REPLACEMENT OF RIGGING PARTS:
IMPORTANT:
Water stays must be changed every max 7 years or by max. 20,000 NM of sailing.
Standing rigging on the mast (spreader and diamond stays/cables) must be
changed/replaced minimum every 15 years and/or by max 20.000 NM.
Safety cable under the trampoline is to be changed after max 10 years at the
latest.
Side stays from the mast to the floats + forestay should be changed after max 10
years or by max 15,000 NM of sailing.
Regarding wheel steering cables, we recommend changing these 6 mm stainless
steel cables (7 x 19 quality) every 5 years or by max 10,000 NM.
Replace the dyneema halyards in the mast and reefing lines if you see chafing
signs into the center of the core.
This recommendation is meant to be the latest for changing cables, lines,
standing rigging etc., but it is still the owner’s ongoing responsibility to always
check these vital parts visually.
For easier mounting of new water stays, use special stainless thread oil or thread
grease in the thread. For easier adjusting of the water stays, you can fold the
wings back about 60 cm (2’) aft and fit the water stays a bit loose at this position
and check if they fit hand tight when back in folded out position. You might have
to adjust a couple of times to get the right tension.
When changing or ordering new rigging parts and halyards – ALLWAYS make sure
to get the very same type of quality on these products – this is of outmost
importance and or order you new parts by Quorning Boats/Dragonfly and or your
local dealer.
NETTING/TRAMPOLINES:
Check regularly that the cable in the trampolines is not damaged, as this affects
the safety of the boat as well as the lines for the Swing-Wing system. When the
boat gets a bit older, check the stitches on the trampoline. We recommend re-
