Running rigging
(sheets, halyards, etc.)
On the Grand Soleil 45’ there are entirely textile halyards.
Warning and caution
•
Check frequently all running rigging wear; if you notice any broken or worn wire,
replace the cable as soon as possible.
•
When the sail is hoisted, tighten the last centimetres of the halyards with great caution, as, if you
tighten too much, the halyard end, to which the shackle and the snap shackle are attached, may
enter in the mast pulley and damage it.
-
In this connection, we recommend you to install the special nylon stop-balls on the
halyards ends; they prevent the halyard end from entering into the pulley.
-
In any case, we recommend you to mark on each halyard, with indelible ink, the security
point beyond which you must never tighten the halyard.
