SailCube Sailing Boat, Owners/Rigging Manual

Page: 9 / 9


Top covers must not be allowed to “flap” when driving at speed. This can abrade the surface of the hull and
damage it.

It is recommended if you are towing and plan to use your top cover that an under-cover is fitted first to prevent cover
flap damage to the top sides of the hull.

When securing your boat to a trailer for transport be very careful that ratchet straps and ropes are not over tightened
and that there is sufficient padding under the strap or rope to prevent the hull/deck from being damaged through
abrasion or pressure.

Your SailCube hull should NOT be left on a pebble beach, as the polyethylene could dent.

Care must be taken to support the hull adequately if storing on racking or in a similar manner.

Any sustained point loading could permanently dent or distort the hull.

Your boat should always be tied down securely to the ground when not in use.

On Water Towing

Always use painter and transom bridle lines of 8mm/5/16” minimum diameter in order to prevent point load related
damage to the integral SailCube bow and stern bushes.

The inboard end of the painter should always be tied directly to the rope loop in the centre of the mast deck plate
bridle when towing.

Towing your SailCube at high speed (10 – 20 knots) behind a rib or power boat can seriously damage your SailCube and
its component parts.

The maximum recommended towing speed for your SailCube is 6 knots.
Enjoy Your SailCube Sailing!
