Additional Storage Key Points
• Always open drain plugs and remove all water from boat
• If you 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 then 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!
