During lift-out - Check that the propellers turn properly, with neither play nor stiffness. - Clean the blades carefully. - Remove the propeller, clean the shaft support and coat the shaft with silicone-based grease before refitting the propeller. - After cleaning and applying a primer, antifoul the housing and the propellers. ADVICE-RECOMMENDATION - Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance.
15 DECK FITTINGS 15.1 GENERAL POINTS Alcohol, solvent or acetone-based solutions must not be used to clean/maintain the outer surfaces of the boat. A warm, soapy, water-based solution is best for this purpose. 15.1.1 GRP - Regularly brush the deck using a gentle de-greasing agent then rinse the deck with fresh water.
15.1.4 Solid wood on exterior wooden panelling - Wood exposed to harsh conditions such as salty air and UV rays tends to become whiter and to lose its natural colour. This phenomenon has no effect on the intrinsic qualities of the wood, but can spoil its aesthetic appeal.
15.2 EQUIPMENT 15.2.1 Sun roof General points - The roof must be absolutely open OR closed during navigation. It is dangerous to sail with the roof partially open. - Opening and closing the sunroof becomes difficult in strong wind or rough seas: take extra care in these conditions.

- Once the sunroof is opened or closed, it is crucial to look it in place using the mechanism provided for the purpose to avoid any risk of trapping or of it being ripped off - 140 - 414751 RCD-2 Index A...
15.3 BERTHING, ANCHORING, TOWING 15.3.1 Anchor points Responsibility It is the responsibility of the owner/user of the boat to ensure that the berthing lines, towing cables, chains and mooring lines and the anchors are adequate for the intended use of the boat, i.e.
15.3.2 Towing Responsibility: It is important that the owner thinks through the actions required when securing a towing cable onboard. Location of attachment points A. Mooring cleats. B. Towing: - at the bow, to be towed - at the stern, to tow - Generally the breaking strength of lines/chains must not exceed 80% of the breaking strength of the anchor points.
15.4 MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE ANCHOR LOCKER 1. Bow forestay chain plate 4. Chain retainer 2. Chain locker hatch 5. Windlass remote control 3. Electric windlass (sprocket diameter * 6. Bitter end ring 1 mm) Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance. Windlass operations are dangerous: - Always keep the anchor chain or rope free and unfouled;...
15.5 ELECTRIC WINDLASS General points - The windlass is DC powered. - The windlass is designed for anchoring purposes: Any other use is dangerous and must be strictly avoided. - An operation relay is fitted to the electrical circuit. - A circuit-breaker protects the power supply to the windlass. - The windlass operation is activated by an operational interlock relay which is powered by the engine's alternator: the windlass only works when the boat's engine is running.
Page 145
- When at sea, secure the chain or anchor rope to secure points such as the chain stopper or the anchor rode to the belaying cleat (the windlass must not be used as the only method of securing the chain or rode). - With dual control, be careful to use only one control at a time.
16 HULL FITTINGS 16.1 INTERIOR UPHOLSTERY GENERAL POINTS - The interior upholstery is designed for use inside the boat only. - The fabric used inside the boat has not had any special treatment to protect it from a saline atmosphere or from UV. - Make sure the curtains are drawn to protect the interior upholstery from exposure to sunlight.
Page 148
COATED FABRIC (PVC) Maintenance - The PVC must be regularly cleaned with soapy water to maintain its appearance and to avoid accumulation of debris. We strongly advise against using the following products: lacqeurs, aggressive cleaning products, detergents, xylene or acetone-based products which can cause permanent damage or make the fabric deteriorate.
16.2 INTERIOR WOODWORK Varnished wooden panels: - The acrylic varnish has medium resistance to external chemical damage as well as minor scratches. - Clean regularly with lukewarm soapy water. - Do not use polish (this may result in unwanted brightening of appearance). - For scratches, remove the panel and have it re-varnished by your dealer.
17 HANDLING AND TRANSPORT 17.1 LIFTING DIAGRAM Note: Measurements are expressed in mm. The position of the lifting slings is shown in the pictogram below: - 151 - 414751 RCD-2 Index A...
17.2 LIFTING - Before the first application of antifouling to the hull, you should lightly sand the hull using wet and dry sandpaper of 400 µm or more. - The lower hull of your boat should be covered with an anti-fouling paint to prevent the adhesion of marine growth.
17.3 UPPER LIMIT OF ANTIFOUL Note: Measurements are expressed in mm. 17.4 LAUNCHING AND RETRIEVING The first time you use your boat a high level of skill and attention will be required. The proper functioning of all equipment will depend on the initial set-up being carried out correctly. For this reason the first launch must be carried out under your dealer's supervision.
17.5 WINTERISATION - Take advantage of laying-up to carry out a full inventory of the equipment. - Check the expiry dates of the safety equipment. - Have the liferaft overhauled. - Empty the complete water system inside and outside and rinse it through with a mix of water and vinegar (do not use chlorine-based products).
18 ENVIRONMENT Waste management: - Throw all packaging in the recycling containers provided. - Once a piece of equipment has stopped working completely, find out about the relevant recycling regulations from your nearest recycling centre or from your dealer. - Make sure you follow the relevant local laws when scrapping. - Some onboard equipment can have a toxic effect on the environment and on human health due to the specific substances they contain: Do not throw any equipment in household waste containers and absolutely never dispose of equipment in the sea.
