Important instructions
Important:
- Check compatibility with your mast system before installation.
- The anodized surface offers additional protection, but should not be treated with abrasive cleaning agents.
- Regular inspection and maintenance significantly extend the service life.
- When using saltwater, we recommend rinsing with fresh water after each use.
- Store the Göhlrutscher in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
- Replace damaged or heavily worn sliders immediately to avoid damage to the sail.
- Check that all gondolas are securely fastened before each trip.
- In case of heavy use (regatta, strong winds), more frequent checks are recommended.
- Aluminum sliders are lighter than stainless steel versions and therefore particularly suitable for weight-sensitive applications.
Advantages of aluminum goose slides
Aluminum sliders offer several advantages over other materials: They are significantly lighter than stainless steel versions, a feature particularly appreciated by regatta sailors. The anodized surface protects the material from corrosion and gives the sliders an attractive, matte finish. Furthermore, aluminum is a very low-maintenance material that, with proper care, will function reliably for many years.
