IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE RIGGING
•
Always check the rigging, halyards, reefing lines, water stays, rudder downhaul and
Swing Wing system before taking the boat out to sea.
•
Every 6 months or minimum once a year shorten the main halyard and reefing lines
approx. 25 cm. After some years, you can turn them around or replace the lines.
•
We recommend changing the water stays after max 10 years and/or by max 15.000
NM of sailing – use only same products and quality when changing. The water stays
are made in 8 mm Dyeform Cable SS quality.
•
Side stays and forestays must be changed after max 10 years and not later than
10.000 NM of sailing.
•
Standing rigging on the mast ( diamond stays ) must be changed after max 15 years.
•
Never use shackles or similar on the boatsmanchair when hoisting people up the
mast.
NEVER climb the rigging when the boat is in folded position !!!!
•
Tension on the diamond stays rigging, please see rig diagram.
•
Never change the tension on the diamond stays without checking tension with a
tension meter according to rig tension diagram, changing the rig tension can cause
the mast to fail and break.
•
Never drill holes in the carbon mast section without asking your dealer or Quorning
Boats beforehand.
•
Never wrap the Carbon mast in any plastic, as this can cause the paint to bubble up.
If wrapping is needed, use only breathable textile materials.
•
If rigging and diamonds are taken apart for the winter, mark all parts and the exact
position of the turnbuckles to get the exact same tension again .
•
By releasing tension on the diamond cables, this will affect the stiffness/safety of the
mast and can cause the mast to collapse.

Please take note that on the DF 25 Touring Version, the spinnaker halyard and
position of this is not designed to take the load for a Code-O type sail. For sailing the
