Product catalog summary
Maintenance
Regular cleaning is essential after each training session to remove dirt, grease, or oil using a soft cloth with water and soap. Maintenance should also be performed on oarlocks, riggers, wheels, sliding parts, rails, and footplates. Rinse thoroughly and ensure all condensation has evaporated by opening vents. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ensure all peaks are closed before use. For storage, place the boat upside down on suitable supports and avoid heat sources or solvents. Use clean materials for covering and leave peaks open.
Boat Transport
When transporting by hand, lift at the gunwales. For trailer transport, remove riggers, secure sliding seats, and use adequate supports. Fasten the boat with flat straps and use protective guards. Indicate extra length as per road rules.
Sectional Boats
Assembly involves placing the boat on trestles, aligning bulkheads, and tightening bolts in a crosswise direction. Maintenance includes greasing contact surfaces with petroleum jelly or marine grease. Tools required include a 13mm spanner and a no. 5 Allen key.
Seats and Rails
Seats can be removed by sliding them off the tracks. Maintenance involves checking anchoring, cleaning, and lubricating parts. Replace wheels annually. Adjustable seats allow height and inclination adjustments. Tools required include a no. 4 Allen key and a Phillips screwdriver.
Stretcher
The stretcher can be adjusted for position and height. Maintenance includes cleaning components and greasing threads. Tools required include an 8mm spanner, 2x10mm spanner, and a no. 5 Allen key.
Fin 1X - 2X
Removal involves placing the hull keel upwards and using a screwdriver to remove paint and set screws. Assembly is the reverse process. Maintenance includes cleaning and lubricating threads.
Fin 2-, 4, 8+
Removal involves loosening the nut on the rudder axis and removing the control lever. Maintenance includes cleaning and lubricating components.

Maintenance:
- Regular maintenance is crucial for boat efficiency. This includes removing riggers, the fifth tube, pin, oarlock, and washers for cleaning with a neutral degreaser. Remove salt and calcium deposits if necessary and lightly grease with petroleum jelly or lithium-based marine grease. Reassemble parts after cleaning. Perform maintenance monthly to ensure the validity of the guarantee.
Washers for Longitudinal Adjustment:
- Necessary for adjusting the longitudinal inclination of pins in various riggers. Install two washers on each oarlock, positioned in opposite directions. The prominence of washers should fit into the rigger opening, indicating the pin's inclination direction. For bow inclination, position washers with sockets towards the bow on the upper part and towards the stern on the lower part. The angle should not exceed 0.5°.

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 using...

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 as...

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 undercarriage...

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). The...

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 the...
