Not a boating person (gets very sea sick) Assisted Kevin Garcia when I joined in Learned over many years Hansa recommended. It is recommended that the boat is covered when not in use to prevent UV and other weather damage. A specially designed cover is available from Access Dinghy Sailing Systems for this purpose. If sails are to be left furled on the boat when not in use it is recommended that these are covered using a protective sail sock to prevent UV and other weather damage. These are available Access Dinghy Sailing Systems. Do not let water remain in the boat when not in use. This can accelerate the deterioration of running rigging, finishes and electrics where applicable. Winter Storage: Remove electrics, remove sails and fully cover the boat. The Dinghies 303, 2.3, Liberty Designed by Chris Mitchell. He has made it fairly easy. 303 wide is most popular Seats 2 persons 160kg Maximum Additional load 20kg. Weight is 62kg Keel is 30+kg We have a boat rigged for full servo. Furling mainsail and jib. Can be safely sailed in 30kt winds. Maintenance etc. We have volunteers who enjoy doing maintenance. We can do 99% of our own repairs and maintenance. Most parts are easily and cheaply obtained from a hardware shop. Some parts are wearing parts and should be obtained from Hansa Some parts are specialist and can be obtained from Hansa. Lets start from the bow THE FURLING JIB The shaft and receptacle should be greased often. We use petroleum jelly. Reefing drum $62. Mast $212. The furling cord is 4mm and is easy to change if it gets frayed. Cord must line up with drum centre. Tie a small knot making sure that the rear pulley is approx.. 2 or 50mm from the saddle. Use 4mm shock for the attachment. Always unhook the furling cord when rigging or de-rigging. Drop of oil on the pulley. Check the tack tie down is OK and tight. Replace if frayed. You can reglue the glass beads. Next Bit THE GUNWHALE Sailability Bayside have found the best document for repairing or replacing the rubber Gunwale. It can be found at sailabilitygc.org/volunteer documents/ maintenance guides Main mast The furling mechanism requires lubrication. We use petroleum jelly. Some use silicone spray. Mr Sheen. The furling cord is 4mm and is easy to change if it gets frayed. Tie a small knot making sure that the rear pulley is approx.. 2 or 50mm from the saddle. Use 4mm shock for the attachment. Tension is important. We have made this attachment almost permanent. Drop of oil on the pulley. Check the tack tie down is OK and tight. Replace if frayed. Make the bobbin as high as possible. Main Mast Continued. Check the bobbin for wear. S/T (Wearing Part) $30 Check the mast base for wear. S/T (Wearing Part) $14 Show base wearing template. 38mm hole. Check the sail. We have an in house sailmaker to make our sails. We place numbers on them to match our dinghy numbers.

Available on our web site. sailabilitygc.org/ volunteer documents/ maintenance guides Maintenance We use CRC or WD40 or light machine oil on all of the pulleys. We use Petroleum jelly or Mr Sheen or equivalent on the plastic furling parts of the main and jib. We keep a large roll of 4mm cord for steering and furling replacement. Sail tie downs. We keep large amounts of 4mm and 6mm shock cord. We have a fibreglass repair kit. We have sail repair tape. Modifications We have altered all of the rudders to be held in place by 6mm shock cord. We fit all new boats with a rear drain plugs. We fit all boats with Tow ropes. We use Wheelie bin adhesive numbers to number our dinghies. Buy from the cheap shop. We are still working on an effective keel tie down method other than the supplied aluminium rod. Modifications Tow Rope Old Trolleys NewTrolleys Storage Equipment Shades. Any Questions?
