fully resting down and touch the mast base on the deck in the center, just twist the
mast from side to side by holding on to the side diamond stays – and twist from side
to side and normally the mast will “fall” down to its correct position.
• When the mast is fully up, just pull enough in the mast raising line and fix this line in
the halyard stopper /jammer on the cabin top, so you now can get the forestay bolt
fixed in position and secured. Make sure to install the old fashion Cleves pin here with
the 2-leg locking pin and these pins must both be twisted for safety and taped well.
• And now – it is time for a beer!!
• To finish the process, remove the aluminum mast support in the cockpit.
• Remove the big spinnaker pole that support the mast, if this is a bit tight, then just
pull a bit by hand in one of the side stays to take off the tension on the spinnaker pole
– and now it´s easy to clip off.
• Then remove the smaller pole on the mainsail boom, so now you can actually leave
the spinnaker halyard on the mainsail boom and now just swing the mainsail boom
around and back in the normal boom “position” and fix the mainsail boom to the
mast at the Gooseneck mast boom fitting.
• Before you go sailing it is VERY IMPOORTANT to unfold the floats, one at a time, then
take the spinnaker or Code-O halyard and fix this to the aft Wing (Aka) and just tighten
this halyard easy by hand only, so you can now undo the side stay away from the float
side stay fitting so you can remove the 8mm Quicklink that we asked you to install
during the mast stepping process. The same goes for the other side .This Quicklink is
no longer necessary and MUST be removed before you go sailing.
• Make sure to install the Backstay line and block system before you motor and or sail
away from the dock. This is also very IMPORTANT.
• May we strongly recommend you and the persons who help you stepping the mast
to put your phones completely away so you only focus on this process only. We have
seen people forget things in the process due to mobile disturbance. Thank you.
