Hull,
deck gear & below decks
Hull
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is used throughout the construction of the hull and
decks. Hull stiffening is achieved using balsa or foam
stiffeners
moulded to the
inside of the hull and by the fitting of bulkheads. Each bulkhead is bonded in
position using
GRP
and then further secured with bolts through the
GRP
bonding.
An inner GRP floor also adds to the strength and stability of the hull. Extra
strengthening is also applied to the keel attachment area in order to withstand the
loads imposed on the keel. Deck areas are surfaced with an integrally moulded non
slip finish.
Keels
The following keel options are
available:-

Seacocks________________________________________
Seacocks are fitted to all inlets and outlets which penetrate the hull below the
waterline. The hull area around the penetration point is reinforced with an internal
plywood backing plate which is resin coated and bedded on compound. With the
exception of the engine cooling system inlet, all current Moody yachts are fitted
with a ball valve combined with a skin fitting.
Water inlet seacock and strainer
This type of seacock is fitted to the engine
cooling system inlet and it is operated as
follows:
1 To open - turn the knob anticlockwise
2 To close - turn the knob clockwise
Skin
fittingi'seacock
This type of seacock is used for sink,
shower and cockpit drains and marine
toilet
inlet and outlets. It is operated as
follows:
1 To open - turn the lever to align with
the inlet/outlet hose.
2 To close - turn the lever until it is at
right angles to the inlet/outlet hose.

Cathodic protection
All yachts are fitted with hull mounted sacrificial anodes as these give the best
results. These are usually mounted
in
the region of the engine compartment
to
keep
the bonding cable run to a minimum.
Attachment
This is achieved by using studs permanently fixed to the inside of the hull to which
the anode is secured using nuts and locking washers.
Bonding
Bonding cables are internally attached to the mounting studs. The anode is bonded
to the engine, stern tube, rudder stock and
T'
bracket. There is no requirement for
the more remote skin fittings and seacocks or the keel mounting bolts to be
protected.

Using the windlass
It is recommended that your anchor chain is suitably marked to indicate the
amount of chain you have out while at anchor.
When lying at anchor in a heavy swell the chain will snatch either causing chain slip
or excessive loads to be applied to the windlass. For safety it is recommended that
a rope bridle be applied to transfer the load to a cleat.
Below decks
Upholstery_______________________________________
Your yacht has been upholstered with either the Christiana, Ravenna, Dash or
Onyx range of materials. They all meet the Fire and Safety Regulation Act and
have been tested to BS5852
PTL
For information on care of your upholstery refer
to the maintenance section.
Issue 3
Page 1.7
Maintenance
Hull
Minor scratches and abrasions should be attended to in their early stages, initially
by using a medium grade rubbing compound. If this is ineffective, rub the area
lightly with 400 grade wet and dry paper (used with water) until the mark
disappears. Smooth the area with 800 grade followed by 1200 grade (both wet) and
then apply a silicone free wax polish.
Stress cracks should be looked at by an expert and some remedial action taken.
f Rubbing with abrasive compounds and materials removes the
gelcoat.
As this is only a thin
* layer, great care should be taken.
Annual cleaning
Wash the hull annually with warm water containing a little detergent. Stubborn
stains and polish should be removed with a recommended release agent or oil
removing fluid. Polish the hull with a silicone free wax polish.
Seacocks________________________________________
Check regularly:
1 Security of attachment
2 Security and condition of hose and hose clips
3 Free operation of the valve
Sacrificial
anodes____________________________________
The anode should be replaced when it is approximately two thirds eroded. If any
doubt exists as to whether the anode will survive the season - change it! The core
of the anode is a galvanised steel strip which provides the attachment lugs for the
anode. The anode is removed by undoing the two securing nuts and washers. It is
recommended that when replacing the anode, the nuts, washers and backing sheet
are also replaced.
Page 1.8 Issue 3
Antifouling______________________________________
Antifouling
should be checked on a regular basis and replaced at least once a
season.

antifouling

on

_____________________
Upholstery_________________________________________
Cleaning
Dust and grit should be removed frequently with a soft brush or the upholstery
attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
Creases
Where creases occur, raise the pile by brushing with a clean, damp cloth. Do not
saturate the fabric as the cotton backing may shrink. When dry, brush in the
direction of the pile with a soft brush.
Stains
Take immediate action, the longer stains are left the more difficult it is to remove
them. Nearly all stains can be removed by sponging lightly with warm water or a dry
foam upholstery shampoo. If this is not effective, covers can be removed and dry
cleaned. If heavily stained it is recommended that a reputable upholstery cleaner
is called in.
Ventilators______________________________________
Ensure that there is no entry of water through the deck seal. Reseal if necessary.

Sails, spars & rigging
Spars
and
rig___________________________
Your yacht is fitted with a Kemp aluminium mast and boom which, given good
support, proper handling and caring routine mainenance, should be remarkably
durable. Information on stepping the mast
can
be gained from the Kemp handbook
supplied with the yacht.
Rigging______________________________
Standing
rigging_____________________________________
The standing rigging is the only support provided for the mast and it is vital that it
is adjusted and maintained correctly. In a seaway, if the rig is too slack, the mast
head or spreader area can build up movement thereby increasing the shock loading
on the stays. On the other hand, overtensioned rigging puts a higher total load on
the stays and can be just as damaging. The entire standing rigging is stainless steel
including all terminals, toggles, bottle screws and wire ropes. Some yachts are fitted
with a furling
headsail
system and an
in-mast
furling mainsail system. For further
information refer to
'Hints
and advice on rigging and tuning your Kemp
Mast',
supplied with the yacht.
Rigging adjustment
Stainless steel rigging stretches and should therefore be regularly checked and
adjusted, particularly during the first season. It is recommended that reference be
made to the instructions given in
'Hints
and advice on rigging and tuning your Kemp
Mast'
supplied with the yacht.

Running rigging
The running rigging comprises all the lines and relative mechanics used to hoist and
control the sails, this includes halyards, sheets, guys, lifts, downhauls and outhauls
together with their various shackles, blocks, cleats and winches. It is essential that
they are inspected regularly for any signs of wear or stress. Information on types of
cordage, wire ropes and fittings can be gained from a good chandler.
Sails
All yachts are supplied with Lucas sails which are manufactured from woven
dacron. This material has good tensile strength, resists abrasion and is not unduly
affected by moisture, however, it can be damaged by ultra-violet light and should
not therefore be exposed unnecessarily to sunlight. If treated with care and
maintained correctly these sails should give many seasons good service.

Folding
Sails_____________________________________
Mainsail
If your yacht does not have a self-furling mainsail system, one of the easiest methods
of folding is with the sail still on the boom:
1 Tighten topping lift to support boom.
2 Lower the sail fully.
3 Ensure the coachroof hatches are closed.
4 Ease the tension in the foot of the sail by releasing the clew outhaul.
5 Remove the battens to minimise stretch and chafing in the batten pockets.
6 Stand close to the mast on the opposite side of the pile of mainsail.
7 With an assistant at the leech, take hold of the sail about eighteen inches from
the boom , pull up together and lay the sail halfway over the boom. The bottom
of the hanging fold should be just below the bottom of the boom.
8 Take a further foot of sail and fold back over the boom in the opposite direction.
9 Continue this layering action until the entire sail is laid over the boom.
1 o Secure the sail to the boom using sail ties.
11
The halyard can either be removed and stowed or left attached to the head of
the sail. If left on the sail, secure to the boom by passing a sail tie through the
head of the sail and then tension the halyard.
12
If the sail is to remain folded for more than a few hours, put the sail cover on to
prevent damage.
