The materials and equipments of your boat have been selected be-
cause of their high quality and performance and ease of maintenan-

However you shall carry out a minimum maintenance in order to
protect your boat from outside attacks (salt, sun, electrolysis ...).
Preferably wash your boat on shore.
Use as few cleaning agents as possible.
Don't use solvents or aggressive detergent agents.
Don't discharge your cleaning product into the water.
Regularly brush the deck with a degreasing shampoo and fresh wa-
ter.
RECOMMENDATION
We strongly advise you against using a pressure washer.
You shall not use hot water or steam.

DECK FITTING
- Rinse thoroughly all your equipments with fresh water.
- Periodically lubricate blocks, sheaves, bottle screws, winches,
rails and travellers with a water-repellent grease.
- Stainless steel that is showing small spots or blisters of rust should
be cleaned and polished with a chrome and steel renovator.
SOLID WOOD ON EXTERIOR WOODEN PANELLING
Regularly clean the woodworks with fresh water using a sponge (if
need be add some gentle soap).
PLEXIGLAS
- Rinse plexiglas with fresh water.
- Brighten up with a soft rag soaked with liquid paraffin.

C a rr e e n in g
A (tin-free) anti-fouling painting every year will make it possible to
avoid tedious and frequent careening. An epoxy coat is recommen-
ded beforehand. You are reminded that any excessive sanding be-
fore your antifouling paint attacks your gel coat and impairs its
reliability.
Your boat may regain her shine as new if polished. If a lasting and
isolated problem arises, contact your dealer.
