The lower hull of your boat should be covered with an anti-fouling paint which will prevent
the adhesion of marine growth.
The nature of the water in which the boat sails will determine the choice of the anti-fouling
paint as well as the frequency of hull stripping and painting. Do not hesitate to take advice
from your specialists.
Refer to chapter 11 for launching instructions.
Before applying anti-fouling paint never:
- Do any sandblasting.
- Use any other solvents than ethylic alcohol.
- Use detergents under pressure.
- Use scrapers.
- Do any sanding other than a light rubbing down by hand with a grade 400 wet abrasive
paper (for the first application).
If cleaning of the anti-fouling paint has to be done with a high pressure hose:
- The water temperature must not exceed 15 °C.
- The water pressure must not exceed 150 bars.
- The distance between the hose nozzle and the hull must not be less than
10 centimetres.
Follow the supplier's instructions very closely when applying the anti-fouling paint.
All these hull maintenance operations can be carried out by your dealer.
PRECAUTION
- Consult the harbourmaster's office to find out the conditions of water use and the
maintenance area for cleaning your vessel.
- It is necessary to seek the advice of your concessionnaire with regard to gel-coat
repairs.
PRECAUTION
- When applying the anti-fouling paint do not paint over the electronic instrument
sensors nor the anodes.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- When in dry dock check the anodes on the engine housings.
- See "Motorisation" chapter.
