O INSERT THE BOLT ROPE INTO THE FEEDER
V 2 a - Unscrew the starboard side plastic knob (32) by a few turns to increase the gap between the
bronze rollers (36).
V 2 b - Insert the bolt rope/luff tape between the bronze rollers (36) and push it upwards into the luff

VI - ADJUSTMENT OF THE BOOMVANG ANGLE TO THE MAST
This essential procedure must be achieved either with no wind at all,
or with extremely calm wind and the boat heading into the wind.
VI 1 - Hoist the sail as previously described and tension your halyard quite hard.
VI 2 - Completely loosen the nuts of the boomvang hound (28), and make sure the hound is totally free
to move fore and aft in the lower track of the boom.
VI 3 - Make sure the mainsheet is completely loose and let the boom hang in this position, just held by
the mainsail.
VI 4 - Tighten again the nuts of the boomvang hound (28) with the boom in this position.
VI 5 -The sail can now be furled by gently releasing the halyard and pulling together on the furling line.
VI 6 - Fine tuning of the boomvang position adjustment may be necessary :
1. If the luff tape rolls too much backwards, adjust the boomvang hound (28) position so that the
boom angles up a little more.
2.
If the luff tape rolls too much forward, adjust the boomvang hound position so that the boom
angles down a little more.
