WOOD CHOCKS ARE NOT AN ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF CHOCKING THE MAST AT
THE PARTNERS. USE ONLY SPARTITE TO CHOCK YOUR CARBON FIBER MAST AS
WOOD OR OTHER CHOCKS CAN POINT LOAD AND DAMAGE THE MAST.
Lower the crane cable sufficiently to allow the sling to be lowered and released, taking care that the sling
and hook does not damage the steaming light on the forward side of the mast. It may be necessary to
retrieve the sling by sending a person aloft in a bosun’s chair. Connect the lower shrouds and snug up all
turnbuckles by hand. Replace all cotter pins into the clevis pins. To prevent damage to sails, insert all
clevis pins with the heads forward or outboard, and tape over the bent cotter pins. Release the bundle of
running rigging and lead each line fairly to the appropriate blocks, stoppers and winches. Connect the
mast electrical wires and test each circuit. Attach the mast collar tie-down straps to the mast below deck,
make hand tight.
f) To un-step the spar, reverse the above procedure. Before removing the spar for winter storage, make a
diagram of the location of the running rigging and the connections of the electrical wiring to serve as a
guide when re-stepping the mast. Mark the turnbuckle screws with black electrical tape to facilitate
returning to the same position on re-stepping. Do not use masking or filament tape on the spar as it may
harm the surface finish. Do not expose a spar wrapped in plastic to direct sunlight. When storing the spar
for the off season, do not allow water to be trapped against the painted finish. Trapped water will fog and
blister the paint.
