4.4. Painting
Painting is only applied to the underwater body and must be reworked or renewed regularly. It
depends on the frequency of use how often this is necessary. If possible, do not alter the painting
system if the compatibility of the systems is unknown.
Dispose of the sanding dust according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The varnish inside the boat only needs to be reworked or renewed if damaged. If necessary,
contact the trader on this issue.
4.5. Expendable parts and replacements
Should the boat be damaged, only use original parts or components of the same quality if possible.
This particularly applies to parts that must resist certain strains, e.g. parts of the rigging, the deck
gear etc.
Your trader can help you in this respect.
4.6. Repairs
Repairs at the hull, drive, systems, tanks, and sails should be performed by a specialist firm,
because they have the required technical equipment and expertise regarding the way in which a
repair can again lead to a fully functioning boat. This is especially the case with structural damages.
Our shipyard will support you and can name specialist firms able to perform expertly repairs.
4.7. Inspection of installations and systems
The reliable functioning of the individual systems is important for safely operating the watercraft.
Check the functioning of the installations and systems on a regular basis. For this purpose, use the
manual and the enclosed operating instructions.
Appropriate measures must be taken to prevent damages to the fuel conduits.
Attention! Prevent inflammable materials or liquids from coming in
contact with hot parts of the engine!
Attention! Equipment that contains petrol may not be stored in
areas that are not meant for it!
4.8. Winter storage
Winter storage is the time during which your boat is left unattended for a longer period of time.
During this period it must stand securely and should be stored in a place protecting it from the
effects of weather.
Please read section 2.1 Transport, craning, slipping.
Dispose of all waste.
Remove all valuables from the boat. Cushions should be stored in dry, airy and frost-free places.
If the boat is covered by a tarpaulin, you should ensure that the air can circulate well underneath it.
If possible, keep the ventilation apertures of the boat open.
The tarpaulin should be tied together well so that no abrasions occur on the boat’s body and
especially the hull.
