• Shake the sand off before rolling up
your sail at the beach, as this will
help keep the monofilm clear. Most
scratches to the monofilm are
caused by sand and grit abrading
the sail while it's rolled up.
• Prevent creases in the monofilm by
rolling your sail tightly and use the
bungee Snap Tie to keep it rolled
tightly and store the sail where it
won't get flattened.
• Rinse 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 for extended periods,
release the outhaul and downhaul.
• Store your rigged sail out of direct
sunlight. UV degrades monofilm.
• 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. To remove tar spots
or sticker adhesive residue use a
citrus based cleaner.
• When leaving your sail unattended
on the beach, secure it 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 and battens.
• Loosen the batten tension if you are
not going to use the sail for an
extended period.
• Check the non-skid texture on your
board for excessively distributed or
very coarse non-skid on the rails
around the mast step and at the
nose. Coarse non-skid in these
areas can badly damage the sail.
Use some fine sand paper and
gently sand the texture down so
that it is less abrasive to the sail.
