Erect the masts on the deck, ensuring that they
engage fully in the mast bases. Connect the shrouds
and backstays of both masts. Connect the forestay
and the mainstay, then repeat the procedure with the
flying jib and inner jib.
Glue the two yards to the schooner mast with a drop
of cyano before attaching the braces to the yards.
Finally attach the square sail bunt lines and sheets.
Set the sailwinch to minimum travel, then run the
sailwinch to the end-point at which the sails are fully
close-hauled. Tie the sheets to the booms, but use
knots which can be loosened again later. Slacken the
sails until the winch is at the other end of its travel. If
the linear movement is insufficient, increase the travel
at the winch.
CAUTION:
since the winch travel is now
greater in the ‘close-hauled’ direction, the sheets
must be loosened at the booms before you make this
adjustment. The sails can now be adjusted in a
similar manner. When you are confident that the sail
settings are correct, you can secure the sheets
permanently.
