5. In the SB side deck, you unscrew the stainless cap and install the small short stainless
mast support tube with the two rings on top and when the support tube is fully
screwed into the deck fitting make sure the two rings on top is facing fore and aft. (
like wheels on a car )
6. Now install the longer aluminium mast support tube on the stainless eyebolt just
under the SB side spreader and the other end on the aft steel ring in the stainless
support tube on the SB side deck.
7. On the front lower end on the mast, you will see a smaller U-shape stainless fitting
on which you install the mainsail boom front end with the 8mm bolt in the U-shape
fitting, across the boom fitting. The boom can now rest on the front of the boat.
8. Prepare the mast raising block tackle system (an 8-mm line with a 2:1 block system).
Pull the bowsprit fully forward (take off the side lines on the bowsprit). Install the
single block with becket on the eye of the bowsprit (Code-0 eye) and the single block
on the mainsheet strap on the mainsail boom. Now install the spinnaker halyard in
the shackle for the mainsail outhaul line. Next step is to install the smaller spinnaker
pole on the folding pad eye on the side of the mainsail boom – and the other end of
the smaller aluminium pole on to the forward stainless ring on the side deck support
pole. The mainsail boom will now not be in the centre and point to the port side,
which is normal. Very important is to check that these aluminium support poles are
correct fixed and not only halfway, as this can cause the mast to fall down when
raising the mast. The line in the 2:1 mast raising pully system is lead back to the SB
side cabin top winch and best through one of the halyard stoppers on the deck.
9. Now turn the mainsail boom up in upright position and fix it with the spinnaker
halyard and the 2:1 mast raising line. The spinnaker halyard you simply tie to the
turnbuckle on the mast for the spreader cable and make sure the top of the boom is
pointing about 10 degrees toward the top of the mast (this is to ensure the mast is
not pointing down into the foredeck or pulpit when mast is pulled fully up).
10. Now you can start pulling the mast up, just pull slow on the Winch and the mast will
come up, please ALL THE TIME check that the side stays does not get twisted or
jammed fx around the floats etc. Please also take note that the mast gets easier and
easier to pull up as it comes up higher and at the and you can almost pull it by hand
only so pull slowly at the end just before the mast is fully up. When the forestay is
still about 1 meter too short, please check the stainless mast pin in the foot of the
mast is moving correctly into the stainless-steel mast base fitting and from now just
pull the mast up gentle and keep checking the mast pin finds it correct into the mast
