Deck fittings and hardware
The deck equipment components of the Grand Soleil 50’ are the best one available in the market.
The hardware and carpentry components are made of AISI 316 stainless steel, the best one for the
marine environment.
The hardware and carpentry components are mirror polished and protected by appropriate packing
during the entire production cycle.
In the diagram at the next page you can find the list of almost all fittings you can install and their
position. The last lines (the first ones of page 27) can be used as a memorandum, noting down the
position of the various halyards and sheets wound around the winch on the deck house (at position
49, the starboard halyards and at position 50, the port halyards). We advise you to do it, as you will
find it very useful as time goes by.
Deck fittings identification
Should a detailed identification of the deck fittings be required, we advise you to refer to the data
printed on the fittings themselves and to contact the manufacturer.
General warning
•
Do not attach any rope, such as sheets lead-blocks or others, to the teak toerail or to
the stanchions, but only use the provided fittings for their specific purpose.
Maintenance
•
Despite its name, the stainless steel is subject to corrosion and oxidation; the marine
and mooring environment can damage this material in case of inadequate
maintenance.
•
What we have just mentioned also applies to each metal component of the deck, including
the anodized aluminium alloy fittings, such as tracks, the hatches and portholes frames, etc.
