DRY DOCKING
(refer to section 10 for launching instruction)
An annual application of tinless anti-fouling will spare time-consuming and frequent
dry-docking. An epoxy coat is nonetheless recommended. In that respect, we must
remind you that sanding or priming before anti-fouling are tantamount to attacking your
gel-coat and impair its reliability. Therefore, we recommend very gentle sanding.
Hydrochloric acid may be used against rooted fouling in way of the boottop, allowed to
act for 10 minutes and rinsed liberally.
Polish pastes can restore the gloss of your ship. In case of lasting problems, consult your
distributor.
Biodegradable cleaners and maintenance products have been tested and approved by the
shipbuilder, since they protect both the materials and environment.
