Carefully pack the dry, deflated floats, cleaned
from sand and dust, so that the number of folds
will be as few as possible. The folds especially
at the edges of the packed float have to be
protected to prevent unnecessary wear. Care
should also be taken of the cover of the inflation
valve, and to avoid any damage to the floats
during packaging.
Pay particular attention when putting single
parts into the bag to prevent any damage.
Store the packed boat in a dry space protected
from direct sunlight and adverse temperatures
(rec:10 -25 °C). Avoid any load or strain being
placed on the boat during storage (putting any
heavy objects on top of it, etc.)
Careful treatment and good maintenance can
increase the life of your MiniCat.
Righting a capsized boat (Turning Turtle)
In case of overturning the MiniCat follow these
instructions:
1. Release the jib and the main sail to the
maximum to assure the least possible
resistance of the sails when righting the boat.
On the MiniCat Super and Sport - wind in the
jib.
2. Stand on one float then and pull on the mast
line and the handle on the other float. Be careful
to prevent damage to the keel fins.
After righting the boat use the handles on both
sides of the floats to get back on board.
Repair of your MiniCat
Damage to the MiniCat floats can be easily
repaired using the supplied
'MiniCat Repair
Kit'
.
Repair procedure:
-
Mark the damaged area on the boat
and select the patch according to the
size of the damage.
-
The surface of the patch and of the
damaged area must be dry, clean,
dust-free and without trace of
previous adhesive.
-
De-grease both the patch and the
damaged area using acetone or
petrol.
-
Apply a thin layer of adhesive to both
surfaces.
