WINCHES
OPERATION
Avoid rope jamming during winch handling. Do not leave loose ropes on the winches but
make them fast on cleats (except on the ’’Self Tailing’’ winches).
SETTING THE SAILS
CLASSICAL MAINSAIL
With the mainsail being on the deck:
- Screw the pins of the mast sliders for battens into their boxes.
- Slide in the battens through the leech.
- Screw the box cap until you get the required tension (the tightening screw shall not
project beyond the sail).
- Do not forget the small locking screw.
- Put the mainsail into the lazy-bag.
- Fit the mainsail onto its slides, begin with the headboard and finish with the tack.
WARNING
-Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to remove the winches and put
them back.
Improper refitting may result in accidents (e.g. kick of the crank handle).
