CARREENING
Surface covered with antifouling paint : 18.5 m
2
- (These measurements are for 'light boat')
The lower hull of your boat should be covered with an anti-fouling paint which will prevent the
adhesion of marine growth.
The nature of the water in which the boat sails will determine the choice of the anti-fouling paint as well
as the frequency of hull stripping and painting. Do not hesitate to take advice from your specialists.
Refer to chapter
9 for launching instructions.
Before applying anti-fouling paint never:
- Do any sanding down.
- Use any other solvants than ethylic alcohol.
- Use detergents under pressure.
- Use scrapers.
- Do any sanding other than a light rubbing down by hand with a grade 400 wet abrasive paper (for
the first application).
If cleaning of the anti-fouling paint has to be done with a high pressure hose:
- The water temperature must not exceed 15 °C.
- The water pressure must not exceed 150 bars.
- The distance between the hose nozzle and the hull must not be less than 10 centimetres.
Follow the supplier's instructions very closely when applying the anti-fouling paint.
All these hull maintenance operations can be carried out by your dealer.
PRECAUTION
- Consult the harbourmaster's office to find out the conditions of use for water and air facilities for
cleaning your vessel.
- It is necessary to seek the advice of your concessionnaire with regard to gel-coat repairs.
PRECAUTION
- When applying the anti-fouling paint do not paint over the electronic instrument sensors nor the
anodes.
PIECE OF ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- When in dry dock check the anodes on the engine housings.
