k) Satisfy yourself that the two shrouds are not obstructed or twisted (of
course the same applies to the trapeze equipment as well if you have
installed it) and fix them to the two plates on both sides of the frame
using the shackles on the shroud ten-sioners
(35 - 37) .
TIP
Both shroud tensioners have been adjusted and fixed in the factory. On
very rigorous use of the
smartkat it can become necessary to readjust these
shroud tensioners. However, only carry out this work when the
smartkat has been completely assembled.
Adjust the shroud tensioners that the mast does not lean even to the
right or left side.
For the best performance the mast should stay in a 5 – 10 degree
position to the back.
l) Stand the mast with the mast foot in the holder provided in the
middle of the front frame tube. (38 - 39) .
Then hang the karabiner of the headsail tensioner (the rope with which
the headsail is set) in the loop on the headsail and pull the headsail luff
over the roller on the furler and secure the luff loosely over the clamp.
