• Let your sail dry before de-rigging.
• Shake the sand off before rolling up your sail at the beach, as this will extend
your sail's life considerably. Rinse the sail with fresh water occasionally, including
inside the mast sleeve, to avoid
salt and sand buildup.
• Avoid rigging on hard or abrasive
surfaces.
• If left rigged all-day or overnight,
release the outhaul and
downhaul.
• Store your rigged sail out of
direct sunlight. UV degrades
monofilm.
• To prevent creases in the
monofilm, roll your sail on the
tube it came on, or roll it tightly
and store it where it won't get
flattened.
• Repair tears promptly through a
qualified sail repairperson. Make
temporary repairs to the monofilm
with Mylar packing tape or a
sticker on both sides.
• Do not use solvents for cleaning
near seams, as this will dissolve
the seam tape adhesives. Use
water and mild soap.
• When on the beach, secure your
sail from blowing away.
• Avoid getting sand or dirt inside the mast
sleeve and batten pockets. This reduces sail
performance by increasing friction and wear
on the mast.
• Loosen the batten tension if you are not
going to use the sail for an extended period.
