1.
Locate the mast, as well as the main halyard from the
line bag. Thread one half of the halyard through the hole
in the mast top cap (figure 46).
2. Before stepping the mast make sure that there are
NO OVERHEAD WIRES in the area or leading to the
launching site!
3
. Make sure that the mast step hole and mast heal are
perfectly clean. Any sand, dirt, etc. in the mast step
will grind into the gelcoat and eventually damage the
boat.
4
. Lay the booms and sail on the deck of the Sunfish.
Align the gooseneck on the lower boom over the mast
step hole (Figure 47).
5
. Holding onto both ends of the halyard, lift the mast
up setting the heal of the mast through the gooseneck
ring. Slide the mast into the mast tube (figure 48).
Be
careful not to drop the mast into the tube for damage
to the mast step will occur!
