Use the Code-0 halyard, which is just above the forestay – the next halyard up is
ONLY for spinnaker.
MANUAL FURLING CODE-0:
Set the Code-0 luff tight and make sure to immediately install the endless furling
line system, which you lead back on the boat and fix this with the chock cord
onto and around the back aft mooring cleat. When the endless furling line is in
position – make sure to fix the one furling line in the Code-0 furler cleat on port
side aft main hull, that now is furling the Code-0. This is very important, so you
avoid the Code-0 to furl out when not needed.
To furl out the Code-0, just release or open the furling line cleat and pull the
Code-0 sheet – and you are now sailing.
Going beam reach on longer distance, maybe use both sheets on the same side.
This way, you have one sheet in the Code-0 sheet block and the other sheet in
the spinnaker block, and, like this you can better adjust the sheeting more open
or closer – works well.
ELECTRIC CODE-O:
For the electric Code-O system, this is just too easy to operate, where you must
furl it out and in by the two electric Code-O control buttons.
When furling out, you must focus to just furl it out, so the sail is fully open – not
more – not less.
When furling in the Code-O is very easy, but make sure the sheets are running
freely as it only takes 15 seconds to furl this big sail. Wherever you stop furling
the electric Code-O, the sail will stay in that position, no further locking is
needed.
FURL IN THE CODE-0:
NEVER furl the Code-0 when going up into the wind – ALWAYS furl the Code-0
in when going downwind – this makes it much easier and safer. Again,
remember for the manual system to “lock” the furling line cleat when furling is
completed.
To make the furling system work better overtime – always furl the Code-0 in the
same direction, as this is better for the torsion Code-0 luff line. If the Code-0 has
UV-protection, make sure to furl clockwise so the UV-material protects the sail.
