15. Before stepping the mast lay it out (on padding, you don’t
want to scratch your new carbon mast). Check the lines and
wires are not twisted up. LOOK UP to check you are not
going to hit anything when you raise mast, especially power
lines!! NOTE: The trapeze T terminals go in the upper slots.
16. Fit the rig adjusters onto the chain plates
17. Attach the lower shroud to the inboard rig adjuster. Five
holes down on the front row is a good start but check

for tuning information
18. Check the mast step is clear for the mast to be stepped.
The 2 intermediate bolts may be relocated to different holes
in the mast step between the front and back bolts. The back
bolt may be moved to the back holes. The kicker control line
block may be relocated to another part of the step.
19. Step the mast and loosely the forestay with the rig
tensioning device (not supplied) to the upper eye (arrowed)
20. With the weight of the mast now on the forestay attach
the lower shrouds to the plate on the mast. Do both sides
and the mast will now be self supported.
