The Boat Owner's Manual

The Owner's Manual for Callipygia was a 3-ring binder in which we kept, under numbered tabs, the important boat papers as listed below. At the front of the binder we made a hand-written Table of Contents showing what elements could be found under each tab. This binder lived on a bookshelf in the main cabin along with the other binders containing assorted boat information and records.

• Documents related to the boat purchase, federal documentation, and state registration.
• Licenses and certifications related to radio use.
• Boat and equipment surveys in chronological order, most recent on top.
• Marina and storage contracts (if any)
• Boat insurance papers (if any)
• Copies or originals of magazine articles featuring the Tayana 37.
• Waste Management Plan to meet Coast Guard requirements.
• Operations and Maintenance Manual published by the Tayana Owner's Group.
• Blueprints from when the boat was constructed.
• Brochures from when the boat was originally marketed.
