PROPER SAIL CARE •Always protect sails from unnecessary exposure to sunlight and heat.•Avoid prolonged luffing and flogging (motor with your sails down, unless the sails can be filled) .•Protect from chafe. Make sure spreader patches are located properly.•Use specialized sails in their designed wind range. If you have a question on wind range consult with any Quantum loft.•Never back a genoa against a spreader.•Avoid over-tensioning the halyard (too much tension creates a gutter or trough along the leading edge of the sail). Remember to ease the halyardwhen the apparent wind velocity drops.•Flake or roll sails (do not stuff) whenever possible for storage.•Store sails dry.•Periodically rinse with fresh water. Annual professional washing is recommended.•Avoid harsh detergents, solvents, and strong chemicals.•Be sure that roller-furling sails are well secured when leaving the boat. Cleat the furling line, take an extra turn of the sheets around the sail, and secure both sheets.
