2.8 To furl the jib, remove the strut, unhook
the downhaul, slide the claw to the base of
the mast then pull the port jib reefing line to
completely roll up the sail. (fig 16)
If fig. 16 is in B&W it may be hard to see the
orange sails rolled around the mast.
2.9 Its OK to roll 1 to 3 turns on the fore-
mast to reef for strong winds, but for furling
do as per 2.8.

IF SERVO ASSIST WINCHES ARE FITTED—SETTING UP MAIN & JIB SHEETS.
3.1 If sheet winches are fitted and the boat is to be sailed manually, it will be nec-
essary to run all but about half a metre of sheet out of the winches to leave all the
sheet available for manual operation. Read carefully below (3.2 to 3.8) and PART
THREE for an understanding of the Servo Assist System.
3.2 Presuming the boat is servo
assist equipped it will be neces-
sary to set up the main and jib
sheet winches to work in sync.
Commence by installing the bat-
teries and connecting the joy-
stick. (fig 17 showing battery
with Y connector going forward
around front of the centreboard
case to second battery).
See fig 26 on page 10 for a typical
joystick controller. Plug the joy-
stick into the 9 way yellow con-
nector on the lead below the
helm winch drum behind the seat
starboard side.
(fig 21 on page 19)
3.3 On the joystick box is a push button switch (Main Only Switch or MO Switch)
which disconnects the jib sheet winch to allow the main sheet to be fine tuned in-
dependently. A red light is on when the MO Switch is activated. Press the button
again to operate both winches together. This function can be used to set up the
sheets so both main and jib are correctly set for windward work.
