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 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.

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.

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.

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

minunum.

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

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.

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.

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.

Rigging___________________

Standing

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

Maintenance

Rigging checks

During the sailing season when your yacht is in commission, regular maintenance checks should be carried out and particularly before a long voyage.

1 Examine all

steel/wire

ropes for corrosion, wear and damage.

2 Examine all terminations for signs of wear, cracks or damage. Pay particular

attention to all split pins, they should be the largest size possible to pass through the cotter pinhole with at least 3/4" protruding through the hole.

3 Examine all bottle screws for signs of wear or damage and ensure they are

screws are covered with tape or plastic tubing, remove to enable examination.

4 Ensure the ends of the spreader bar are protected to prevent sail

chafing.Ensure

the rig is correctly adjusted.

5 Remove halyards from the mast leaving messenger lines for

rereefmg.

6 Check all running rigging for signs of wear, paying particular attention to all eye

splices and end terminations. On the wire/rope halyards check the wire rope splice. If the rope side of the splice is starting to swell then the wire has started to rust and the halyard should be replaced. Wash halyards which are not being replaced and soak rope joins in linseed oil (also soak joins on new halyards).

7 Check over the standing rigging paying particular attention to the wire where it

enters the swage fittings. Should there be any sign at all of cracking in any one of the wire strands then replace the shroud concerned.

8 Look for signs of wear of ridging on clevis pins where they may rock or work in

chain plates or shroud tangs, also look for corresponding wear on mating fittings.

9 Where shrouds locate into mast by means of a shroud terminal in a slot, ensure

that there is no undue wear.

Renew all split pins for recommissioning.

Roller furling gear must be lubricated and cleaned regularly in accordance with the manufacturers

recommendations..

Sails___________________________________________

Sails should be checked regularly and repairs effected for the following:

1 Chaffing occurring mainly at spreaders and on foot of large sails.

2 Tears at batten pockets and at all attachment points, tack, clew, head, sail and

reefing cringles. 3 Any other damage. 4 When a sail is lowered it should be bagged and stowed below as soon as possible. 5 On return to harbour, release the tension on the clew outhaul of the main,

remove batterns, flake the sail over the boom, secure with ties and put on sail

cover.

6 Furling headsails and mainsails should be checked carefully

Ropes____________________________________________

All ropes should be checked regularly during the season for the following: 1 Signs of wear or damage where constantly cleated, clamped or passed round

sheave blocks or through fairleads. 2 Damage to whipping or heat shrink sleeves. 3 All splices are serviceable. It is important where polyester ropes are spliced to

steel wire ropes, such as halyards.

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.

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.

Secure the sail to the boom using sail ties.

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.

If the sail is to remain folded for more than a few hours, put the sail cover on to

prevent damage.

Issue 3 Page 2.7

Headsails

Some yachts are fitted with furling headsails but if not, the headsail must be removed and bagged when not in use.

Bagging

1 Put the head of the sail into the sailbag. 2 Work the luff, leech and body of the sail in together. 3 Leave the tack and clew until last and pass the sailbag neck cord through both

tack and clew before drawing tight. This enables the tack to be connected to the stemhead and the sheets to be fitted to the clew before the sail is released from the sailbag. The sheets can then be run back and secured without being snatched by the sail. The sail can also be hanked to the forestay, one hank at a time, until only the head is left to be attached to the halyard. In adverse conditions sails bagged in this way can save a great deal of time on the foredeck.

Folding

1 Lay the headsail out flat in a convenient position, a pontoon or jetty is ideal.

2 The sail should then be folded following the steps illustrated.

Setting sails

No yacht included to assist in setting sails correctly.

Hoisting

Whilst this is a very straight forward procedure in itself, the amount of tension in the halyard depends on wind conditions. All modern sails respond well to differing tensions. Hoist the sail fully ensuring that on a mainsail there are no wrinkles in the

luff and also that on a between the hanks. Creases in a sail are the first sign of incorrect tension and depending on their position on the sail, indicate whether there is too much or too little tension in the halyard.

Sheeting and trimming

The basic rule of sail sheeting is "let it out till it flaps, Trimming and sheeting are best explained in books specifically written for the

purpose. It is recommended that every yacht's library has one.

Kicker

This controls the amount of twist in the mainsail and also ensures that the boom does not strap, the only exception being when the mainsail is sheeted in hard. The easiest way to tension the lacking strap to the optimum position is by using the top batten as a guide. This should be parallel to the boom. If it lies to leeward, tighten the kicking strap and if it lies to windward loosen it.
