SAIL SETTING
FURLING MAINSAIL (IN-MAST ROLLER FURLER VERSION)
- Remove the hatch giving access to the furling mechanism.
- Spread out the sail on the deck.
- Fasten the head (strap) to the shackle of the upper swivel. Pay attention to the winding direction.
- Insert the foot adjustment line into the clew block.
- Slowly hoist the sail. Guide the bolt rope (sometimes the groove leading edges may be insufficiently
smoothed off).
- When the sail is up, tack it to the lower shackle.
- Gently sweat up the halyard.
- Refit the hatch.
- Furl the sail facing the wind and keeping a very slight tension on the foot. The main sheet must be
eased off.
ADVICE: When the sail is unfurled, adjust the halyard tightness.
RECOMMENDATION
Too much tightness may cause furling problems. After sailing, slightly slacken the halyard.
