2. Technical Data
3. Commissioning
3.1 Preparation
Your RS Feva comes complete with all the components necessary to take the boat
sailing. In order to commission it, you will need the following tools:
• Pliers, or a shackle key
• PVC Electrician’s Tape
You may require other tools later, should you wish to make any setting or tuning
adjustments to the boat or the rig. You will also need to tie some particular knots,
such as a
bowline
and a
figure of eight
. If you are unfamiliar with the knot, please
see Appendix 8.5 Three Essential Knots.
DO NOT use a knife or other sharp object to cut through packaging
containing parts – you may damage the contents!
Whilst your RS Feva has been carefully prepared, it is im
port
ant that new owners
should check that
shackles
and knots are tight. This is especially im
port
ant when
the boat is new, as travelling can loosen seemingly tight fittings and knots. It is also
im
port
ant to check such items regularly prior to sailing.
