Proceed as follows to install or remove the mast on your own:
BEFORE STEPPING THE MAST:
- Protect the mast from chafing from the hook and hoist cable,
- Secure the shrouds and lines to the mast base with a hitch of sufficient length to
guide the mast foot during handling,
- Protect the spreader end pieces,
- Install a 1.50 m line around the mast with a thimble on each end and wrapped
with
rags. Install the line below the second tier of spreaders. Connect both thimbles
by means of a sufficiently strong shackle and attach to the crane hook, ahead of the
mast. Raise the assembly until it is taut under the spreader base.
DURING MAST STEPPING:
- Take all steps necessary to avoid damaging the equipment on the mast head,
- Control the handling by means of the backstay and mast base hitch,
- Ensure that the mast base rests fully on its support plate.
AFTER MAST STEPPING:
- Check the spreaders for safety and position: they must always be above the
horizontal,
- Lubricate all bottlescrews (refer to “Hints”, chapter 5),
- Make the shrouds fast (refer to chapter 5 for “Settings”),
- Insert the wires in the cable glands, re-feed the cable glands and connect the
electric cables (refer to chapter 8 “Electricity”),
- Carefully check that the bottlescrew securing pins are locked and protected by
adhesive tape.
- Re-install the boom and refit all lines,
- Carefully check that the mast collar sleeve is waterproof; Seal the mast groove
with silicone.
Adjust the mast again after a few trips out to sea.
UNSTEPPING THE MAST:
Proceed in reverse order taking care to mark the line locations with stickers.
