As our environment is changing, it hag become increasingly important
to protect meta! surfaces exposed to the atmosphere. We recommend
cleaning stainless steel and aluminuI n with a metal polish (i.e.. nonParticular
abrasive) and coating with wax thre:e (3) times per year.
attention should be given to welded connections.
BELOW THE WATER LINE
With the exception of small crat't that are removed from the water after
each use, all vessels require same form of bottom protection to avoid the
accumulation of bottom growth,
The class ruIes also require bottom
paint, This usually needs to be done on a yearly basis, Although fresh
water areas do not generate as much fouling as occurs in saft water, it
nevertheless will cause growth of moss, grass, and other flora that will
significantly affect the performance of the yacht,
CA U T ION:
Always wear the appropriate protective equipment when
cleaning,
sanding,
painting,
etc.
Always
heed manufacturers
recommendations, failure to do so may result in injury or illness.
5.4.1 BOTTOM CLEANING
(
Cleaning the accumulated growth from a boat bottom is far easier
when the growth is wet than after it has been allowed to dry out.
While still wet. a power spray and stiff brush will remove most bottom
growth. Barnacles that resist this action can be removed with a
scraper.
BQTTOM
PREPARATION
Most bottom paints require removal of all loose material from the
bottom, and a thorough hut light sanding of any portions of the old
paint that remains in good condition.
A proper sanding procedure will
normally take off approximately the same amount of old paint as it's
intended to be reapplied.
This avoids excessive paint accumulation
that will eventually cause peeling and roughness on the bottom.
5.4.3 BOTTOM
The actual formula of the bottom paint that should be applied iso to a
great extent, determined by the general area in which the yacht is
expected to operate (fresh or galt water, temperate or tropical areas,
etc.).
Local advice from reputable yards is helpful. Application of
bottom
paint
should
always
conform
to the manufacturer's
instructions if maximum effect is to be achieved. Some bottom paints
recommend thinning, others do not.
Some specify that the boat be
returned to the water before the paint hag completely dried out
(usually 3 or 4 darg) and others make no qualifications in this area,
hut may have other requirements.
(

,
PAINTING
(
CA U TI 0 N:
Some bottom paint formulas are not compatible with others
and cannot be applied directly over Olle another without proper
preparation. The owner should keep arecord of the type bottom paint
that is in use to avoid any problems in this area.
5.5
HARDWARE
Deck hardware can easily be maintained by thoroughly flushing with
freshwater.
This is true for both fresh and saltwater environments.
Suspended silt in freshwater and satt in seawater will reduce the
performance of hearings, blocks stoppers, etc.
Winches should be
maintained in accordance with the winch manufacturers procedurcs.
Loose deck hardware should always be stored below to prevent UV
degredation and theft.
,
.
HAUL OUT PROCEDURE

Store the coils in a dry place. Wash and wax all
