The mast and the rig
A detailed manual from the mast manufacturers Seldén Mast is attached.
When sailing downwind with a risk for unintentional gibing, you shall use a
preventer line. Please notice that this line must be lead from the aft end of
the boom (labelled “preventer only”) to one of the forward mooring cleats. If
you should place the line further forward on the boom, you may break the
boom.
Every mast must be checked and re-tuned regularly, at least after one month.
Especially a new rig needs after tension. Failure to do so may result in rig
failure.
The back stay tensioner
You may use normal force to tension your back stay. The mast will then take a bend aft-wards and this
is as it should be. In harbour the extra tension should be released.
Furling mainsail, shackle on boom
Please be aware to install the shackle between the outhaul line on top of the boom with the screw, up,
not down. If the screw is positioned down, it will cause ugly scratches on the upper side of the boom.
Incorrect position – will scratch the boom Correct position – shackle will not scratch the boom
Furling mainsail outhaul to cockpit
In case you have a furling mainsail with outhaul line lead back to the cockpit, please be aware that this
line has a lot of load and shall not be adjusted under pressure. Either ease the mainsheet or go up to the
wind direction to take the pressure out of the mainsail when adjusting the outhaul line.
Swan neck fitting for cables
Centre cockpit bots have one or more stainless swan neck fittings for cables. It is a good idea to slice a
soft sponge into pieces and put these parts in the swan neck, to prevent water and air to be forced in
under extreme conditions.
