GENOA AND STAYSAIL
SAIL SETTING
Pay attention to the way the drum winds up : the genoa UV protection
must be outside.
The genoa halyard has an extension linked to it through a whipping
(figures on page 44).
- Hoist the genoa until the halyard whipping appears level with the
tension adjustment track.
- Furl the genoa.
The halyard can then be slackened.
- Separate the halyard from its extension.
- Have both of them fixed on each side of the tension adjustment traveller.
- Block the locker.
- Harden moderately the halyard until the traveller locks automatically
one or two notches lower.
Once the genoa is completely unwounded, you will be able to adjust
its definitive tension using a tightening rope, more important than the
halyard extension.
If the genoa is kept wound when the boat is not used, slip the halyard
one notch tighter on the track in order to release the tension of the
halyard on the masthead sheave.
GENOA AND STAYSAIL USE
Once the sheet is home, unfurl the genoa or staysail using the switch
at the helm station.
The domestic batteries supply power to the genoa and staysail
furlers.
Their circuit breakers are in the service room of the foredeck.
GENOA LOWERING
the genoa must absolutely be furled.
- Have the genoa halyard extension fixed in the lower hook of the
tension adjustment traveller then pass it in the available mast foot
block with a direct return to a winch on the wheelhouse.
- Hoist the halyard (about 5 cm) before letting the traveller go down.
- Release the traveller locker doing a ninety-degree turn.
- Slip the halyard to the winch.
- This group of elements is no longer under tension.
- Release the halyard and its extension from the tension adjustment
traveller and tighten them together with a solid whipping (in order to
get one single halyard).
- Harden moderately the halyard using the winch.
- Unwind the genoa to haul down.

RECOMMENDATION
To furl or unfurl the headsails, be preferably down
wind.
RECOMMENDATION
When you shift the tack and depending on the
sailing trim of the boat, use the electric furler and
set the tack in line with the headsail.
WARNING
When the mainsail is shortened and reefed down
twice, you must replace the genoa by the staysail.
