IX. Storage
1. Disassemble the Multisport™ following the assembly steps in reverse.
NOTE: it is not necessary to remove the sailing harness from the hull, or
to remove the main sheet/ uphaul strap from the boom. These items can
be kept in place, making the next assembly easier.
2. Before storing, make sure all parts are clean and completely dry.
Once stored, any moisture in the product can encourage mildew, which
can permanently stain, and ultimately damage, the product.
3. Remove the air from the hull by unscrewing each valve cap and
releasing each valve flap. For deflation, it is best to reach through the
valve hole and pull the flap through the hole with one finger. This allows
the air to escape freely without becoming trapped in the bladder. For
tight packing, remove all air from the hull using the DEFLATE port in the
foot pump.
4 Store the product out of direct sunlight and protected from the envi-
ronment in a clean, dry location. Do not store in a damp location. Do
not store at temperatures below freezing, as damage to the product may
occur.
5. Once disassembled, follow the steps below to pack the Multisport™
270 in the roller travel bag for storage or transport.
6.
Rolling the sail.
The Multisport™ sail should be rolled up for stor-
age. Fold the top of the sail over the top batten and begin to roll the sail
from this point as shown in photo 6A below. Continue as shown in photo
6B until the sail is completely rolled. Slip the rolled sail into the sail bag
for storage.
7.
Folding the hull.
Once
all the air is removed from
the hull, fold the hull into
thirds, lengthwise. Photo 7
shows the first of two folds.
8. Next, fold the hull in half
from front to back as shown
in photo 8.
9.
Packing the bag.
Begin
by packing the rudder, keels,
pump and sailing harness (if
detached).
10. Next, place the folded
hull in the bag.
11. Last, place the mast,
boom and sail on top of the
hull. The mast and sail need
to be placed at a diagonal
angle relative to the bag in
order to fit properly. Carefully
zip the bag closed and store
in a warm, dry location.
