At the bow is the jib strut downhaul, free it and attach its plastic hook to the lug on the front of the claw. (fig
13—page 14).
Pull in on the downhaul (located on the left side of the console) and cleat it on the most forward of the
black clamcleats. (fig 6 on page 10)
Check the manual operation of the jib sheet located at the cam cleat on the right side of the console.
(*) To furl the jib, remove the strut, unhook the downhaul, slide
the claw to the base of the mast then pull the port jib reefing
line to completely roll up the sail. (fig 16)
(If fig. 16 is in B&W it may be hard to see the orange
sails rolled around the mast.)
It is OK to roll 1 to 3 turns on the foremast to reef for strong
winds, but for furling do as per (*) above.
3. Setting up Main and Jib sheets
If sheet winches are fitted and the boat is to be sailed manual-
ly, it will be necessary to run all but about half a metre of sheet out of the winches to leave all the sheet
available for manual operation. Read carefully below and PART THREE (p19) for an understanding of the
Servo Assist System.
Presuming the boat is servo assist equipped it will
be necessary to set up the main and jib sheet winch-
es to work in sync. Commence by installing the bat-
teries and connecting the joystick. (fig 17 showing
battery with Y connector going forward around front
of the centreboard case to second battery).
See fig 18 on page 16 for a typical joystick control-
ler. Plug the joystick into the 9 way yellow connector
on the lead below the helm winch drum behind the
seat starboard side. (fig 24 on page 19)
On the joystick box is a push button switch (Main
Only Switch or MO Switch) which disconnects the jib
sheet winch to allow the main sheet to be fine tuned
independently. A red light is on when the MO Switch is activated. Press the button again to operate both
winches together. This function can be used to set up the sheets so both main and jib are correctly set for
windward work.
