A strip of blue decorative tape is glued to the
sides of the mast, which can be used to
monitor mast trim. The tape is vulnerable to
chafing. Watch out for this when stepping the
mast, or when the boat is laid up for winter.

Stepping the mast
Prepare the Backstay tackle, as shown in the
diagram on Page 10.
Place a hoisting loop with two eyes around the
mast, equally spaced between the two pairs of
spreaders. Attach the two eyes to the crane hook.
The loop encircles all the lines, and should be
secured to prevent it riding up the mast, by a line
that is belayed to the foot of the mast.
Lengthen the guide lanyard by as much
again when using it. When inserting a
cable or line, the extended lanyard will
be drawn through the mast with it and is
then ready for feeding further
You will save time by having all the
rigging screws unscrewed to the same
length. Remove the lower split pins and
clevis pins from the rigging screw forks.
Use a hoisting loop long enough to drop
back down with the hook, once the mast
is stepped, so that it lies within easy
reach and can be released.
