stays stable and does not tilt over. Roll the mast back slowly and again it works out
best if another person is holding the forestay in the moving process.
• When the mast foot on the mast aligns with the mast base on the deck, you can push
the mast down, by sitting on top of the mast and push the mast into the mast base
pivot fitting and secure it with the one locking pin. When installed correct, there is a
piece of stainless coming out and sticking up over the mast section with an eye for
the mainsail boom later on. Now the mast is fixed in position and you can step off the
mast.
• Install the side-deck stainless support pole on the starboard side cabin walking deck
(optional equipment), where you screw the support pole into the side deck fitting, so
the support pole is vertical (not into the 45° angled water fill fitting). The two top
stainless O-rings has to point fore and aft – on boats build in 2017 and thereafter
there is a locking system to prevent this stainless tube to turn.
• Take the big and longer Ø 50 mm aluminum mast support pole and click it into the
stainless hole/eye on the lower spreader on SB-side and thereafter into the aft/back
ring of the two stainless rings on stainless support pole on the deck. Now the mast is
supported sideways. Double check now that the end fittings on the aluminum pole
are fully locked.
• Take the mainsail boom and fit the forward gooseneck end on the mainsail boom to
the mast pivot fitting end that is sticking up from the mast base on the mast. Just
secure the boom with the bolt on the mainsail boom. Just rest the other end of the
boom on the pulpit.
• Mast-raising block and pulley system! Secure the single line block with a snap shackle
in the stainless eye on the underside of the boom (just in front of the mainsheet
webbing). Then fit the other mast raising block where the line is installed with a knot,
install this snap shackle block at the stainless-steel lead by the forward SB-pulpit foot
by the deck level. Then lead the line (25 m of 8 mm line) over the coach roof through
one of the available halyard stopper and to the SB-side deck winch (through the
cutout under the sprayhood trim).
• Now take the spinnaker halyard and fit/install this at the bigger shackle at the end of
the mainsail boom – NOT at the very end of the mainsail boom but at the shackle
where the mainsail outhaul line is secured to.
• Install the smaller aluminum boom support pole onto the forward eye of the stainless
side support pole on the deck and then lift the mainsail boom and move it a bit to
port side. This sideway aluminum support pole will now fit into the stainless folding
eye on the side of the mainsail boom. Double check that the end fittings are locked.
Now you can lift the mainsail boom to an upright position and secure the boom fore
and aft with the spinnaker halyard, and please fasten and secure the spinnaker
