UPHOLSTERY
Basic Stains
- Clean with a mild detergent and a soft to medium brush, or an all purpose cleaner such as Fan-
tastic™. Rinse with fresh water after cleaning.
Mildew
- Use a 4 to 1 mixture of water and ammonia, brushing the stain vigorously to remove the bacteria
responsible for the mildew. If the stain remains, briefly apply bleach to the area and rinse with fresh water.
Tough Stains or Mildew
- Use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of ammonia, 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide, and 3/4
cup distilled water. Briefly, apply to the surface, allowing the peroxide to bubble. Rinse with fresh water
TRIM / PLEXIGLASS / POLYETHYLENE
World Class uses vinyl, plexiglass, and polyethylene material (Starboard™) throughout the interior of our cata-
marans. Use the following instructions to care for these items:
•
Use mild detergents to clean vinyl trim commonly used in cabins and helm. Routinely use a com-
mercially available surface protector to seal the vinyl.
• Surface or glass cleaners can be used to clean plexiglass. It is commonly used for radio boxes and as a protec-
tive material for instrument panels.
• Starboard™ can be cleaned using surface cleaners such as 409™.
STAINLESS / ALUMINUM
Stainless steel and aluminum are used throughout your vessel. World Class uses only 316 marine grade stainless
hardware and anodized aluminum to provide you with years of service; however, these metals can deteriorate and fail
if improperly cared for. Upon returning, clean all hardware using a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with fresh
water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chlorine based products, as they will remove the metal’s protective coating
and lead to pitting or rust. Throughout the year coat the metal using a non-abrasive metal protector to help displace
moisture, remove contaminates, and shield the metal. World Class recommends high quality sealants such as
Boeshield T-9™ developed by Boeing™ Aviation. If you cannot find it locally call PMS Products Inc. at 800-962-
1732.
BILGE COMPARTMENTS
Routinely check the condition of the bilge compartments in your boat. This will help identify potential problems
and eliminate odors associated with stagnant water and the buildup of residue. Clean the compartments using a fresh-
water rinse. This will also enable you to check the function of your drain system and the operation of the bilge pumps.
COCKPIT DRAINS
All World Cats have four drains located in the cockpit, two on both the starboard and port sides. These drains are
designed to quickly evacuate the cockpit should the boat become swamped. Flushing these drains routinely will
ensure the safety of your crew and vessel, as well as, eliminate the potential for odors associated with fish residue.
These drains are evacuated through the scuppers located on the hullside. Each scupper has a rubber flap to prevent
water from entering the boat. Check this material occasionally to keep them free of debris and in good working con-
dition.
! WARNING
Do not mix ammonia and household bleach. Doing so will result in the formation of deadly chlorine
gas. If it is necessary to use bleach, clean up any traces of ammonia and ventilate the work space for a
minimum of 15 minutes prior to applying bleach.
