Additional Storage Key Points
• Always open drain plugs and remove all water from boat.
• If you are living in freezing conditions, make sure all water is
drained from all aluminum assemblies.
• Don't leave tie-down straps tight over a long period of time.
• Storing in non-recommended configurations can result in hull
damage and can void your warranty.
• Always allow your sail to dry and store it in the bag to prevent fabric
damage.
• If you are storing your sail long term, make sure it is stored in a
cool, dry place.
• Do not store mast upright in freezing conditions. Water
accumulation inside the mast extrusion can freeze and crack the
aluminum.
Transportation
The best way to transport your boat is to purchase a trailer from your
dealer. Using proper cradles/rollers that support the hull, the boat
can be transported without causing damage. Straps can be laid across
the hulls and tied to the trailer crossbars. Straps should be tight, but
not so tight that they distort the shape of the boat. Avoid using ratchet
straps to prevent overtightening. BOAT, MAST AND OTHER
COMPONENTS SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE TRAILER WITH
ADEQUATE TIE-DOWN STRAPS. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE
EXTENSIVE DAMAGE OR SERIOUS INJURY!
