the mast comes down, take care that the winch line meets
the center of the raising pole, and that the mast is central
when it reaches the aft mast support.
CAUTION: If your trailer winch does not have an
automatic brake feature, don’t let go of the winch
handle while lowering. Should this happen it will start
spinning very fast and could cause injury. Don’t try and
stop it - except by using the winch brake.
DON’T try and
grab the handle - you will just have to let the mast fall -
better than a broken hand.
Once the mast is fully down, disconnect the winch
hook, reconnect to the bow eye, and retension. The jib
halyard is then reconnected to the mast.
Disconnect mast from the step, and lift it up to enable
the wind indicator to be removed from the masthead.
Walk the mast forward until it can be rested on the carrier
on the pulpit. With roller furling booms, the mast can be
mounted on a lift up spigot (in mast furler hole) on the
pulpit.
Secure the mast to the pulpit and aft mast support. All
rigging wires and stays should now be secured to the
mast with the Velcro ties. This is to prevent them from
rubbing on the deck which will quickly wear through any
gelcoat or paint. On long trips it is also a good idea to pad
between the wires and the mast, or remove the wires
altogether.
CAUTION:
Avoid elastic type mast ties with hooks, as they can
be dangerous. Velcro straps are much safer
Rudder should be fully up, and tied to one side. Should
local regulations not permit the rudder to be left on the
transom, it should be removed and stowed in the towing
vehicle. If fitted, secure the pop-top down, or it could lift
up during high speed towing.
Connect the trailer lights (making sure they are on the
correct sides) and then check that the trailer is correctly
positioned under the hull. You are now ready for the road.
LIFTING OUT
Should there be no ramp present, then all Farrier
designs can be lifted in and out by the usual dockside lift,
by fitting permanent
Lifting Eyes (with substantial back-
ing inside).
Slings can also be used around the complete folded
craft, the best bearing areas for the slings being the beam
areas. Other temporary lifting points are the mainsheet
traveller (outer corners), shroud chainplates on the cen-
ter hull (when fitted), or the beam bolt pads in the beam
recesses.
MARINA DOCKING
For marina docking, the side stays are released from
the floats where required and the floats folded as normal.
The marina slip can then be entered and the folded boat
moored as with any other craft. However, care must be
taken if high cross winds are a possibility, as
folded
stability is limited . Precautions include running a line
from the mast to the dock on each side, a wider folded
Leave the topping lift on, to take the weight, and discon-
nect boom from the mast. Lay it down on the cabin roof
to one side and fit the sail cover/bag. Disconnect the
topping lift, and reconnect to the mast.
The boom/mainsail can be heavy on larger designs
and hard to handle. It can be stowed in the cabin if you
wish, but this takes considerable effort, as well as consid-
erable room inside. It is much more convenient to stow it
on the cabin roof, where it is protected by its bag and is
ready for instant use the next time.
To lower the mast, release the jib halyard from the
rope clutch, turning block and mast base block (if neces-
sary) and
cleat it to a horn cleat on the mast side.
Release the trailer winch hook, pass it over the bow roller
and hook to the jib halyard. Tension the winch until the
forestay just becomes slack, allowing the pin to be
removed. There is no need to slacken the turnbuckle.
Take the forestay back and secure to the mast.
Remove all halyards etc. from the rope clutches and
blocks as required. Wrap these around the mast to retain
all stays and halyards neatly against the mast. It is
important that this is done now, as otherwise any loose
stays will tend to fall away over the boat when lowering
the mast. It also makes subsequent rigging easier.
Fit the mast raising pole/yoke assembly, and begin
lowering the mast by letting out the trailer winch line. The
raising wires must be fitted with rotating masts . As
