IV - FITTING THE MAINSAIL

 

Please check again that the foot track rear end  has been smooth filed before starting inserting the

foot tape into the mandrel’s foot track.

CAUTION : before operating the PROFURL in-boom reefing system please make sure that :

1)

 

the mainsail construction and design are in accordance with the attached specifications. Please
refer to attached mainsail design specifications.

2)

 

the boomvang angle adjustment ( see § 

VI

 ) is correct. This adjustment is an essential point to get

a good quality furling of the mainsail as well as ease of operation.

IV 1 

- Turn the mandrel (16) by hand so that the foot track of mandrel is upwards.

IV 2

 - Do not yet insert the mainsail battens into the batten pockets.

IV 3 

- Insert the tack slide (38) with the “hook” to the front into the tack webbing of the sail. Insert

together both webbing and tack slide into the port side foot track. Please see drawing 15.

IV 4

 - Insert the bolt rope foot tape into the track and gently pull the sail forward.

IV 5

 - Once almost at the end insert the clew slide (39) into the clew webbing so that the webbing is

locked between the two small plastic cylinders of the clew slide (39), and insert the clew slide into the
groove of the mandrel (16). Please see drawing 16.

IV 6

 - Lock the “flat” part of the tack slide to port into the machining of the front end of the foot track and

pull the sail backwards to lock.

IV 7 

- Slide the « finger » of the clew pin (43) with the ring upwards into the foot track (16). Please see

drawing 16.
