This is also an “out to trapeze” cunning ham system. So by attaching using with the sister clip the
cunning ham will come with the crew onto trapeze.
16. Thread the mast rotation (yellow) through the tramp eye and cleat, then around the side stay.
Use the spare skippers trapeze shock cord to take up the slack
Your mast should already be fully assembled. If the mast has been shipped directly to you, some fittings may
be required to be fitted to complete the mast. All holes are predrilled and all components and rivets are
supplied. Apply Duralac or anti corrosive paste on the head of the rivet before inserting.
If not already fitted, fit the spreader to their
respective brackets and secure the locknuts
using a 7mm spanner. Note that the
spreaders are pre set to the factory settings.
You will notice two small dabs of epoxy on
the wires. This must be left on for reasons
that will be explained soon.
To fit the diamond wires, the mast should
lie flat. Clip the diamond arm end cap onto
the wire and put your feet at one side of the
mast at either side of the spreader. Pull the
diamond wire until it the cap slides into the
spreader. Secure it with the screw provided.
Repeat this on the other side. You will notice
this takes considerably more strength. Make
sure the spreaders are perpendicular to the
face of the mast and set the diamond
tension (in accordance with the tuning
guide) with the 17mm bolt at the bottom of
the mast base.
