XCS Excess15 User Manual page 19

02 HUll / DEcK
02.1 construction
The Excess 15 is constructed following the infusion process of a
polyester resin and a high quality anti-osmotic resin on a core of balsa
and fibreglass layers.
WaRNING
Do not let the hull's large plexiglass windscreens come into contact with
fenders or hawsers: surface damage would be irreparable.
02.2 careening
A periodical careening of your boat will keep her original performances
and avoid any adhesion of marine vegetation.
The type of the water where you boat sails determines how to
choose the antifouling paint as well as how often to carry out these
careenings.
Please contact a professional for advice.
