9. Repeat for the remaining 2400 mm (94 1/2”) luff extrusions. Use short joining sleeves only.
10. Fit the long joining sleeve onto the wire. Then fit the short distance tube and finally the short 1000 mm
(39 3/8”) luff extrusion. Make sure that the single hole end goes first.
11. Connect the same way as previous joins but use the long connector this time. Push the short distance
tube in approximately 50 mm (1 31/32), leaving space for the bearing plug halves, see below.
12. Snap on the sail feeder connector and put the sail feeder in position. Secure with the screw and tighten
moderately.
13. Fit the halyard swivel from the top and slide it down until it stops on top of the sail feeder. Then fit
the top guard and push it into the top luff extrusion until it stops. Secure it with the two pre-fitted
screws. Tighten the screws until they bottom, but do not over-tighten.
14. Fit the bearing plug halves as shown. Adjust so that the hole in the forward bearing plug aligns with the
forward hole in the 1000 mm (39 3/8”) luff extrusion.
This completes the luff assembly. Next step is to fit the lower eye teminal to the stay. There are two types of eye
terminals; Stud/Eye terminal and Stalok eye terminal (with or without rigging screw).
