  • Page 93: The Rigging

    Basic considerations 8.15. The rigging Correctly adjusted rigging can improve sailing performance and distribute loads more evenly, as a result the service life of the spars is increased.

  • Page 94: Transport, Cranes, Slipways And Storage

    Owner's manual 8.16. Transport, cranes, slipways and storage Your C38 is designed and built for use in water. However, it can also be transported overland. Due to its dimen- sions, here the only option is special transport by an experienced organisation using a suitable vehicle. These days boats are moved using a crane or using other special hoists, for example a travellift.
  • Page 95 Basic considerations 8.16.2. Slipway If the yacht is drawn on land using a conventional slipway, it can sit on the keel during this process. Here the yacht is in an unstable state and must therefore be secured at the sides and also at the bow and stern against falling over.
