Release the lowest joining sleeve by the upper end terminal and secure the remaining sleeves again.
Slide the next 2400 mm (94 1/2”) extrusion over the rod’s top, then fit the joining sleeve and con-
necting plate into it’s lower end. Connect this to the lower extrusions. Fit a distance tube onto the
rod and push it into the 2400 mm (94 1/2”) extrusion. Release the next joining sleeve, and push the
distance tube from the top until the lower joining sleeve touches the distance tube below the join.
Check that the distance (J) between the end of the distance tube and the end of the extrusion is
approximately half the length of a joining sleeve. Connect the remaining extrusions in the same
manner.
Fit the uppermost, cut distance tube. Push the distance tube from the top until the joining sleeve
touches the distance tube below the join. The top edge of the top distance tube should now be
roughly flush with the top edge of the extrusion.
Fit the halyard swivel over the top end of the extrusion, slide it down as far as the sail feeder and
secure it in this position with adhesive tape. Fit the top guard and secure it with the four pre-fitted
screws. Tighten the screws until they bottom, but do not over-tighten.
