6.4 Sail Care
The mainsail should be rolled and stored dry, out of direct sunlight. When
using a new sail for the first time, try to avoid extreme conditions as high loads
on new sailcloth can diminish the racing life of the sail.
If your sail is stained in any way, try to remove it using a light detergent and
warm water. DO NOT attempt to launder the sail yourself.
A sail can be temporarily repaired using a self-adhesive cloth tape, such as
Dacron or Mylar. The sail should be returned to a sail maker for a professional
repair. Check for wear and tear, especially around the batten pockets, on a
regular basis.
6.5 Fixtures and Fittings
All of the fixtures and fittings have been designed for a specific purpose in the
boat. These items may break when placed under any unnecessary load, or
when used for a different function to their intended purpose. To ensure
optimum performance, wash the fixtures and fittings with fresh water regularly,
checking shackles, bolts, etc. for tightness.
