Foreword
Thank you for choosing to purchase the Graupner model "72 ft Yacht", order no. 2201. Graupner
models stand for high quality. We pay great attention to stability at the key points in series
production. Due to extensive prefabrication, including motor and rudder system, as well as the high
degree of detail made possible by the CNC processing, this model replicates the original yacht very
closely.
It is quite important that these instructions are read completely prior to assembly and
first-time use of the model. The safety rules stated in these instructions must be
followed during trial runs as well as initial use and thereafter.

Model summary description
This 72 ft yacht the result of a yacht study made by the Munich designer Jochen Kinder. It
was introduced in 2012 at the yacht exhibition in Dubai. J. Kinder Designs has been
successfully designing high-tech products for the international maritime market as well as
premium consumer products for over 25 years.
• This is one of the models in the GRAUPNER PREMIUM product line series, the series of
particularly high quality finished models offering a degree of detail previously unachieved
on the market.
• In order to achieve such high-quality results, the hull is made of stable GRP material, the
superstructure and deck are made of laser-formed ABS parts and many small parts made
of metal are already attached. The hull, superstructure parts, the masts and fittings are
spray painted and the decorative items are attached. Thanks to its many details and
fitting parts, this model gives a particularly authentic impression of the original.
• Installation of the RC components is made simple by the generously sized openings in
the deck. Their installation can be accomplished quickly. Only the installation of the RC
components and rechargeable battery as well as some minor soldering work are
necessary to make the model operable.

Attention!
Never reach into a running propeller or attempt to hold the propeller by hand when it is operating. This leads to hand
injuries. Rotational forces can readily cause the propeller to get out of control.
Attention!
Never put objects/foreign materials into a running propeller. Always ensure that objects/foreign materials cannot get
into the propeller when it is running. If this does happen, the propeller's sudden imbalance can cause heavy damage to
the model. Persons in the vicinity can be severely injured by parts hurled through the air.
Attention!
Never dwell in front or back of a propeller. Improper assembly or unforeseen circumstances can cause the propeller to
come off of its shaft.
Stop the propeller if unusual noises are heard.
Attention!
The propeller must be securely attached. Do not direct the propeller toward persons or animals, do not test the
propeller in the hand. Never dwell in front of a propeller. Unforeseen circumstances can cause the propeller to come off
of its shaft. Persons in the vicinity can be severely injured by parts hurled through the air.
Attention!
Do not touch any part of the drive train (i.e. motor + propeller + shaft) while it is operating as this can lead to injuries.
Allow the motor, shaft, regulator and battery time to cool off after operation before touching any of these parts!
Warning!
Operating the model while under the influence of medication, alcohol, drugs, etc. is forbidden.
Attention!
Ensure that the operation of model boats is permitted on the given body of water.
Attention!

liability insurance provides coverage for model ships of this type. If this is not the case, obtain special liability insurance
coverage for RC models.
