGOON authorized dealers is available to
help you get acquainted with your boat and is best qualified
to take care of her maintenance.
