We had one for everything. Given to all new hires to read for their benefit as well as the boats.

I'm coming to it from the point of view that say, in these uncertain times, something happened to me. Then my daughter and son in law, who can both sail but only have a nodding acquaintance with my boat, had to take it over or sell it. Rather than them having to go through the learning curve that I had the time to do, they could step on and get things going.Are boats really that complicated ? My first and present boats came with written manuals that I have not looked at since day 1 .
Other than my wife my family have no particular interest in boating and would have no clue about how to operate a boat. So, in that respect, its probably safer not to have any sort of operating manual.I'm coming to it from the point of view that say, in these uncertain times, something happened to me.
I would have thought that a new owner might appreciate it.Other than my wife my family have no particular interest in boating and would have no clue about how to operate a boat. So, in that respect, its probably safer not to have any sort of operating manual.

Ah! the joys of an AWBThere is a manual with my boat and also I have file with data for a number of items added , all the fuel and oil filter part numbers etc and I have the manual for the chart plotter and AIS and VHF . Engine manuals are available online. What more could possibly be required? Its hardly exciting reading and most things are done by inspection with some back up from the interweb including forums such as this.
