Install drain plugs. Ensure that the threads are clean and that
they have the gasket or “O” ring fitted. Tighten firmly by hand.
Overtightening can cause the gasket to deform or it may break
the seal between the plug housing and the hull.
Tie one end of the righting line to the dolphin
striker post. Pass the other end of the line up
through the nearest trampoline grommet and
stow all excess in one of the trampoline
pockets.
Tie the cunningham line to the grommet in
the sail tack using a bowline knot or similar.
Pass the line down around the cunningham
cleat and back through the grommet. Pull
down on the line, apply sufficient tension to
remove wrinkles from the sail luff and cleat
off at cunningham cleat.
