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. These materials -have been chosen because
synthetic fibre is not as subject to mould or mildew caused by a marine environment. Dyes used
in the material have been selected so as to be as colourfast and sun-resistant as possible, but
extreme exposure to direct sunlight or water may cause discolouration.
The upholstered cushions and seat backs are fitted over foam with zippers on the back face to
simplify removal for cleaning.
The upholstery must not be machine washed but should be dry cleaned. Check with your dry
cleaner when you take the covers in, so that the proper cleaning process is used.
If the yacht is to be left for some time unused, it is advisable to stand the cushions on end so
that air can circulate around them. Also clean out lockers of any damp clothing and leave locker
doors open.
Refer to section 16, item 16.4, Winterizing Procedures in the manual for suggested care of the
upholstery during winter lay-up.

At least one Type B.C. 2 1/2 lb. extinguisher should be carried on every yacht. Depending upon
the size of the yacht, many owners carry two or three extinguishers mounted in the yacht in
various easily accessible locations. These extinguishers should be U.L.C. approved and carry a
certified inspection and testing date.
