Underwater coating
An antifouling coating of the underwater hull is recommended because marine
growth will reduce the performance of the yacht enormously within a short
period.
If the yard does not supply you with a suitable antifouling paint, you should
follow the advice of the manufacturer.
If the antifouling coating has to be slightly grinded, you should consult the
harbor officials or the person responsible for the facility. Always cover the
ground under the yacht with plastic sheets to collect the dust and toxic waste.

Mast and rigging
Composition of the rigging:
The mast is a 15/16 rig with two pairs of angular spreaders. The backstay with
a straining rig serves as an additional protection and is used for bending the
mast.
Preparations and erecting the mast
∼
The mast should be placed on wooden or softly coated frames at a
proper working height.
∼
The supports for the instruments (wind gauge, antennas), that are fitted
after the erection of the mast are mounted first.
∼
Pass the cables for the instruments through the mast (when ordered at
the yard, the cables have already been placed in their respectable
places).
∼
Devices or instruments that have to be fitted before, must be protected
against damage.
Mounting the spreaders
∼
Fasten the spreaders at the designated mast fittings.
∼
Safeguard the locking bolts and its wires with strong tape to prevent
damage to sails (especially the spinnaker)
Fitting the standing rigging
∼
Unpack the wires and arrange them. Make sure that the turnbuckles are
not damaged by dragging them over hard ground. They are best
protected if you wind some tape around them.
∼
Grease the threads of the turnbuckles properly.
∼
Fix the single wires to the corresponding mast positions.
