CAUTIONEven if the automatic pilot controls the route, navigation must be supervised in any case.
Despite the efficiency and the high performances of the motor-yacht, and in particular the sensitivity to rudder motion, which allow an immediate response to the controls, the use of this yacht requires a careful and responsible behaviour.
In the passage between displacement and gliding navigation there is a critical phase to be carried out as quickly as possible, as it is characterized by high consumption and more vibrations; it also causes a very deep wake.
Minimum glide speed is influenced by displacement, weight distribution on board, position of interceptors and sea conditions.
The excellent choice and quality of the engines allows keeping high speeds for a long time with no consequences.
However, an excellent compromise between travel speed, comfort and fuel consumption is achieved at speeds of around 1500/2000 rpm less than the maximum permitted rpm.
Do not keep the propulsion engines at idle run for a long period of time; this to prevent them from getting “dirty” or overheated.
Avoid harsh accelerations or decelerations to avoid excessive stresses for the engine turbines.
When the yacht reaches the cruising speed, the engine check instruments should set to constant values.
If the instruments show contrasting or abnormal indications during continuous run, check for failures of the systems or of the equipment and contact Assistance Service.
CAUTIONEven if the automatic pilot controls the route, navigation must be supervised in any case.
CAUTIONDuring navigation, keep rear sliding door closed to avoid the introduction of exhaust gases and water splashes into the main deck compartments, under special conditions of wind direction and force.
This will improve comfort for the passengers and silence inside the compartments.
CAUTIONThe speed of the yacht must be controlled, together with the position of the interceptors, according to the sea conditions and the prevailing wave direction, so as not to subject the structure of the yacht to avoidable stress and assure the occupants’ comfort when underway.
DANGERIt is absolutely forbidden to perform reverse run with one of the two engines stopped. This operation is allowed only in case of life danger for the persons on board and for the safety of the yacht itself, however when the engine is running it should not run higher than 1000 rpm.
WARNINGAvoid prolonged use of engines at low speeds to avoid overheating of the exhaust pipes due to reduced cooling water circulation.
