MAINTENANCE Cleaning: After every training session, the boat must be washed to remove all traces of dirt, grease or oil, using a soft cloth dampened with water and soap. Maintenance should also be performed on the oarlocks, riggers, wheels and sliding parts, rails and footplates according to the technical specifications for each specific item. After every washing, rinse the outside and inside of the boat thoroughly, also opening the vents in the fore and after peaks to make sure that all condensation has evaporated. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners. Remember to close all peaks before...

BOAT TRANSPORT For transporting the boat by hand, the suggestion is to lift the boat at the height of the gunwales, ensuring that all carriers have been properly trained. For transport on the trailer, the riggers must first be removed, wrapped in bubble wrap or placed in their bags (optional) and loaded properly so as not to be damaged during the trip. Close all hatches fore and aft bulkheads and secure the sliding seats with straps. Place the boat gunwales on an adequate number of supports, ensuring that the boat is resting on them properly (if required, use shaped foam supports at least...

SECTIONAL BOATS Assembly: - Place the boat on trestles making sure that hull is well-supported close to the sections to be assembled. - Check that the boat is correctly aligned and that the bulkheads are facing in the right directions. - Start by tightening the upper bolts loosely. - Tighten the bolts of the keel until the surfaces of the bulkheads are sealed. - Then tighten all the bolts moving in a crosswise direction. - When finished, check the tightness of the bolts without leaving any imperfectly fitted areas between the two half-shells. Follow the procedure in reverse to dismantle the...

SEATS (SINGLE ACTION / DOUBLE ACTION) AND RAILS Seats with both single and double-action wheels (standard) can be removed by bringing them all the way to the end of the tracks and forcing lightly by hand where indicated by the arrows, alternating the right side with the left until they come away from the guides. To mount it, lay the seat on the rails and force it until it slides in. Fig.1 Seat at the end of the guides: to remove, push in the direction of the red arrows. To make the seat higher you can request an adjustable seat (see technical specifications page) or a seat with a “U” shaped...

The rails can be adjusted by adjusting the wing nuts (2 for each guide) that are on the underside of the deck; it can be accessed after removing the hatch on the deck. Check that the wheels of the seat slide to the centre of the guide, otherwise centre the guide. Fig.3 Access to the deck to calibrate the rails. Maintenance: Always check the proper anchoring of the guides and the glide action. Periodically remove the seat and check the state of the wheels (subject to wear) and rails. Clean and lubricate parts daily using small quantities of mineral oil to remove any foreign matter that may...

SEAT WITH ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT With this chassis (optional) you can adjust the height (to 7mm, 14mm or 21mm) and the inclination of the seat (0° to 5°). Figure No. 1 shows the new chassis in the standard position, ie height and angle at zero while Figure No. 3 shows a possible configuration. Fig. 1 – Chassis in standard position. Instructions for adjusting the seat 1. Loosen, without completely unscrewing, the two screws marked with the letter 'A' (See fig. 1) on either side of the chassis 2. Move the seat and the frame in the direction of the yellow arrows until you reach the limit shown in...

Fig. 3 – Configuration: Height +14 mm. Angle 5 deg. Fig. 4 – Correct (left) and incorrect (right) positions. Maintenance: Always check the proper anchoring of the rails and the slide action. Periodically remove the seat and check the state of the wheels (subject to wear) and rails. Clean and lubricate parts daily using small quantities of mineral oil to remove any foreign matter that may block the motion of the seat and damage the wheels. Replace all the wheels annually: partial replacement can cause damage to the undercarriage. When necessary you can replace the seat cover or wheels by...

STRETCHER The stretcher can be moved closer to or further from the seat with the two nuts/screws or quick-release couplings (A) at the ends of the cross bar and wing nuts (B). Before definitively tightening the stretcher make sure it is positioned correctly by checking the equality of the left and right moving parts or in the case of the skiff, counting the free holes on both sides of the boat. To adjust the height of the stretcher (distance: heel - average height of the seat) it is necessary to adjust the footplate for the shoes, fastened with 3 bolts (10mm) to the stretcher itself (C)....

In the case of the steering stretcher (4-,4X, 2-), for more or less smooth rudder control, tighten with more or less force the bolt connecting the two parts of the revolving stretcher itself (10mm). ● Since the bolt can become loose with use, its tightness should be frequently checked! To adjust the control cable it is necessary to put the rudder in line with the fin (zero degrees of inclination) and keep it fastened. Then, after loosening the front screw, working on both the left and right cable, you can adjust the length of the cable. Making sure that the rudder indicator corresponds to...
