BOOM AND SAIL SET UP
The pulse 600 has incorporated the furling boom
system, for ease of operation when rigging and de
rigging.
BOOM SET UP
The boom is connected on to a shaft that passes
through the mast with the furling handle attached to the
fwd side of the mast. The handle is locked into position
by a retractable hand piece which will slide out when
you need to furl the main sail.
Once you have connected the boom onto mast. Attach
the adjustable boom topper onto the rotating SS
bracket on the out board end of boom.
This will allow the boom to stay in a horizontal position.
Attach the mainsheet system to the dux strop that the
outhaul is connected to. This will help keep the boom
stationary when you are hoisting the mainsail.
HOISTING MAINSAIL
When hoisting the mainsail for the first time. You can
unfold and layout in the cockpit and nets, Load the
mainsail battens and set to the required tension.
Attach the main halyard to the head of sail and attach
the outhaul line shackle to the clew on foot of the sail.
Tie a small lashing line onto the ring that is on the shaft
on boom end and allow 250mm of lashing to the tack
point on sail.
This will act as a safety strop for when you decide to
furl the mainsail and disconnect the Cunningham hook.
When hoisting the mainsail, make sure you are headed
to the wind direction. Reducing the wind pressure in
sail will make hoisting possible
Once you have everything connected in place and
facing in the right direction you are ready to hoist
the mainsail. Make sure you have a little slack in the
