3.4 Stepping the mast
1.
Lift the
mast
and sail over the
mast plate
on the deck.
2.
With the
mast
upright, lower the end through the
mast plate
ensuring that the retaining
key is in line with the slot in the mast plate. When the mast is fully in, rotate it through 180
degrees so that the key is under the back of the plate. Note: the mk2 kicker eye is located
on the front of the mast.
Top Tip
If the wind is blowing there will be a lot of pressure on the top of the mast making it wave
around. Consider finding somebody to help if you feel that you will struggle, especially with
the Pro sail.
WARNING
When lifting the mast, make sure that there are no overhead power lines.
