REEF SHAKING OUT
- Make the mainsail closer to the eye of the wind, either steering the
boat or using the traveller.
- Ease off the mainsheet.
- Tighten the topping lift.
- Ease off the tack and leech reef pendants.
- Hoist the mainsail, then close the jammer.
- Slacken off the topping lift.

CRUISING SQUARE TOP MAINSAIL
The cruising square top mainsail halyard is lashed on the eyelet of the
sail, not on the headboard traveller.
The square top will be properly set automatically once the sail is
hoisted up.
FITTING OF THE MAINSAIL CRUISING SQUARE TOP SYSTEM
Refer to the drawing on the opposite page.
- Remove the pin of the headboard car (mark A).
- Make the 2 strand tackle as per the drawing on the opposite page.
- Put back the headboard car pin (mark A), adding the sheave.
The length of the headboard line is adjusted to the right dimension for
a new sail at the sailmaker’s.
The lashing (mark D) makes possible to make up for the possible
lengthening of the rope due to ageing.
Nota: this system is patented by the INCIDENCES sailmaker.
z
ROLLER FURLING GENOA
Hoist the genoa before you get under way, taking advantage of a
windless period of time.
- Secure the head.
- Secure the halyard to the slide-swivel.
- Secure the tack to the drum and secure the sheets.
- Insert carefully the bolt rope into the hole, hoist the sail and take
care you do not tear it.
- Haul the halyard taut enough but sway it up less than a sail on a
standard stay.
- Hoist it until the horizontal creases disappear (the tension of the luff
shall be adjusted after a few sea trips).
- Pull on the line from the cockpit to furl the genoa.
WARNING
A cruising square top mainsail has a more important
power than a standard mainsail.
Shorten the sail earlier depending on the wind
conditions.

RECOMMENDATION
Hand pre roll the drum to set the genoa furling line
on it.
Pay attention to the drum furling direction: the
sacrificial strip of the genoa shall be wrapped
outside.
Never force when you furl or unfurl the head sails in
case it seizes. Make sure a halyard is not caught in
the roller furler.
