wire strands, cracked swage terminals or nicks, scratches and dents in rod rigging.  Inspect all clevis pins 
for wear, and to be certain that they are properly pinned and taped so that they do not damage sails or 
halyards.  Consult your Tartan Dealer if you detect any potential problem. 
 
b)  Install the spreaders and secure the rigging to the spreader ends.  Be sure the halyards are not 
entangled with the spreaders.  Pad the spreader ends with foam and tape over thoroughly to prevent chafe 
to the sails.  Test all mast lights with a portable 12 Volt battery and label all wires at the mast base 
accordingly.  Tie all running rigging together and secure the bundle to the spar at the lower black band.  
Tie all standing rigging together and secure the bundle to the spar at the lower black band.  Remove cotter 
and clevis pins from all turnbuckles and place them in a container for future use.  Back off all turnbuckles 
and lightly grease the threads of the turnbuckle screws with a corrosion inhibitor such as  Lanocote or Tef 
Gel.  If the turnbuckle threads have tape adjustment marks, do not remove the tape or alter the positioning 
by adjusting the turnbuckle unevenly. 
 

DOUBLE CHECK EACH OF THE ABOVE STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING. 

 
c)  Prepare a rope sling, of adequate capacity, which will take the weight of the spar.   Place the sling 
INSIDE the standing and running rigging so that it will not crush the rigging against the spar.  Next, make 
fast a ½” diameter tie-down line to the sling, securing the line at the lower end of the spar.  Ensure that 
the  tie-down will not interfere with the removal of the bundle of standing rigging which will be undone 
before the sling is removed.  To prevent the weight of the spar being carried by the spreaders or mast 
hardware when the spar is raised to a vertical position, adjust the tie-down so that the weight of the spar is 
carried by the sling and tie-down only. 
 
d)  Attach the crane lifting hook to the sling. It is recommended that a piece of carpet be wrapped and 
taped around the lifting hook to prevent it from marking the mast during stepping. 
 

DO NOT STAND OR POSITION ANYONE DIRECTLY BELOW A SUSPENDED MAST. 

 
At least three persons in addition to the crane operator should be present when stepping the spar.  Position 
one person at the foot of the mast to guide the foot as the mast is being lifted, slowly swing the crane 
toward the yacht while keeping the foot pointed toward the base of the crane.  This will keep the spar 
from swinging into the crane. 
 

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, ARMS OR FEET DIRECTLY BELOW THE SPAR AS IT IS 
LOWERED INTO THE YACHT. 

 
When the crane is in position, move the foot of the spar over to the second person who should now be 
aboard the yacht. Carefully pass the spar to the person aboard.  Slowly raise the spar to an almost vertical 
position and guide the foot through the mast collar.  Pad the mast collar with cloth to ensure that the paint 
on the mast is not damaged as the mast is lowered through the collar.  Be careful not to let the masthead 
swing and hit the crane arm.  When lowering the mast through the collar, all mast electrical wiring should 
precede the entry of the mast.  Check aloft that the mast and crane are not fouling.  With the foot of the 
mast through the collar, untie the bundle of standing rigging and clear each piece away from the crane 
lifting cable. 
 
e)  Lower the mast through the collar, being careful not to scratch the mast as it passes through the collar 
opening.  A piece of carpet placed between the sides of the mast and the collar will reduce the likelihood 
of scratching as the mast is lowered to the step.  With the weight of the spar on the step, attach the 
forestay, backstay and both port and starboard upper shrouds.  When stepping the mast for the first time, 
follow the instructions in the SparTite kit included with your new yacht.
