Refer to chapter 12 for launching instructions.
A (tin-free) anti-fouling painting every year will make it possible to avoid tedious and
frequent careening. An epoxy coat is recommended beforehand. You are reminded that any
excessive sanding before your antifouling paint attacks your gel coat and impairs its reliability.
High limit of antifouling: 190mm above the light ship waterline.
Your boat may regain her shine as new if polished. If a lasting and isolated problem arises,
contact your dealer.
The builder tested and approved a certain number of biodegradable cleaning and restoring
products that protect both material and environment.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
Gently sand.
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 anode on the propeller shaft line.
- See "Motorisation" chapter.
- When the boat is stored at a dry dock, the corrosion protection is not as effective due to
oxidation of the anodes: even the new anodes oxidize the surface. Before returning the
boat into the water, clean the anodes.
- Cleaning anodes: Use sandpaper.
Do not use metal brushes or steel tools to clean the boat, it may damage the galvanic
protection.
- Replacing the anodes: The anodes are fastened with screws and nuts. First, remove the
screws and nuts that hold the anode, then clean the contact surface. Press the new anode
to obtain a good electrical contact.
