11) Make sure that ventilation is good before storing the boat for the
winter. The best thing to do is to store the boat indoors for the winter
period. If you use a canvas or plastic type cover, make sure it does not
touch the boat and hulls, as this might scratch the boat badly.
12) Flush the holding tank several times and empty this before you haul
out the boat – best min. two times.
Any damage to boat, gear, sails, or instrumentation should be fixed in the
fall/autumn, as everybody gives the best service at that time of the year.
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ON THE RIGGING:
Always visually check the rigging, halyards, reefing lines, water stays and rudder
down line, as well as the cables and lines operating the Swing-Wing system.
Minimum once a year, shorten all halyards, reefing lines, and Swing-Wing lines by
approx. 25 cm, only if you see chafing on the lines. After some years, you can
turn them around or replace the lines.
We recommend changing the water stays every 7 years using the same quality of
products, or, at max. 20,000 NM.
Side stays and forestay cables should be changed after 10 years at the latest, or,
by max 15,000 NM.
Diamond stays on the mast should be changed after 15 years at the latest, or, by
max 20,000 NM.
When changing to new parts and rigging systems – ALLWAYS make sure to use
the very same kind of products and or order these parts at Quorning Boats
aftersales.
Tension on the rigging, please see rig diagram.
Never climb the rigging when the boat is in folded position.
