Tuning Guide for the 2000 Ezzy Duo and Duo Plus
7) Roll sail beginning from the head, and tuck in the mast pad horizontally.
8) Insert the sail into the sail bag with the sleeve-end first.
Sail Care:
Trouble-Shooting:
Sunlight:
Sunlight will break down all sailcloth in a relatively short time (300 hours of direct sunlight).
Don't dry off your sails in the sun! It is better tot dry them in the shade, or to roll up wet.
Creasing:
Creasing damages sail cloth. When rigging and de-rigging, try not to crease your sail or let it
flap in the wind.
Sand:
Sand will scratch the sailcloth film and can clog the batten tensioners. Try to roll your sail
sand-free.
Cleaning:
Use a mild soap and water with a rag to clean your sail. Harsh solvents may damage the sail
cloth.
Contrary to what most people think, you do not need to fresh-water rinse your sail.
Storage:
It will not damage your sail to store it with the battens fully tensioned.
If storing your rolled sail vertically, make sure the sleeve-end is supporting the weight. This
prevents the clew from getting damaged.
Problem:
Possible Solution:
Camber is difficult to get on
the mast:
1) Make sure the batten tensioner is completely released while
snapping cam on.
2) Make sure the sail has no downhaul tension and is outhauled fully
before snapping cam on.
Camber does not flip:
1) Camber batten too tight, release a little batten tension.
2) Cam is under-rotated, need less downhaul.
Camber comes off of mast:
1) Camber is over-bending, need more downhaul.
2) Mast diameter is larger than normal, lengthen the webbing straps
on the cam.
