• FURLING GENOA
Before getting under way take advantage of a windless period of
time and hoist the genoa.
Hand pre-roll the drum to set the furling line on it.
Pay attention to the drum winding direction: The sacrificial strip of
the genoa shall be wrapped outside.
- Secure the head and halyard to the swivel. Secure the tack to the
drum and sheets.
- Insert the bolt rope into the hole and hoist it and take care that you
do not tear it.
- Have the halyard taut enough but hoist less taut than a sail on a
normal stay.
Hoist it until the horizontal creases disappear (Adjust the tension of
the luff after a few sea trips).
- Before you furl the genoa, remove the ring that is used to guide the
bolt rope. Keep this ring in a safe place and put it back before any
handling (lowering etc.).
- Pull on the line from the cockpit to furl the genoa.
Never force it in case it seizes when you furl or unfurl the head sails.
Make sure a halyard is not jammed in the furler. Verify that the sail
is not too much tarque.
• MAINTENANCE
- Regularly rinse the drum and swivel.
- Lubricate the bearings if recommended by the manufacturer.
- Unrig the sails if your boat is not to be used for long.
• MAINSAIL
To hoist the mainsail:
- Head into the wind.
- Slacken the mainsail sheet.
- Hoist the sail taking care that the battens do not catch up on the
lazy-jacks.
• GENNAKER
Before getting under way take advantage of a windless period of
time and hoist the genoa.
- Fix the chain swivel to the gennaker head.
- Fix the halyard to the head chain swivel.
- Put the take-up drum on to the spar with a snap shackle.
- Fix the halyard to the head chain swivel.
- Hoist the gennaker.
Use the take-up drum stopper to furl or unfurl the gennaker.
• SHEETS
- Fix the sheets to the gennaker clews.
- Thread the sheets around the outside of the stay and of the
shrouds and over the jack-lines.
- Fasten the sheet return blocks to the bolts.
- Lead the sheets back to the Genoa sheet winches.

WARNING
De-rig the gennaker when not in use (danger of damage
through UV rays and accidental unfurling).
