MAINTENANCE

Thoroughly check the mast from top to bottom before each trip.
- Check regularly the rigging for tensioning and the lock-nuts or pins for safetying.
The first inspection shall be performed after a few days at sea in various weathers.
- Secure, lubricate and check the bottlescrews for tensioning: if the rigging should
be loose, the chain plate friction may generate wear.
- Never lubricate bottlescrews with silicon grease: use tallow, graphite grease
or other,
- Change all shrouds or stays exhibiting kinks, severed wires or other defects,
- Regularly check the chain plates and stays for condition.
Your Jeanneau agent can take care of all the above maintenance operations.
When hoisting a mate up to the mast, never use the halyard snap or shackle:
make up a bowline with the halyard direct on the bosun chair ring.
Do not hoist a mate when sailing in heavy weather.
