8. MAINTENANCE 8.1. HAULAGE Figure 15 CAUTION: For hauling use either lifting points with rope eyes or crane straps. Check that the crane straps are positioned under the rope eyes (see Fig. 15). Make sure the straps do not damage the propeller. DANGER: It is not allowed to stay on board or stand under the boat when the boat is being hauled.
For a new boat it is very important to observe the following steps: Use a 95% proof alcohol to remove all traces of the mould release agents and then wipe with absorbent paper or cloth. To prepare the hull for the antifouling, gently sand it with sandpaper (400 grade).
8.3.2. STAINS, SCRATCHES AND ABRASION To remove stains use a mild detergent and fresh water. In case of persistent stains use 95% proof alcohol. In order to avoid the top gelcoat layers to change colour clean the surfaces regularly. Such stains can only be removed using a medium grade-rubbing compound.
The sails need constant attention as the slightest wear in the stitching or at reinforced parts become a weak point which can develop into a bigger damage. Keep a small sail-maker’s kit at hand. Bigger repairs should be made by a professional sail-maker. Sails dislike salt water and sun.
DO NOT use cleaning agents like acetone, gasoline etc. 8.6. INTERIOR 8.6.1. INTERIOR WOOD SURFACES Clean the varnished wood surfaces with fresh water and a clean cloth. Do not use organic solvents or expose surfaces to high temperatures to prevent permanent damage to the varnish. As wood is a natural product minor differences in colour can occur.
Inspect your tanks for any dirt regularly. Pay particular attention to any dirt accumulating at the bottom. WARNING: Inspect the fuel and water tanks only when you are sure that they are empty. Never unscrew the inspection hole when the tank is not empty. 9.
