    FIRST 21.7 XIII) HANDLING Contact your BENETEAU dealer for the maintenance and repairs of your boat. He will advise properly, will supply you with the spare parts you need or the materials that are suited to your boat. Have your boat examined and maintained once a year during the winter storage.

  • Page 26: Xiv) Maintenance

    FIRST 21.7 XIV) MAINTENANCE Because you have chosen to invest your money in a recreational item that spends its life in a harsh environment, it is very important to ensure that your boat is well and regularly maintained. Furthermore, a fair number of accidents are due to negligence and the lack of maintenance.
  • Page 27 FIRST 21.7 The Outside Teak Woodworks : Scrub the woodworks using water. The teak woodworks do not need any particular protection. If you just rub them down with fine sandpaper, it will renovate the look of the teak. Plexiglass: Rinse with fresh water. Clean them using a sponge and a cleaning product for windows.
  • Page 28 FIRST 21.7 5) SAILS Whenever it is possible, rinse the sails with fresh water and let them dry. The sails cannot stand the sun and water ; therefore, unrig them whenever you can or at least protect them, using appropriate covers.

  • Page 29: Xv) Environment

    FIRST 21.7 XV) ENVIRONMENT Do not pour to the sea the oil you have just drained, use appropriate waste tanks. When you fill up the engine tank, take all the precautions in order to avoid the hydrocarbon overflowing. In the harbour, do not use the heads on board if they are not equipped with holding tanks.

  • Page 30: Xvi) Centreboard System

    FIRST 21.7 XVI) CENTREBOARD SYSTEM Operation: To raise the centreboard, activate the mechanism clockwise. To lower the centreboard, activate the mechanism anticlockwise. About 57 rotations are necessary to go from one extreme position of the centreboard to the other. In order to sail with the centreboard in the lower position, lower the centreboard to the maximum then pull it up by one or two turns so that the system should always be taut.
