Now you can erect the mast. By
tightening the front rope and
locking it in the notch you can
achieve thorough tightening
for all the ropes and the mast
until completely taut. Screw
in the stretchers on the lower
stainless ropes in such a manner
so that these are tightened and
completely taut.
Interlace the lifting ropes
(halyards) with a pulley on the
top of the mast. Before erecting
the mast, fix the lateral fastening
ropes to the upper part of the
mast as well as the front rope.
Attach the other ends of lateral
guy-ropes to the frame using the
shackles. Attach the front rope to
the snap hook on the bowsprit.
