FURLING GENOA
Before getting under way take advantage of a windless period of time and hoist the genoa.
Hand pre-roll the drum to set the furling line on it.
Pay attention to the drum winding direction: The sacrificial strip of the genoa shall be wrapped outside.
- Secure the head and halyard to the swivel. Secure the tack to the drum and sheets.
- Insert the bolt rope into the hole and hoist it and take care that you do not tear it.
- Have the halyard taut enough but hoist less taut than a sail on a normal stay. Hoist it until the
horizontal creases disappear (Adjust the tension of the luff after a few sea trips).
- Pull on the line from the cockpit to furl the genoa.
Never force it in case it seizes when you furl or unfurl the head sails. Make sure a halyard is not jammed
in the furler.
ADVICE: When you are not sailing, slacken the genoa halyard.
MAINTENANCE
- Regularly rinse the drum and swivel.
- Lubricate the bearings if recommended by the manufacturer.
- Unrig the sails if your boat is not to be used for long.
LAZY-BAG (OPTIONAL EXTRA)
- Spread out the lazy-bag on the deck.
- Slide the battens in and close the batten pockets.
- Hank on the lazy-bag until you have the front part about level with the gooseneck.
- Fasten the lazy-bag to the tack with the strap provided.
- Stretch the lazy-bag from the back before you fasten the lazy-jacks.
- Tighten up the port side.
- Put the mainsail into the lazy-bag.
- Tighten up the starboard side.
ADVICE: Install the lazy-bag before the mainsail.
