an osmosis reaction between hulls and any (transport) sup-
ports. 

 
Transport 

To make sure that no damage is done to your boat, please 
see page 8 of this manual. 
 

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION  

 
 

 
 
 

 

It is essential that your boat receives the maintenance out-
lined on the following pages to retain the safety, reliability 
and performance built into your boat.  
 
Do not leave the rig under tension when not sailing or during 
storage. If rig tension is over tightened, or left on when not 
sailing damage may occur. 
 
Your boat should only be used with a proper launching trol-
ley. The use of any other trolley may damage the hull and 
invalidate your warranty. Care must be taken to support the 
hull adequately if the boat is not stored on the correct 
launching trolley. Any sustained point loading could perma-
nently dent or distort the hull. 
 
Any repairs to the hull should be undertaken by qualified 
personnel with the relevant skills and equipment. Contact 
your dealer for advice. 
 
UV light may cause fading to some components and fittings, 
a good quality cover is recommended to reduce UV degrada-
tion. Keep the equipment clean by frequently and 
thoroughly flushing with fresh water.  
 
Excess water should be removed from the hull and any cavi-
ties. Keep your craft drained and well ventilated. Ensure the 
craft is stored with the bow raised to allow water to drain 
away. Make sure that when you attach the rudder that 
the rudder stop clips over the stock.  
 
Salt water will deteriorate your sail and the stitching if the 
sail is not rinsed in fresh water after sailing. Sails should be 
dried before storing. Ideally we would recommend that you 
should store sails in a convenient dry place away from the 
craft. If you have to store sails on the craft ensure that a 
 

good cover is used and that it prevents any water 
coming into contact with the sails. Sails will be subject to 
mould and mildew if left in water.  
 
Trailers should be rinsed with fresh water and checked at 
regular intervals. It is recommended that the trailer be ser-
viced annually. It is also a good idea to tie the craft down 
when it is left in the dinghy park to prevent any damage 
in the event of strong winds. 
 
 

REPAIR 

Contact your dealer or Nautical Sports BV for the best advise 
 
MODIFICATIONS 
Contact your dealer or Nautical Sports BV about any modifi-
cation. Please remember any modifications may endanger 
your safety and invalidate your warranty. 
 

               

CAUTION!

 

Always wash your boat with fresh water after 

sailing. Salt water can cause severe corrosion
