INTERIOR:
The interior of your Seawind 1000XL2 is a blend of timber with modern lightweight
materials and fabrics. General household cleaners and detergents can be used
throughout.
Timberwork - The interior timberwork is coated with two-pack polyurethane 60%
sheen to give a tough, sheen gloss surface. The only maintenance required is a
regular wipe down with a damp cloth. The occasional use of a good furniture polish
will also help to keep the timber looking its best.
Benchtops - The benchtops are made from scratch resistant Laminex. These can
be cleaned by non abrasive household cleaners.
Galley cupboard doors - These are made from acrylic and are transparent. Any
solvents or harsh detergents must not be used, as they will permanently mark the
doors.
Fabrics - The fabrics in your Seawind 1000 vary from boat to boat. When cleaning
these materials, general household fabric cleaners should be used. It is advisable to
first try any new cleaner on a small patch of material that will not be noticed should
the cleaner mark the fabric.
MAST, BOOM AND RIGGING:
General
The rig on your Seawind 1000XL2 is designed to be efficient and easily handled by
one person. It features a roller furling headsail and single line slab reef mainsail
with lazy jacks and boom cover.
All Yacht Spars manufactured the mast using their own extrusion that has been
anodized. It is a single spreader nested diamond rig arrangement that is stepped
on a hinged mast base allowing the mast to be lowered on the boat. Each mast is
fitted with one 2:1 (53m) main halyard 8mm and (31m) jib halyard made from 10mm
Spectra, one (33m) spinnaker halyard made from 10mm Double Braid rope and a
8mm (35m) double braid topping lift.
The mainsail features full-length fiberglass battens with adjustable end caps and
optional roller bearing batten cars.
The standing rigging consists of a forestay and side stays - both 3/8 (10mm) 1 x 19
wire, and diamonds - 5/16 (8mm) 1 x 19 wire. When your boat was first launched
the mast was stepped and the rig was adjusted to the correct tension. During the
first month or so of sailing however the wire rigging will stretch a small amount. This
is quite normal and any slack can be taken out by simply tightening up the
turnbuckles (ensure tension is balanced).
Rig Tension
The rigging must be examined a month or so after the initial launch. After this
period of sailing, the wires will have stretched & will require re-tensioning & tuning.
After this initial “bedding down” period, the mast wires should not change too much
and examination on a six monthly basis should be sufficient.
