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. if needed. After some years, you can turn them around or replace the
lines.
For the Touring and Sport version, 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 10 mm Dyeform quality.
For the Performance version, we recommend changing the water stays after max 7
years and/or by max 10,000 NM of sailing use only same products and quality when
changing. The water stays are made in 10 mm Dyeform quality.
Side stays and forestay must be changed after max 10 years and or by max 15.000
NM.
Standing spreader rigging on the mast must be changed after max 15 years.
Never use shackles or similar on the boats man chair .
NEVER climb the rigging when the boat is in folded position.
Tension on the rigging, please see rig diagram.
Never change the tension on the spreader diamonds without checking tension with a
tension meter according to rig tension diagram, changing the rig tension can cause
the mast to break.
Never drill holes in the carbon mast section without asking your dealer or Quorning
Boats beforehand.
Never wrap the 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 so exact same tension can be set again.
By releasing tension on the diamond cables, this will affect the stiffness/safety of the
mast and can cause the mast to collapse, so don´t the tension.
