2. COMMISSIONING
2.1 Preparation
Your RS Cat 16 comes complete with all the components necessary to take
the boat sailing. In order to commission it, you will need the following tools:
•
Pliers or a shackle key
•
Small Pozidrive screwdriver
•
17mm Spanner
•
PVC electrician’s tape
Whilst your RS Cat 16 has been carefully prepared, it is important that new
owners should check that shackles and knots are tight. This is especially
important when the boat is new, as travelling can loosen seemingly tight
fittings and knots. It is also important to check such items prior to sailing
regularly. Also check the beam bolts regularly are tight.
2.2 Unpacking
Having unpacked your RS Cat 16, you should check that you have all of the
items listed below before throwing away any of the packing, as there may be
some small items still wrapped. Please see contents page.
DO NOT use a knife or other sharp object to cut through packaging containing
parts – you may damage the contents!
