Extend the life of your new X-T
2
sail by following
these simple tips:
• Let your sail dry before de-rigging.
• Shake the sand off before rolling up your sail at the
beach, as this will extend your sail’s life considerably.
• Most scratches in the monofilm are caused by sand,
grit or salt crystals abrading the sail while it is rolled
up and traveling in your car. Rinse the sail with
fresh water occasionally, including inside the
mast sleeve, to avoid salt and sand buildup.
• Avoid rigging on hard or abrasive surfaces.
• If the sail is to be left rigged all day or overnight,
release the outhaul and downhaul.
• The sun’s ultra violet (UV) rays will degrade
the monofilm. Store your rigged sail out of
direct sunlight.
• To prevent creases in the monofilm, roll your sail on
the tube it came on, or roll it tightly and store it
where it won’t get flattened.
• Repair tears promptly through a qualified sail
repairperson. Make temporary repairs to the
monofilm with Mylar packing tape or a sticker on
both sides.
• Do not use solvents for cleaning near seams, as this
will dissolve the seam tape adhesives. Use citrus
based cleaners or water and mild soap.
• When on the beach, secure your sail from
blowing away.
• Avoid getting sand or dirt inside the
mast sleeve and batten pockets.
This reduces sail performance by
increasing friction and wear on the mast
and battens.
• Back off some batten tension if you are not
going to use the sail for an extended period.
