Preparation for Mast Stepping
If you decide to step and tune the mast
yourself, allow sufficient time. Even
professional yachtsmen, working in tandem,
need an entire day for this operation.
The mast comes supplied with fitted halyards,
lazy jacks and topping lift. Shrouds and stays
are fitted, together with their rigging screws. On
boats with fittings above the standard
specification, the masthead halyard, spinnaker
halyard, and pole topping lift are also fitted.
Lay the mast on two supports. Lay out the
shrouds, stays and halyards clearly.
If possible, choose a windless day to step the
mast.

Why not leave commissioning of your
new DEHLER 35CWS, including rigging
& tuning the mast, to trained experts at
one of our service centres?
The Gennaker and mainsail are
particularly at risk from chafe, caused by
prolonged contact with the spreader end
fittings. Protect this area using tape or
spreader boots
