1. DESIGN CATEGORY OF YACHT
Your DUFOUR 40 comes under the OCEAN-GOING design category (category A).
In normal conditions of use, your boat is designed for sailing with effective wave heights up to
7 m and winds of Beaufort Force 10 or less, and to withstand the severest conditions.
This sailing capability is equally dependent on the skills of the crew, their physical capacities,
the maintenance of the boat and its equipment.
So always take care before putting to sea.
DUFOUR YACHTS is not able to guarantee perfect functioning of the boat in exceptional sea
conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts,...)
