manual abstract
Thanks for joining us. By purchasing the Holder@ 12, you are treating yourself to the ultimate in sailing enjoyment. Even if you have long experience with sailboats, please read this manual thoroughly. It will give you easy, accurate instructions on assembling your new boat. We suggest reading through the manual completely before you begin assembly. Pay special attention to the boat and parts descriptions shown on the following pages. If you are new to sailing, this manual will not teach you how to sail. There are many excellent courses and books available on the safe handling of small sailboats. Contact your Holder@ dealer or local Coast Guard Auxiliary for recommendations on courses in your area. They'll be happy to help. Please remember to obey the most important rule of all when assembling your boat -stay away from overhead power lines! Before starting to rig your boat, thoroughly examine the area for power lines and report any potentially hazardous power line that you see by writing to the reponsible utility company, send a copy to Hobie Cat Bounty Program, P.O. Box 1008, Oceanside, CA 92054 and sail elsewhere. Remember, CONTACT OF A .. MAST WITH A POWER LINE COULD BE FATAL. The Holder@ 12 is made with the innovative ComptipTM mast tip (U.S. Pat. No. 4,597,346). ; This is an essentially non-conducting composite tip which can help prevent electrocution and boat damage from mast/power line contact. Hobie Cat worked many years to develop this new tip so that it would be as effective as possible. Still, nothing can provide total protection at all times, so it's best to avoid wires. Be sure to read the "Maintenance" section to find out how to protect the tip's insulating ability. By following the instructions, maintaining your new boat properly and observing safety rules, we're confident you'll receive many years of sailing enjoyment from the Holder@ 12. -1~ HOLDER 12@ Terminology ~ ..
