STEPPING THE MAST
CAUTION – DANGER ALUMINIUM MAST
Watch for overhead wires before raising the mast.
CONTACT OF THE MAST WITH POWER LINES COULD BE FATAL!
For safety purpose 3 persons are recommended the first time you step the mast.
1. Make sure that the rigging wires are not twisted. Attach the shrouds to
the top hole of the side stay adjusters.Descendre le protège-latte jusqu’au
milieu de la latte.
2. One person stands on the trampoline and holds the mast base onto the
mast step, a second person lifts the mast until the person on the trampo-
line can support the mast. Now, the person on the trampoline pushes the
mast into the fully upright position.
3. The second person moves to the front and help stepping the mast by
pulling on the trapeze wires. When the boat is upright, attach the
forestay to the top hole of the stay adjuster or of the furler chainplate (for
the furler option).
4. When the mast is secured, take the bolt off the mast base and stow it
securely. You will need it the next time you lower or step the mast again.
5. Trapeze
Take the two trapeze shock cords, pass
them underneath the trampoline and up
through the grommets in the trampoline.
Attach the trapeze handle ropes and rope
locks as per the photograph.
6. Tensioning the rigging
Now the rigging can be tensioned. One
person can pull down on the trapeze wires
while the other person moves the shrouds
into a lower position in the stay adjuster.
Ensure both sides are equal. Position the
stay adjuster covers over the adjusters
and twist toggles.
