The ballooner is located in the front starboard deck locker and the mizzen ballooner in the
cockpit aft portside locker.
The Super Maramu 2000 is equipped with 5 tri-radial cut sails:
- 3 are made out of composite DACRON fabric : the jib, the mainsail and the
mizzen,
- 2 are made out of nylon fabric : the ballooner and the mizzen ballooner.
a) Winches
CAUTION ! 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.
The Super Maramu 2000 is equipped with 2 electric winches (type LEWMAR 58 CEST) for
the jib sheet. Under the mizzen mast is the electric winch (LEWMAR 40 CEST) for the main
sheet.
For further information, refer to their own manual.
The electric jib sheet winches have a twin control system : switches are located on the back
of the cockpit's benches and at the sails' control panel, nearby the steering wheel.
Make sure nobody leans against a winch while operating.
The electric winches can be used manually with a regular winch handle. No need to
disconnect or release anything. A circuit breaker for each one can be switched off, if there
are some children on board for example. Always remove the handle when operating
electrically.
