Don't let fingers, hair clothes or ties touch
the winches during operation. The rotating parts may
cause severe injuries. Before operation, make sure no
tool or towel is lying on the winch.
Don't leave children unattended while operating the
winches.
For safety reasons, have these equipment checked by
skilled staff.
Any electrical or mechanic work should be done by
skilled staff, using appropriate tools and protective gear.
Always rinse with fresh water the motor’s covers as they have been exposed to seawater.
The jib furling system don’t need any maintenance. Check the clutch pin is sufficiently
greased.
Check before each navigation that all the releases of the furling systems (jib, mainsail and
clew) can work, and train to release them.
Check and clean if needed the brushes of the mast and boom every 2 years. Don’ forget to
make them watertight again.
