When attaching the shroud to the platform use the bow shackle to attach though the eye with the
spinnaker sheet block facing forward (1)
•
To make the erection of the mast easier place the shrouds on the top hole on the shroud plate and
adjust afterwards accordingly
•
Screw on the stainless striker to the top plate, put just enough to hold the mast as you want this to be
as long as possible (2)
•
Place the foot of the mast on the ball on the main beam, with the mast rotated at 90 degrees. This will
help stop the mast jumping off the ball when erecting it (3)
•
Take one trapeze handle and stand in front of the mast, this will be used to help pull up the mast
•
The second person will stand at the top end of the mast and walk the mast up keeping it a 90
degrees, the person at the bottom of the mast should make sure that the mast doesn't want to
jump of the ball until there is a suitable amount of downward force to stop that (only when the
mast is between 90 - 50 degrees)
•
When erecting the mast place the eye of the forestay though the top pin on the stainless striker. (5)
