ASSEMBLING THE JIB REEFING SYSTEM
- Lay the forestay flat
- Place the parts to be assembled alongside the forestay
- Assemble the drum unit on the forestay and put the rigging screw pin or screw and nut in place (select the chainplate hole that
corresponds to the initial forestay adjustment)
- Slide a bearing into the drum
- Insert a coupling sleeve into the base spar (ensure that the hole in the coupling sleeve is in line with the pre-drilled hole of the
base spar)
- Slide the base spar into the drum unit until the two holes are in line, insert the Chc M5 x 12 screw (after putting some silicone
filler in the hole in order to reduce the stainless steel / aluminium electrolytic couple) and tighten.
- Install the boltrope prefeeder; ensure it is the right way up, see diagram below.
