RUDDER
Fit the rudder stock to the transom mounted pintails making sure that the safety retention clip
engages. Then assemble the tiller to the rudder ensuring that the rudder control lines are not
snagged or unduly twisted. Cleat the rudder shock cord downhaul and plain uphaul lines to the
cleats on the tiller when assembled.
REEFING
A reef is easily installed ashore.
Release the main halyard but do not let go, and recleat it when sufficient sail has been pulled down.
Pull down on the fore and aft reefing lines, this will draw the sail down onto the boom, and make
sure they are fully cleated. Fold down the excess sail in neat rolls along the boom and tie in the
reefing ties.
Uncleat, re-tighten the main halyard and re-cleat.
AFTER SAILING
Please clean the boat, lower the mainsail, stow the mainsail halyard on the spinnaker pole ring,
tension and cleat off.
Roll the mainsail up and lay on the seats
Remove and store the rudder and tiller extension on the opposite seats.
Unfurl the Genoa, release the highfield lever (mind your fingers) detach the halyard from the top
furler, and stow on the spinnaker pole ring, tension and cleat off.
Release the foot of the sail from the furling drum, roll the sail up and put it back in its bag and lay it
on top of the rudder.
Open the balers, put the boat back in its berth, replace the boat cover and tie the boat down.
PLEASE LEAVE THE BOAT FLAT, DO NOT RAISE THE BOW ONTO
A CHAIR OR TYRE.
Please treat the boat as if it were your own and leave it in the condition you would hope to find it in.
If any problems arise whilst on hire please report them to Richard or myself (Bob Fox 01392
446991) so that they may be fixed.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE BOAT BEING
UNUSABLE THE NEXT TIME SOMEBODY HIRES IT.
