5- INSTALLATION OF THE REEFING LINE
5.1 Positioning the front deck block
The furling line should be installed as shown.
The furling line should run off at 90° to the forestay and
through the stainless steel guide (fig. X).
(If the line does not run within the guide, please see
paragraph 6.1 below)
.
Fit the front deck as far as possible from the drum. The
furling line should run at 90° to the foil sections with the
line situated at mid-height round the drum as shown.
5.2 Setting the reefing line up
IMPORTANT: First half hitch the furling line (fig. Y)
around the body of the drum. Then, feed the line
through the hole in the top plate and tie a figure eight
knot as shown.
FURL A FEW EXTRA TURNS AROUND THE DRUM.
WHEN THE SAIL IS FURLED UP, THERE SHOULD BE
ALWAYS A FEW TURNS REMAINING AROUND THE
DRUM.

tightening the two lower screws of the drum (see Rep C’ on
