- 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.
For this reason the stepping of the mast must be
carried out under the responsibility of your
dealer the first time the mast is stepped.
- Before each trip, carefully inspect the mast
from top to bottom.
- Periodically check the rig tension and the
tightness of the locknuts and bottle screw clevis
pins.
- When not sailing, slacken the genoa halyard
and keep it away from the forestay (risk of
halyard becoming furled around the forestay,
which can lead to the stay breaking and
dismasting of the boat).
