With the mast now secure, the
trapeze wires can be fitted with
the handles, rope locks and
ajuster lines as shown in the
photograph. Use a bowline knot
to secure the line to the trapeze
shock cord.
Now the rig can be tensioned. One person can pull
down on a trapeze handle whilst the other person re
positions the clevis pin in the stay adjuster. Ensure
that the two shrouds are pinned at the same height
in both adjusters. If too much tension is applied it
may become difficult for the mast to rotate freely.
Check this before proceeding with raising the sail.

The height of trapezing can be

tion of the rope lock.
