10- POST-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
The furling line has been half hitched round the drum
The furling line runs at 90° to the foil sections
(when the furling line is positioned at mid-height around the drum)
The furling line runs through the stainless steel guide
(If not, see p28, “adjusting the furling line guide”)
The bottom pin of the forestay is correctly bolted, at
least one thread is showed beyond the bolt
(If the furling system is fiited with link plates, check the upper fixing
srews)
When the sail is hoisted and the halyard is tensioned correctly :
distance between halyard deflector & bottom end of the top
forestay terminal
=40mm minimum – 139mm maximum
distance between halyard swivel & top cap
=75mm minimum – 150 mm maximum*
Recommended datas (may vary according to rigging fitting)
* space to allow for change in luff length of Genoa. The bigger is
the distance between the top swivel and the top cap, the more
important is the risk for the halyard to twist round the forestay.
Make sure that the halyard/forestay angle is bigger than 15° (if not,
see page 29)
The swivel is clear of any halyard
The Genoa halyard is correctly tensioned
The forestay is sufficiently tight
