REEFING THE MAINSAIL (shortening sail) 

 

1.  You can put one complete turn of sail around the mast without adjusting the outhaul   
2.  With the outhaul un-cleated on the boom and the outhaul ring free to travel, pull on the port 

reefing line to reduce sail area 

3.  Replace the reefing line in the cleat on the port side of the centreboard case 
4.  Haul on the outhaul and re-cleat on the boom 
5.  Release the reefing line cleat, then pull the starboard line to increase sail area 
6.  Replace the reefing line in the cleat on the port side of the centreboard case 
7.  Haul on the outhaul and re-cleat on the boom 
8.  In light to moderate breeze, it is best not to flatten the sail along the boom but allow 

enough slack to form a gentle curve about 10cm from the boom   

Note: Never pull and push both sides of the reefing lines at once as this can disconnect 
the reefing line from the drum 

 

 

REEFING THE JIB 

 

1.  Un-cleat the jibsheets before reefing 
2.  Haul on the port reefing line to reef 
3.  Haul on the starboard reefing line to un-reef 
4.  Always secure the reefing line in the cleat on the port side of the console after reefing or 

un-reefing 

5.  Move the sheet fairleads forward on the tracks when sailing with a reefed jib 

Note: Never pull and push both sides of the reefing lines at once 

 

 

STEERING 

 

1.  Ensure the steering lines pass under the groove in the base of the joystick holder     
2.  Fit the rudder box, making sure the rope traveller is above the tiller     
3.  Remove the spring clip and pass the clevis pin up through the hole at the inboard end of 

the tiller. Re-insert the clip   

4.  Fit the alloy joystick   

 

LAUNCHING 

 

1.  Pass the tow-line (painter) through the guide ring at the bow and fasten it around the mast 

with a bowline (a knot which is always easy to untie)   

2.  Use the short alloy tube to pin the centreboard up when moving the boat around ashore   
3.  Pin the centreboard in the half-way position if you need to move the boat around in shallow 

water 

4.  After removing the short pin, gently lower the centreboard into its fully down position 
5.  Use the long pin inserted through the centreboard handle and into the console moulding to 

lock the centreboard down 

Note: Do not sail unless the centreboard is locked fully down as this risks capsizing 
and dislocation of the sailor/s and centreboard
