Safety Information

Safety Instructions for Sailboat Covers
Safe Usage Guidelines
Proper Fit and Securing

Ensure the cover is properly fitted to the element it is designed to protect (e.g., mast, boom, rudder, hull). Improper fitting may damage the protected equipment or the cover.
Before transport or storage, securely fasten all closures (e.g., zippers, straps, Velcro) to ensure the cover stays firmly in place.
Intended Use

Use the cover exclusively to protect designated sailboat parts.
Do not use it as a protective cover in other situations, such as shielding sharp or heavy objects that could damage the material.
During transport, make sure the cover does not rub against sharp edges, which could cause damage.
Regular Inspection Before Use
Checking Technical Condition
Material: Inspect for abrasions, holes, tears, or mechanical damage.
Zippers and Fasteners: Ensure zippers move smoothly, and straps and buckles are in good condition.
Interior of the Cover: Check for sharp objects or dirt inside that could scratch or damage the protected item.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Cover

After use, especially in marine environments, rinse the cover with clean water to remove salt, sand, and other contaminants that may weaken the material.
Use mild detergents if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the fabric or protective coating.
Drying and Storage

Always thoroughly dry the cover before storage to prevent mold growth and material deterioration.
Store the cover in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct UV exposure and heat sources.
Emergency Situations
Cover Damage
If you notice damage to the material or fasteners, do not use the cover if it can no longer effectively protect the sailboat component. Consider repairing it at a specialized service or replacing it with a new one.
If the cover has sustained significant damage during transport or storage, inspect the protected component for any damage.
Contact in Case of Issues
If a manufacturing defect or permanent damage to the cover is observed, contact the manufacturer or retailer.
Avoid making unauthorized repairs that could compromise the cover’s protective effectiveness.
