RUNNING RIGGING
MAINTENANCE
Change any distorted or dented sheave. Inspect the pins of the sheaves at the top of the
mast once a year.
Lightly grease the sheave pins.
Regularly check the condition of the jam cleat jaws.
Inspect the halyards for wear and condition.
Regularly clean the pulleys off (old grease, traces of rust) with clear water.
Slightly lubricate the block pins.
Avoid aggressive gybing in order to reduce premature wear on the sheets, attachment points
and the gooseneck.
WINCHES
OPERATION
Avoid rope jamming during winch handling. Do not leave loose ropes on the winches but make
them fast on cleats (except on the ’’Self Tailing’’ winches).
SETTING THE SAILS
CLASSICAL MAINSAIL
With the mainsail being on the deck:
- Screw the pins of the mast sliders for battens into their boxes.
- Slide in the battens through the leech.
- Screw the box cap until you get the required tension (the tightening screw shall not project
beyond the sail).
- Do not forget the small locking screw.
- Put the mainsail into the lazy-bag.
- Set the boom ring in velcro about level with the clew.
- Fit the mainsail onto its slides, begin with the headboard and finish with the tack.
WARNING
-Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to remove the winches and put
them back.
Improper refitting may result in accidents (e.g. kick of the crank handle).
