Maintenance

General care :
For a good ventilation of the boat at the mooring, it is recommended to leave the deck hatches, the
two cockpit hatches (aft cabins, optional) as well as the companionway door slightly open.
It is important for your comfort as well as for the care of your boat and its equipment to regularly
drain the inside of your boat.
To guarantee optimal ageing of your boat, do not leave stagnant waters in the bottom, under the
floor mats. If necessary, after draining, leave the carpets, on edge, the time it takes to dry
completely.
Before wintering, rinse the interior with fresh water, if necessary to remove the salt. During winter
storage, it is advised to install a humidity absorber aboard.
Cleaning :
To clean the inside, you may use a domestic cleaning agent. For the deck cleaning it is better to use a
special cleaner or a coachwork cleaning agent.
Do not throw water polluted with oil or gasoline into the sea.
Lifting :
The illustration above, shows you the position of the lifting straps. You can easily locate the position
by the location of the stanchions.
All the precautions must be taken during the lifting of your boat. Ensure the clearance of the mast
from the crane hook. We advise you to remove the speed sensors and the depth sensor in order to
avoid any damage caused by the effort of the straps.
