Now step the mast, following the instructions in Section 3.4 - Stepping the Mast.
3.9 - Rigging the
Jib
Once the mast is stepped in the boat, you should attach the
shrouds
to the
shroud
adjuster plates. A good setting to start with is
with the pin in the third hole down on the
shroud
adjuster plate.
HINT
The mast on the RS Feva is sup
port
ed at deck level by the
mast gate
and the
foredeck. The
shrouds
are fitted to stop the mast from bending when tension is
applied to the
jib halyard
, hence making the
jib
work better. Therefore, changing
the
shroud
adjuster hole position will affect the amount that the mast bends
when tension is applied to the
jib halyard
.
