4. Checking the hull
Check that the 3 hatches and transom drain
bung are fully screwed into the hull. It is
advisable to apply a small amount of Vaseline
or other nonstaining lubricant to the threads
on a regular basis. (fi gure 1a) (fi gure 1b)

mast, making sure that the red arrows
align.
(fi gure 2a) (fi gure 2b)

read the jib halyard through the halyard
plate eye on the upper mast. Take one end of the
halyard and pass it through the halyard cleat on
the port side of the lower mast and tie the 2 free
ends together.
(fi gure 3a) (fi gure 3b)
3. Unfold the mainsail (try to keep it clean and
dry) and sleeve it over the top of the mast and
jib halyard, making sure that the mast stays
together. Slide the sail down over the mast,
with the cunningham D-ring on the sail facing
forward in line with the cleat at the center and
bottom of the mast.

Insert the 3 battens into the batten pockets on
the mainsail and ensure that the end of the
batten engages into the fold in the outer end of
the pocket.

fi gure 8 knot in the part that goes through the
cleat. Pull the noncleated rope end out from
under the sail at the halyard exit point in the
sail. Rethread the jib halyard, throw the eye and
back down outside the sail. Tie the free end of
the halyard to the end that has passed through
the cleat.

bowline loop in the end of the rope and add a
small amount of tension.
