INTRODUCTION DUFOUR YACHTS is pleased to present you with this Manual which will help you get to know your boat better. This Manual has been produced to help you use your boat safely and enjoyably. It contains details of the boat, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information about their use. Read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat before using it. This Owner’s Manual is not a course in sailing safety or seamanship.
I. GENERAL INFORMATION Design category Your DUFOUR 560 comes under the OCEAN-GOING design category A. Under conditions of normal use, your boat is designed to sail in waves with a significant height exceeding 4 m and winds of force 8 or above on the Beaufort scale, 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.
Builder's plate Part of this information is given on the builder’s plate attached to the boat. A full explanation of this information is given below. Design category = A Maximum number of people: Category A = 14 Category B = 14 Category C = 16 Category D = 18 : Ocean-going (see 1.1) : Recommended by the builder for navigation in sea conditions for category for which it was built. WARNING Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of people.
II. PRINCIPAL SPECIFICATIONS Model: Boatbuilder Lmax LH Bmax BH HA Tmax Designer: Interior design Design category Notified body no. Engine # Primary means of propulsion LOA * Hull length * Maximum beam * Hull beam * Mast height clearance * Draft deep keel * Deep keel weight Standard mainsail area (approximate) Genoa area (approximate) Maximum permissible on-board engine power Water capacity excl. 50L (appx.
ML:The Maximum Load is the sum of the maximum recommended load and the total mass of the various liquids (potable or not). Nota bene: due to the trim and loading of the boat, is it not usually possible to use the whole of the various tank capacities for fresh water and diesel. You are recommended to maintain a diesel reserve of 20%.
III. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Safety and operating instructions for the electrical system WARNING Improper use of the DC and/or AC systems may give rise to fire or explosion hazards. Improper use of the AC systems may give rise to electric shock hazards. Always: ● Check the condition of the batteries (charge and electrolyte level) and the charging system before putting to sea. ● Disconnect and remove batteries for wintering. ● Do not let battery voltage drop below 10.5 V during wintering.
Batteries The battery system comprises 3 140 Ah auxiliary battery (standard) and 2 additional 140 Ah batteries (optional) and one 140 Ah battery for starting the engine. Their capacities have been designed to handle the power requirements of the on-board accessories. To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance and correct charging of the batteries.
220 / 110 volt installation (ISO 13297: 2000) DANGER! The on-board 220 V installation is protected by a circuit breaker and fitted with a residual current device. The wiring of additional 220 V on-board accessories must be carried out by professionals, and the master circuit-breaker uprated if necessary. - - Do not make any modification to the installation or the related diagrams. Installation, maintenance, and any modifications must be carried out by a qualified marine electrician.
IV. GAS INSTALLATION Operating advice - Read carefully all instructions for cooker and regulator before use or maintenance. - Ensure that the gas cylinder and regulator are in accordance with the requirements of the cooker (flow rate, pressure, type of gas) and with the regulations in force in the country where it is being used. - Make sure the appliance gas taps are closed before opening the valve on the cylinder.
Checking the system (ISO 10239: 2000) Check the LPG installation for leaks regularly. Test the LPG system for leaks before use.
V. DRAIN & SANITATION SYSTEM Drainage system characteristics(ISO 15083: 2003) Pump type Manual 12V Electrical Automatic 12V Theoretical flow rate 38 L @ 45 strokes/minute 3900 L / h 2820 L / h Read the operating and maintenance instructions for your boat’s bilge pump carefully. WARNING The bilge pump system is not designed to handle water entering as a result of holing of the hull. It is intended to remove water coming from spray, leaks from seacocks or other moderate leaks.
Seacocks Seacocks are of the ¼-turn type: - OPEN position: handle in line with seacock body, - CLOSED position: handle perpendicular to seacock body. Vanne ouverte OPEN position Vanne fermée CLOSED position ATTENTION! ● Never interfere with the tightening of the seacocks to the hull. In the event of a leak, consult a professional. ● In bad weather or when leaving your boat, close all the sanitation system seacocks. ● Keep seacocks closed when not being used.
VI. FLOODING To avoid the risk of flooding the boat: - Before putting to sea, always check that portholes, deck hatches and any other openings that could allow flooding are shut. - While under way, close all seacocks when they are not in use, except for the engine water intake. - Do not exceed the maximum recommended loading. - The level of water in the bilges must be kept to a minimum.
WARNING If a CO2 extinguisher is fitted, the following information must be displayed close to its location: “This extinguisher contains CO2 - use only on electrical or cooker fires. To avoid suffocation after discharging, leave the area immediately. Ventilate before reentering." Do not open the engine compartment immediately after putting out a fire, to avoid the release of toxic smoke or spraying of burning materials (oil, water).
VIII. ENGINE Regular maintenance must be carried out in accordance with the engine manufacturer’s recommendations. Read carefully the engine operating instructions that come with the boat. Do not hesitate to consult your agent or a qualified professional. In particular, follow the instructions for wintering. General precautions ATTENTION! Do not use sail and engine if the heel angle is more than 10°.
Wintering Read carefully the operating and maintenance instructions for the engine that goes with your boat and the instructions for wintering.
Emergency tiller ATTENTION! ● The Dufour 560 is fitted with an emergency tiller which must be kept readily accessible; we advise stowing it in one of the nacelle cockpit lockers. ● It is designed only for sailing at reduced speed in the event of damage to the helm. To use it: - Unscrew the deck-plate to reveal the head of the rudder stock - Fit the tiller onto the head of the rudder stock. XI.
XII. FALL PREVENTION AND MEANS OF GETTING BACK ABOARD While underway, it is recommended to move about on deck only in areas provided for this purpose. These areas (gangways, cockpit, roof, side seats, etc.) are provided with non-skid coatings or teak (depending on option selected) making it safe to move about. On the DUFOUR 560, within the bounds of the life-lines and with the exception of the smooth glass surfaces, you can safely move about the entire bridge.
WARNING During a thunderstorm, it is recommended that you should comply with the following instructions: ● People should stay below as much as possible. ● People should stay out of the water and not let their arms or legs hang into the water. ● While maintaining satisfactory control of the vessel and its course, persons aboard should not touch any parts connected to a lightning protection system, and especially not in such a way as to form a link between such parts.
XV. SAFETY FACILITIES There is no harmonization of mandatory safety equipment across the European Community. You should find out about current national requirements for CE-marked vessels. In France, the skipper is responsible for ensuring that recreational craft bearing the CE mark carry aboard the mandatory handling and safety equipment stipulated for the relevant sailing category. Your boat is provided with a stowage position for a life-raft, read the life-raft instruction manual carefully.
XVII. MOORING, ANCHORING, AND TOWING ATTENTION! (ISO 15084:2003) . ● The anchor points for mooring and / or towing are the 2 front cleats that have a breaking strain of about 9000 kg. The aft and central cleats can also be used for docking. They have a breaking strain of approximately 6000 kg. ● The breaking strain of the mooring lines / chains must not normally exceed 80 % of the breaking strain of the anchor points – in this case, 12 mm galvanized chain and 22 mm (max) polypropylene rope.
