Introduction and important notes
Manual XCAT Basic Page 8 Edition: 05/2023
Do not store the outboard seats, masthead-float or fender permanently in
the blazing sun, as they are not completely UV-resistant. Dismantle the
outboard seats after sailing and store them in the shade or cover them (also
recommended against dirt and especially bird droppings).
Always maintain your XCAT properly and take into account the wear and tear
that occurs over time due to frequent use or improper use.

1.5 Environmental protection
As water sports enthusiasts, we feel the effects of environmental pollution
firsthand. The feeling of diving into a chemically contaminated muddy broth
during take-off and landing above a capsize can thoroughly spoil the fun of
water sports. Just as we expect clean water and a biologically intact
environment for our recreational sports, we should strive to keep the
environmental impact of operating the XCAT as low as possible.
The hull skin of the XCAT is made of HD-PE. A weather-resistant, impact-
resistant and dirt-repellent plastic that is easy to clean. Even attached shells
are easy to remove. The hulls, filled with EPP particle foam, are extremely
impact resistant, unsinkable and almost indestructible. And yet, because of
the foam core, very light and stable. HD-PE and EPP are both very
environmentally friendly and easy to recycle.
With the XCAT model options, you are always environmentally friendly on the
way.
