IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE RIGGING
• Always check the rigging, halyards, reefing lines, water stays, rudder downhaul and
Swing Wing system before taking the boat out to sea.
• Every 6 months or minimum once a year shorten the main halyard and reefing lines
approx. 25 cm. After some years, you can turn them around or replace the lines.
• We recommend changing the water stays after max 10 years and/or by max 15.000
NM of sailing – use only same products and quality when changing. The water stays
are made in 8 mm Dyeform Cable SS quality.
• Side stays and forestays must be changed after max 10 years and not later than
10.000 NM of sailing.
•
Standing rigging on the mast ( diamond stays ) must be changed after max 15 years.
• Never use shackles or similar on the boatsmanchair when hoisting people up the
mast.
NEVER climb the rigging when the boat is in folded position !!!!
• Tension on the diamond stays rigging, please see rig diagram.
•
Never change the tension on the diamond stays without checking tension with a
tension meter according to rig tension diagram, changing the rig tension can cause
the mast to fail and break.
• Never drill holes in the carbon mast section without asking your dealer or Quorning
Boats beforehand.
•
Never wrap the Carbon mast in any plastic, as this can cause the paint to bubble up.
If wrapping is needed, use only breathable textile materials.
• If rigging and diamonds are taken apart for the winter, mark all parts and the exact
position of the turnbuckles to get the exact same tension again .
•
By releasing tension on the diamond cables, this will affect the stiffness/safety of the
mast and can cause the mast to collapse.
• Please take note that on the DF 25 Touring Version, the spinnaker halyard and
position of this is not designed to take the load for a Code-O type sail. For sailing the
