MAINTENANCE
The materials used to build your boat were selected for their high quality
and performances. Nevertheless they require a minimum maintenance to be
protected against the onslaught of the surrounding environment (salt, sun,
chafi ng, etc.).
To keep her best look, besides her rinsing with fresh water after each trip, you
shall polish and shine the gel-coat periodically with cleaning products you will
buy at your dealer’s.
For possible stubborn stains or scratches, please contact your dealer; he will
be delighted to give you the proper advice.
A periodical careening of your boat will keep her original performances and
avoid any adhesion of marine vegetation.
The type of the water where you boat sails determines how to choose the
antifouling paint as well as how often to carry out these careenings.
Please contact a professional for advice.
