IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ON THE RIGGING:
Always check the rigging, halyards, reefing lines, water stays and rudder down haul
line, as well as the cable operating the swing wing system in the aft wing.
Minimum once a year shorten all halyards, reefing lines, and swing wing lines by
approx. 25 cm. After some years turn them around or replace the lines.
Water stays, Touring and Sport version: max. 10 years use and/or max. 15,000 NM.
Water stays, Performance version: max. 7 years use and/or max. 10,000 NM.
Side stays and forestay should be changed latest after 10 years or by max 15,000 NM.
Diamond stays on the mast should be changed latest after 15 years or by max 20,000
NM.
We recommend changing the Beamstopcable under the Trampoline from centerhull
to forward outside Beam every max. 10 years.
Never use shackles or similar on the boatman 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 diamonds without checking tension with a tension
meter according to rig tension diagram, changing the rig tension cause the mast to
break.
Never drill holes in the carbon mast section without asking your local dealer or
Quorning Boats beforehand.
Never wrap the mast in any plastic, as this can cause the paint to bubble. If wrapping
is needed, use breathable textile.
Wash the mast track with soap and water before stepping the mast.
