Mast stepping
If later you have to step the mast anywhere other than at your
LAGOON dealer, proceed as follows:
z
BEFORE MAST STEPPING
- Protect the mast against possible chafing by the crane hook and
cable.
- Tie down the shrouds and all the riggings to the base of the mast
with lashing long enough to guide the mast heel when stepping the
mast.
- Protect the spreader end fittings and the roller furler drum.
- Pass round the mast a line of about 1.50 m with an eye and thimble
at both ends and covered with rags ; place this rope over the cross
tree step.
- Link together both thimbles (in front of the mast) with a shackle
large enough to receive the crane hook.
- Raise the whole till it is taut under the spreader bases.
z
DURING MAST STEPPING
- Take the necessary steps to avoid damaging the mast head
equipment.
- Use the backstay and lashing at the base of the mast to control the
handling.
- Engage the electrical harness in the mast base.
- Ensure the base of the mast bears fully on its base plate.
