Launch and assembly information
STEPPING THE MAST:
Quorning Boats ONLY recommends stepping the mast by yourself when using blocks, lines
and special supports, that are optional equipment supplied by Quorning Boats. If a crane is
available, we recommend using this. The mast can be stepped on the boat, but at owner's
responsibility using this handbook as a guideline to raise and lower the mast.
On our website WWW.DRAGONFLY.DK there is also a full video of stepping the mast and
other launch info like also mount sails etc.
FORESTAY AND SIDESTAYS:
Forestay and side stays are mounted in the same stainless fitting on the mast, where the
three upper diamond stays each with an 8 mm Quicklink is installed. Over these you find 3
open holes where you install the forestay in the centre eye and the two side stays one on
each available fitting – and this 8 mm Quicklink on the side stays has to be secured and
tightened with a "key" No 14 and best with some Locktite.
SETTING THE GENOA :
Before hoisting the genoa, make sure to roll some furling line on the furling drum. Turn the
head foil clockwise until you have about one metre (approx. three feet) line left in the
cockpit. This way you are able to furl the genoa at once when the Genoa is hoisted. The luff
is mounted by the shackle over the furling drum. Tension is adjusted via the Genoa halyard
in the cockpit.
MOUNTING THE MAINSAIL:
The mainsail is placed either on the mainsail boom between the lazy-jacks and or just on the
trampoline. Start from the top of the sail. Make sure the boat is facing into the wind. Mount
the top of the mainsail to the upper top double batten car on the mast. Then hoist the
mainsail to the next batten car, fit the next batten car etc. etc. Please note that on the top
first sail batten, the link to the batten car is mounted with the nut facing DOWN – and on all
the others the nut is facing UP.
Remember to fit the two reefing lines in the mainsail sail.
