Maintenance It is recommended that the boat is covered when not in use to prevent UV and other weather damage. A specially designed cover is available from Hansa Sailing Systems for this purpose. If sails are to be left furled on the boat when not in use it is recommended that these are covered using a protective sail sock to prevent UV and other weather damage. -
