FINAL ADJUSTMENT
Figure 8a, 8b, 8c
With the cover zipped, stand back and examine the set of the cover. The top edge of the
acrylic cover should run fairly straight from the mast to clew.
Adjust the forward cover lines to support this end at a comfortable height. The cover
should be upright, with these lines just taking a load. (See Figure 8c). With the line
attached to webbing loop at the aft end, use a rolling hitch around topping lift and tie off to
other webbing loop. This line need only be tight enough to keep the aft end from
sagging or flopping.
CAUTION: Always tie rolling hitch to the part of the topping lift which dead ends on the
boom. Otherwise, this line will try to hold the boom up when topping lift is eased, risking
damage to the cover.
A final adjustment to the lazy jacks at the cleats may be needed to remove any sag (note
Figure 8b) or bow (note Figure 8a) in the top edge of the cover.
