The Jeanneau 53 standard features include a keel-stepped in-mast furling
mast (optional classic mast) that was adjusted by a professional when it was
fi rst stepped.
The cables stretch a little during the fi rst sailings. Therefore it will be advisa-
ble to have the mast inspected and adjusted by a professional.
Before you put out to sea, it is essential to make sure that the standing rigging
is in good condition : inspect the gooseneck and turnbuckles and check the
shrouds for condition.
Any intervention of the standing rigging comes within a professional’s remit.
To hoist a crew member up to the top of the mast, use the mainsail halyard or
the boom topping lift with the appropriate winch.
Belay the crew member with a bowline on the bosun’s chair ring (Do not use
the snap shackle or shackle of the halyard).
The boat may be fi tted with optional hydraulic backstays.
The tension of the backstays is done with hydraulic ram.
The ram manual control is directly located on the backstays ram.
Have the system of the hydraulic backstays checked and maintained by a
professional.
