The deck and cockpit is a single-unit fibreglass moulding surfaced with gelcoat. The deck and horizontal section is moulded in a sandwich of endgrain balsa to give additional stiffness. A non-skid finish is moulded into the working areas of the deck. 5.4 STEERING AND RUDDER The yacht is fitted with pedestal steering and wheel, a radial driver turned by the wheel through a cable system, clamped to the rudder post and through bolted. See manufacturer's maintenance instructions and Sections 13.
and intermediate shrouds are led over spreaders. The upper spreaders lead the shrouds out from the mast and provide a deflection of approximately 12°, which is considered ideal. However, the shrouds impart a side load, acting horizontally along the spreader. The intermediates take some of this load off the mast at the upper spreader, while the lower shrouds do the same at the lower spreader.
The mast should now be checked for rake. Rake is the angle, either forward or aft, from vertical. Forward rake is to be avoided. In calm conditions, if possible, hang a weight on the main halyard shackle and suspend it just above the deck. The distance from the aft face of the mast to the halyard represents the amount of rake and should be approximately 8"-10". Rake is adjusted by moving the masthead in the required direction by use of the turnbuckles on the backstay and forestay.
7.2 Transmission All necessary data and information about the transmission are fully detailed in the engine manual. To avoid damage to the gears and increase clutch life, the engine should always be at idle speed when shifting into forward or reverse gear. 7.3 Propellor Shaft The propellor shaft is supported at the inboard end by the shaft coupling and at the outboard end by a P-Bracket containing a bearing for 1" diameter shaft. It is retained in the P-Bracket by two socket type set screws.
7.6 STUFFING BOX The stuffing box is located at the inboard end of a fiberglass tube passing through the hull. The stuffing box should be inspected on a regular basis. The fiberglass tube and the stuffing box are connected by means of a flexible rubber held in place by hose clamps. If there is only a slight drip no adjustment should be made to avoid seizure.
any marine yard familiar with this type of work. 7.10 Removal of Propeller For both solid and folding propellers, a propeller puller is required which can be purchased at any marine dealer. Procedure for Removal of a Martec Folding Propeller (a) Remove all cotter pins from pivot bar for blades and shaft. Save cotter pins if possible. (b) Pull pivot bar from the blades. Some propellers are tapped for a bolt on one end of the pivot bar.
corrosion protection and should be checked for its strength before winter lay-up. 8. FUEL SYSTEM 8.1 Fuel Tank The fuel tank is filled via a deck filling plate marked "Fuel" on the starboard side alongside the cockpit. After filling ensure that the plate is screwed in firmly to prevent any water seepage into the fuel. The fuel withdrawal exits from the top of the tank on the centre line. A tank vent is installed with the pipe connected to a 90° vent elbow through the hull at the top of the transom.
The battery box is located near the engine under the chart table bench (quarter berth). The explosion-proof 4-position main battery switch is located at the starboard side of the companionway (OFF, ONE, BOTH, TWO). The switch activates the #1 and #2 battery or both batteries will operate in parallel. Do not turn this switch to "OFF" while the engine is running, since serious damage to the charging system could result.
disconnecting when unstepping the mast. Keep all connectors and junction as high as possible off the hull bottom, including electronic equipment, to prevent them from coming in contact with water. 10.4 Through Hull Fittings Consult your docking plan for proper location and position of other than standard through hull fittings if required after the completion of the yacht. (see detail No. 11) 11. CONTROLS 11.
(h) With folding propellers, excessive vibration may occur when the engine is put in forward gear. This is usually caused by one blade of the propeller not opening. When this occurs, slow down the engine, shift gear into reverse and accelerate engine. This usually opens the propeller. Slow the engine down to idle and shift into forward gear. (i) It is advisable to let the engine warm-up to full operating temperature (175O~19OO) before applying full engine power to avoid excessive engine corrosion.
13. MAINTENANCE Yachts in good and safe condition need frequent maintenance on a regular basis. Such frequency depends on type and condition of use. The running and standing rigging, engine, winches, lights, head, bilge and surface finishes should be checked on a regular basis. When sailing in salt water all deck hardware should be washed down with fresh water after each sail and the yacht should be hosed down at least once a week in salt-water locations. 13.
(b) Use masking tape to tape around the area to be patched so gelcoat will contact only the area to be repaired. (c) The catalyst to be used with the gelcoat should be a Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide 60% active oxidizing agent. This material can be obtained from most marine hardware stores. Caution should be exercised with the material as it is highly toxic and flammable. (d) On a piece of cardboard or arborite, add an appropriate amount of gelcoat.
The neoprene seals on the hatches may need to be replaced after prolonged use and exposure. 13.4 Teak Exterior teak on your CS yacht has been reduced to a minimum for obvious maintenance reasons. Only your companionway hatch and the optional cockpit table is solid teak. Teak exposed to the elements will develop a dull grey appearance if not frequently oiled with marine teak oil. To bring back its original lustre, first wipe wood surfaces clean of dirt and salt with a damp cloth.
Check that all pulpits and stanchions are free of cracks, dents and are properly secured to the deck. 13.7 Winches, blocks and Handles Periodic maintenance of winches is recommended to insure the proper operation. Most problems with winches occur due to poor and improper maintenance. Winches should be flushed with fresh water after use in a salt water environment. Chrome and stainless drums should be polished with a good chrome cleaner.
13.9 Running Rigging Running rigging defines all the gear that is used in handling and trimming of sails, such as sheets, halyards , guys and vangs. Main and genoa halyards are stainless steel wire and are subject to heavy loads and constant flexing as they pass over sheaves at the head of the mast and turning sheeves or turning blocks at the foot of the mast.
13.11 Engine The engine manuals of your yacht cover the maintenance of your engine and should be read carefully. IMPORTANT NOTE: Once the engine is started, it may take several minutes in cold water until it reaches full operating temperature (175°~190°) and should not be put under load to prevent corrosion. Before changing the oil, operate the engine until it reaches operating temperature (175 -190 ). Shut down engine and remove the oil from the crank case by means of a crank case pump which is supplied.
dipped in a solution of diluted ammonia or a couple of ounces of baking soda dissolved in a quart of water. Scrub until all bubbling stops. Flush battery with clean water, dry and replace into the boat. REMEMBER: Clean, dry and tight are the three most important factor. in battery and electrical connection maintenance. 13.14 Upholstery The upholstery from the standard CS Yachts selection is material of synthetic fibres, either 100% nylon or a combination of nylon and rayon.
yachts, since they are the most effective fire extinguishers for any type of fire, 14.2 Life Jackets One life jacket or personal flotation device for each member of the crew must be carried. They should be approved by the Department of Transport in Canada and by the United States Coast Guard in the US 14.3 Life Buoys Most yachts carry life buoys of the horseshoe/pony ring type which can be easily stowed in a bracket on the stern pulpit or adjacent to the helmsman.
should also be available . Sailboats cannot be picked up well on radar, thus the radar reflector is a must for bad weather. These should be purchased commercially and stored carefully to prevent damage since the accuracy of the angles on the reflector are most important. 14.10 Anchor The type of anchor carried will vary from region to region according to bottom conditions.
(c) Open the raw water intake sea cock for the engine cooling water (d) Start engine. After engine has reached operating temperature, shut down and change oil if necessary (e) Check propeller shaft alignment 15.3 Stepping The Mast CAUTION: Ensure that there is no possibility of contact with overhead electric power wiring, telephone lines or other obstructions when lifting and stepping the spar, as damage or fatal injury may result.
the mast. Make a 1/2" diameter tie-down line from the sling to the lower end of the spar, ensure there is no interference with release of the standing rigging once the mast is stepped. Ensure that the weight of the spar is not carried by the spreaders or other mast hardware a lot when the mast is raised to a vertical position. The sling and the tie-down string should carry the mast.
16. WINTER LAY-UP AND STORAGE 16.1 Unstepping the Mast Before removing the spar for winter storage, make a diagram of the location of the running rigging and the connections of the electrical wiring to serve as a guide when the mast is restepped. Mark the turnbuckle screws with nail polish or black electrical tape to facilitate retuning of the spar.
drain holes in the bottom of the sleeve so that any water formed by condensation will run out. If the plastic covering over the spar is exposed to sunlight and water is allowed to collect inside, discoloration of the spar may occur. DO NOT USE MASKING OR FILAMENT TAPE ON SPAR. . (l) coil and bag all internal lines of the boom (m) be sure that-mast/deck opening is well sealed using a cover and the hose clamp removed in (c) (n) be sure that mast is well supported along entire length.
the rig in place, will not be entertained as a valid warranty claim. 16.4 Winterizing Procedure (a) Scrub down the bottom to remove any marine growth and grease. Wash down deck and topsides. (b) All gear that may be damaged by cold or dampness such as clothing, life jackets, books, etc. should be removed from the yacht and placed in a warm, dry storage area. NOTE: Be sure all sails, boom cover, sail sock, etc. are dry before folding carefully and storing at home.
(b) The pump-out deck plate is in the anchor well bottom and the vent on the stem head. It is good practice to flush out the tank with fresh water at every pumpout. (c) Pump holding tank dry, flush thoroughly and pump dry again. When flushing out, a deodorizing cleaner should be added before pumping out. (d) When tank has been pumped dry add 2-4 quarts of ethylene glycol antifreeze to the toilet and pump through the system and into the tank.
(g) Open the inspection ports in the water tanks and clean out and dry the tanks. Place some baking soda in an open glass container and place in the tank for the winter. Close the inspection ports once the tanks are cleaned. (h) When the entire system is drained the bilges should be pumped dry and sponged clean. It is recommended to pour a pint of antifreeze into the bilge to prevent any water due to condensation from freezing.
Blocks and loose gear should be removed and stored in a dry place. Winches and permanently fixed hardware should be lubricated as suggested by the manufacturer and covered when exposed to ice and snow. Sheets and running rigging should also be stored in a dry location. Remove lifelines and label; store in bags Deflate fenders and store at home. If shrouds are left untied to the mast, remove all turnbuckles, etc. and protect spar with pieces of carpet where shrouds contact to prevent marking the spar.
