Sails, spars & rigging Spars and rig Your yacht is fitted with a Kemp aluminium mast and boom which, given good support, proper handling and caring routine mainenance, should be remarkably durable. Information on stepping the mast can be gained from the Kemp handbook supplied with the yacht.
Page 12
Maintenance Rigging checks During the sailing season when your yacht is in commission, regular maintenance checks should be carried out and particularly before a long voyage. 1 Examine all steel/wire ropes for corrosion, wear and damage. 2 Examine all terminations for signs of wear, cracks or damage. Pay particular attention to all split pins, they should be the largest size possible to pass through the cotter pinhole with at least 3/4"...

See autumn overhaul in Kemps 'Hints and advice on rigging and tuning your Kemp Roller Roller furling gear must be lubricated and cleaned regularly in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.. Sails should be checked regularly and repairs effected for the following: 1 Chaffing occurring mainly at spreaders and on foot of large sails.
Page 14
If treated with care and maintained correctly these sails should give many seasons good service. Yacht Moody 31 11.73 3.81 10.21 3.51...
Page 15
Folding Sails Mainsail If your yacht does not have a self-furling mainsail system, one of the easiest methods of folding is with the sail still on the boom: 1 Tighten topping lift to support boom. 2 Lower the sail fully. 3 Ensure the coachroof hatches are closed.
Page 16
Some yachts are fitted with furling headsails but if not, the headsail must be removed and bagged when not in use. Bagging Put the head of the sail into the sailbag. 2 Work the luff, leech and body of the sail in together. 3 Leave the tack and clew until last and pass the sailbag neck cord through both tack and clew before drawing tight.

Setting sails No yacht wil sail well if the sails are badly set. The points which follow are therefore included to assist in setting sails correctly. Hoisting Whilst this is a very straight forward procedure in itself, the amount of tension in the halyard depends on wind conditions.
Moody 425 Constellation 400 36" * Tiller steering is standard on Moody 31, wheel steering fitted only as an option. Emergency All yachts, less those fitted with two steering positions as standard, are supplied with an emergency tiller. This is fitted hi a tiller socket located either within the yacht or externally under a blanking cover.
Page 19
Constellation Systems The Whitlock Constellation 400 system, comprises a pedestal complete with friction brake and conduit plate assembly. The system consists of: Engine control and guard rail. 12" or 15" quadrant in either aluminium or bronze, bored and keyed to suit rudder stock.
Page 20
Rudders All yachts are fitted with a partial skeg hung, semi-balanced rudder. It consists of a long stainless steel stock passing through the hull. A stainless steel stiffening plate is welded to the stock and a GRP rudder is moulded over the stock and plate. For wheel operation, a steering quadrant is fitted to the stock within the hull area.
Page 21
Maintenance Rudders Rudders become less efficient as bush wear increases. Bushes should therefore be checked at the end of each season and repaired as necessary. Rudders may leak slightly as the 'O' rings become worn. These should be checked at the end of each season and replaced as necessary.

Maintenance Basic engine care The following basic points, if adhered to, will ensure long engine life. The most critical period in the life of a marine diesel engine is the first 20 - 30 running hours. If in any doubt, the engine manufacturer's manual should be referred to. 1 Do not start an engine unless you are sure: •...
9 Ensure the first service is carried out by a manufacturer recommended agent. 12 Adhere to all manufacturer's recommendations. Correct lubrication is critical for turbocharged engines using the correct grade at the recommended frequency. For further information see section on dewinterising.
Page 29
Running -In It is recommended to run-in new engines (20 hours) following these basic points: 1 Do not excessively rev engine. 2 In the event of a warning light or alarm, stop the engine immediately. 3 All gear changes should be implemented at low engine revolution (i.e. from neutral).
A diesel water tap is mounted on a bulkhead within the engine compartment. The bowl should be checked periodically for water content and drained as necessary. Return pipes_________________________ All diesel engine installations in Moody yachts are fitted with fuel return pipes to allow surplus fuel to be returned to the tank. Fuel contents___________________________ Fuel tank contents are determined by either sightglass or fuel gauge.
Page 31
Cooling systems The basic cooling system is illustrated below. Seawater is drawn into the system by the engine impeller, entering the yacht through a skin fitting. It passes through a seacock and a filter before passing through the engine and the mixer box and out through the exhaust system.
Page 32
Water filter This is a very basic strainer forming part of the water inlet seacock (see illustration on page 1.2). Inspection and cleaning should be carried out as follows: 1 Ensure the seacock is in the closed position. 2 Unscrew the wing nuts and swing the cap aside. 3 Withdraw the plastic filter and inspect/clean.
Page 33
Engine controls All yachts are fitted with the a single lever TX' type throttle and gear change lever. Gear selection Forward is selected by pushing the lever forward, the further forward it is pushing the higher the engine revs. Reverse is selected by pulling lever aft and again, the further aft it is pulled, the higher the engine revs.
first that the engine 'stop' control is in the 'run'position. On engines fitted with mechanical stop systems, do not turn the key to the 'off position whilst the engine is running. This can seriously damage the charging system, particularly the alternator. If your engine fails to start, when the batteries are in good condition, check first that the engine 'STOP' control is in the 'Run' position.
Page 35
4 If the engine has been run hard for a long period, let it idle for a few minutes before switching off. This is sometimes known as 'Turbo Run Down'. In all engines, it will avoid the risk of 'After Boil', a condition where the cooling system temperature continues to rise because of lack of circulation.
Page 36
Calcium deposits Where yachts remain unused for long periods it is possible for a hard calcium deposit to form on the propeller shaft. If this deposit forms between the joins hi the cutlass bearing, when the shaft revolves for the first time the hard calcium deposit can cause damage to the bearing surface.
Utilities Electrical systems The individual electrical systems are illustrated on pages 5.4 to 5.13. Batteries - 12V system________________________________ Most yachts use a 12 Volt electrical system with either two or three batteries. Batteries will deteriorate rapidly if not maintained correctly.

Freshwater systems Moody yachts have either manually pumped cold water systems or pressurised hot and cold water systems. The manually pumped systems use either hand or foot pumps supplied from a freshwater tank. Water Tanks Where twin tanks are fitted they are connected by a balance pipe. The tanks are filled through a single pipe and therefore tune should be allowed for the water level to stabilise during filling operations.
