14.5 LAUNCH/LIFT OUT
The initial commissioning of your boat will require a lot of skill and care. The proper working of all your boat's equipment
is the result of the quality of the commissioning operations. This is why the initial launch must be overseen by your dealer.
Before launching
- Replace the log in its housing.
- Check the cleanliness of the sea water strainers.
- Prepare enough fenders and lines.
14.6 STEPPING/UNSTEPPING THE MAST
The stepping /unstepping operations require the skills of a professional rigger: please consult your dealer.
Mast adjustment
NOTE:
The recommended values should be respected (at minimum), since with these tensions the rigging is tight and the
minimum cable flexibility (extension) when sailing to prevent mast movement.
The load on the wires can only be measured by using a tensiometer.
Necessary material:
- Tensiometer gauge from Loos & CO, model PT2M.
Do not remain onboard or beneath the boat
during the handling operations.
- When placing the slings make sure that the
positioning marks are still visible.
- Submerge the sling fully under the engine
mounting.
