2.3 DETERMINING WHICH SECTION LENGTH SHOULD BE USED
The example given is of a LS165 12M40, standard (i.e. not delivered to a shipyard), for a
forestay measuring between 10.4 and 12.4 metres. According to the table above, you will
receive: 5 two-metre external sections and 1 one-metre external section.
EXAMPLE No1 :
your forestay measures between
10.40 and 11.40 metres (fig. A),
you
do not need the 1-metre section.
EXAMPLE No2:
your forestay measures between
11.40 and 12.40 metres,
you do need
the 1-metre section
(fig. B)
; the latter fits above the last section.
In both examples, the exact length will be reached with the telescopic section (fig. C).
