• For your information, only use the genoa barber haul system on beam
reach and or downwind and dead downwind for butterfly setup – never
upwind.
• To activate and pull out the genoa, always OPEN/release the furling line on
its jammer/clutch by the SB side halyards. Then you just pull the genoa
sheet, and the genoa will unfurl and be active.
• For electric furler system, only unfurl the sail by using the electric system.
• ONLY furl up the genoa when the genoa sheet is released + also the barber
haul control line. For easier furling, go more downwind and furl.
ALWAYS make sure that you NEVER leave the boat, before the genoa furling
jammer/clutch is 100% safely closed, so the genoa in windy condition does not
roll out by itself, with no one aboard. This can cause the boat to capsize in a
folded position. The electric furler will automatically keep the furling system
stopped at the position where it is set.
MAST TRIMMING:
The special Dragonfly Carbon mast spreader system is always trimmed and
adjusted from the yard, but generally the mast must bend approx. 7 cm in full
length, when no sails are set.
DO NOT change the trim on the Diamond stays, as this can/will cause mast
failure. The mainsail supplied by Quorning Boats is specially designed for this
mast curve.
The mast curve looks a bit strange with no mainsail set, as the top of the mast
looks like it bends a bit forward, but with full mainsail set, the mast becomes a
full nice mast curve. However, when mainsail is reefed, the mast curve looks a bit
strange again, but is normal for this type of mast design/construction.
USING THE BACKSTAY:
The combined side stay/backstay system has been developed because of the
Swing-Wing system to enable easy and quick trimming of the side stay/backstay’s
tension when folding.
Only start to pull backstays real tight when BOTH floats are fully open and
secured.
