Maintenance of the mainsail :
It is recommended to rinse the mainsail travelers regularly, and lubrify them with a dry lube
(Sailkote).
It will dry in a couple of seconds and extend the life of your travelers.
Inspection of the rudder bar joints :
It is recommended to regularly check the correct locking of the joints (locking nut).
Inspection of the auto pilot ram joints (if option selected):
It is recommended to regularly check the correct locking of the rod terminal joint (locking nut).
Stainless steel :
All the stainless-steel parts are 316L grade and the screws A4 quality, but the stainless steel who has
been in contact with ferrous metals (non-chromed drills, keys or screwdrivers) tarnish or rust quickly.
This is a surface pollution that could be removed by using a passivating cleaning paste, like “Winch
inox” from WICHARD.
Windlass :
In order to ensure a good function of the remote control of the Windlass, it should not be stored in
the anchor well.
Fresh water :
During winter (in water or at a storage area), ensure that the entire water circuit is purged, to protect
the valves, the pipe system, as well as the water system (if so). (See also the chapter concerning
water).
Used waters :
It is recommended to clean the evacuation filter of the used waters regularly, notably the one in the
bathroom. (Access by the door of the furniture unit, under the sink).
