1.2 Take the boom, free its outhaul and
sheet, pull the outhaul block and traveling
ring as far forward as it will go, then
shackle the traveling ring onto the lowest
hole of the clew board, and shackle the
outhaul to the central hole of the clew
board. (fig 10)
1.3 Unroll the mainsail (about 5 turns) un-
til the rowlock at the front end of the
boom can be pushed onto the bobbin.
1.4 Then pull the sail out tight with the
outhaul. Cleat the outhaul on the boom.
(see fig 5—page 4)
1.5 Run the outhaul through the deck eye in the cowling just aft of the main mast, down
through the deadeye on the console just aft of the mast, then back to the black clam cleat
on the console port side. Pull on the outhaul, but cleat it at the white clam cleat on the
starboard side of the boom. (see fig 4—page 3)
1.6 Pass the boom vang through its block on the boom and back through its block on the
console just aft of the mast and cleat it at the furthest aft of the 3 black clamcleats on the
port side of the console. Do not over tension the boom vang, it is there to prevent the
boom skying when running downwind in fresh to strong winds, not to flatten the mainsail
when going to windward. (see fig 4– page 3
1.7 If the boat is to be sailed manually, and has a 3 part sheet fitted to the boom, use the
following procedure.
a) Unravel the sheet, clear any twists and shackle its block onto the traveler and rig as per
fig 2—page 3.
b) Pass the live end of the sheet through the deadeye and camcleat on the console and tie
a figure of eight knot in its end.
1.8 If the boat is to be sailed servo assist and has the sheet on its winch and a bare boom,
unravel the mainsheet which comes up through the console from the sheet winch then:
(as per figs. 3 & 4—page 3)
a) pass its end through the right side of the double block on the boom,
b) then through the plastic guide ring half way along the boom,
c) then through the first of the blocks towards the end of the boom,
d) then down and through the block on the traveler,
e) then back up and through the block at the end of the boom,
f) then again through the plastic guide ring, and then through the right side of the
double block,
g) and then down through the fairlead and cam cleat on the centre of the console.
h)
tie a stopper knot in its end. If there was not enough rope for this operation
set up the servo assist electrics and feed out sufficient rope. (see 3.1 on page 9)
