Returning to shore
1.
Remember to undo the wing nut on the rudder before coming in. Loosen the rudder downhaul and be ready to
pull the uphaul. Note that when pulled fully the uphaul takes the rudder right out of the water (so you can’t
steer).
2.
Centreboard should be up
3.
Painter– there is a painter on the bow of the boat (it pulls out), just above the spinnaker pole.
DERIGGING
—Mainsail
1.
Release Cunningham (red/white) on stbd side of mast. Take out the knot on the end of the Cunningham from
the mainsail track just below the gooseneck.
2.
Loosen outhaul (Black and Green) on boom cleat, then take off the outhaul at end of boom. Take the slug on
the sail out from the top of the boom. Note that the boom will now drop.
3.
Take out main halyard from the pocket and unravel. Undo the main halyard (black/white) from the cleat on the
port side of the mast. Pull the main sail down into the boat cockpit. Undo the bobble from the head. Take the
bobble to the end of the boom and attach in the same place as where the outhaul was fitted. Go back to the hal-
yard at the mast and pull, so that the boom is raised to the horizontal position. Cleat off.
4.
Neatly roll the sail, and place in the bag. Leave in the cockpit down the port side.
JIB
(You must attach the Jib Forestay before lowering the Jib)
1.
If not already done furl the jib using the jib furling chord (thin Red
with Yellow and Blue) on the starboard deck.
2.
Take the Jib forestay from the p clip or bar at the base of the mast.
3.
Attach Jib forestay to the Jib bar (not the furling device) near the
bow.
(This must be done BEFORE you lower the jib, else the mast
will fall down).
4.
Take the Jib Halyard (white) out of the pocket.
5.
Undo the Jib Halyard tensioning system and remove hook from the
wire loop. The white halyard will then pull up into the mast as the jib
drops. Lay the jib down the starboard side of the boat.
Rudder
1.
Reverse the process for attaching the rudder.
2.
Place rudder assembly in the cockpit
Finally
1.
Take off the main sheet by undoing the figure of 8 on the end of the
main sheet
2.
Put the cover on
3.
Take the black reefing line from the end of the boom and attach to
the rudder transom plate, to stop the boom swinging.
4.
Open the bung.

Reefing -
There is a single line reefing system that is easy to use. The reefing line is black with yellow flecks. At rear of boom take reefing line
and lace from side to side upwards to top eyelet and then back down to the boom and attach in the same was as the outhaul to the other side of the
boom, or tie round the boom with a bowline. At the front of the boom take the loose end of the reefing line and lace upwards through the eyelets,
and then back down pushing the reefing line near the knot into the small hole on the front of the boom. There is a separate diagram.
