Foil Care; Spar Care - RS LDC 2000 Rigging Manual

 SERIOUS – large hole, split, crack, or worse. Don't be too distressed!
Get the remnants back to a recognised repairer or send us a picture for
assessment.
 MEDIUM – small hole or split. If this occurs during an event, sailing can
often be continued as long as leaking can be prevented by drying the
area and applying strong adhesive tape. CAUTION – if the damage is
close to a heavily loaded point, then the surrounding area should be
closely examined to ensure that it will accept the loads. Get the
damage professionally repaired as soon as possible.
 SMALL – dents, scratching. This type of damage is not boat
threatening.
RS Sailing 2000 Rudder blades are manufactured from
Maintenance
 Foils should be rinsed with fresh water after use.
The centreboard is made from Epoxy. They are very strong and hard wearing,
but they will get damaged if run aground hard. Due to the nature of its
construction, a damaged foil can still be used but should be repaired as soon
as possible.
If you are going to trail your boat frequently, you may wish to invest in an RS
Sailing padded rudder bag. This will protect your LDC 2000 from any damage
caused by the foil.
The mast and boom are aluminium. Wash with fresh water as often as
possible, both inside and out. Check all of the riveted fittings on a regular
basis for any signs of corrosion or wear.
