1) Setting the Downhaul When You
Have the Correct Ezzy Mast:
a)
First, check that the length of
your Ezzy mast falls within the recom-
mended lengths (chart 1).
Note:
If your Ezzy mast combination
does not fall within the lengths in
Chart 1, then please refer to the
Troubleshooting section on the back
page of this guide.
b)
Finally, downhaul your sail until
the calibration mark lines up with the
bottom of the mast (figure 1).
Which Calibration Line to Use?
- For extremely strong wind, use the
“Max” line.
- For mediumly powered conditions,
use the “Med” line.
-For light wind, use the “Min” line.
Additional Information:
- We have set the adjustable head
cap to its shortest setting.
Do not re-
adjust the head webbing.
- Do not over-downhaul. Too much
downhaul will make the sail unstable.
-If you feel back-hand pressure, apply
more outhaul.
- It’s best to adjust the downhaul and
outhaul together. For example, if you
increase the downhaul for strong
wind, you should also increase the
outhaul. And, for light wind, to get
maximum power, reduce the outhaul
as well as the downhaul.
