Only use reputable lifting companies or boat yards with sufficient lifting capacity.
When the boat is being lifted, the lines must be placed under the boat and the boat must
remain horizontal during lifting.
NOTE! Do not lift the boat by its bollards.
DANGER! Never stand under a boat that is suspended from a crane.
6 Servicing and maintenance
Keep your boat and its equipment clean and tidy. This increases comfort and safety on
board, and also the boat’s resale value.
Familiarise yourself with the service procedures shown in the engine manual (see annex).
Have your engine serviced according to the instructions in the manual.
Washing and waxing the boat
Normally it is sufficient to just wash and wax the deck and sides. Special boat cleaning agents
are most suitable for the purpose. Use mild detergents. Do not use strong solvents (pH value
must not exceed 11); they can cause glossy reinforced plastic surfaces to fade. Mildly
abrasive polishes can be used to remove chafes and embedded dirt from the deck. Fibre
glass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer.
Useful tip: When the boat has been washed with tap water, a thin chalk-like layer of lime
and minerals will remain on the boat’s surface after it has dried. The problem can be
eliminated by adding a few drops of pine oil soap into a bucket of rinsing water, which will
soften it.
Useful tip: Water and lime stains on stainless steel rails can be removed using Lemon Pled
furniture spray. Your railings will shine like the day they came off the assembly line.
Useful tip: If the boat's ropes smell bad after the season, immerse them for a couple of hours
in a bucket of water with a bottle of apple vinegar and a splash of fabric conditioner added.
Allow the lines to dry properly, and they will be as good as new.
Care instructions for seat cushions
Always use the canopy or harbour cover when it is raining to protect the open deck space
and seat cushions. Although the seat cushions are made of water-resistant material, water
can get in through their seams. If the cushions remain damp for any length of time, they may
get mouldy and be ruined. If the mattresses get wet, the fabric can be removed by unzipping
