1) Install bow spreader tangs on each
bow under existing bridle wire tang as
shown. Pin faces towards center.
3) With swivel cleat mounted to
plate, install jib sheet jam
cleat plate under existing
trampoline hook* as shown. This is
installed under center of three tramp
hooks. Use the upper two of four holes
in the plate. (*For installation on Club
Wave see page two...)
2) With trampoline loosened, force hulls
apart and place bow spreader in
position on pins installed on bows
5) Install Jib halyard cleat. Loosen downhaul cleat and slide down luff track in mast. Place new cleat above
and tighten in place of downhaul cleat. Tighten original cleat at lower location. Use lower cleat for jib
halyard cleat.
6) Run halyard through halyard block and tie off ends at lower cleat. Install halyard shackle. Step mast.
7) Clip jib tack to spreader pole eye strap at center of pole. Attach jib hank to forestay. Shackle halyard to jib
head and hoist. Tension lightly and cleat to lower cleat in luff track.
8) Tie one end of jib sheet to jib clew. Run sheet aft to (inside of shroud wire) to swivel jam thru dead eye
first then out jaws towards center of boat. Pass line across trampoline to other swivel cleat. Run line thru
jaws first then dead eye. Run line forward (inside shroud) to jib clew and tie off.
NOTE: Some very early model boats will require installation of an
inspection port to access nuts on inside of hull behind the tramp
hook. Some model years have a threaded insert imbedded in
hull. Boats with inserts will be identified by two small plugs at
same location on opposite side of each hull from center tramp
hook. Latest versions (2005) use sheet metal screws that don’t
require nuts or inserts.
4) Install jib halyard
block on pig tail
and place pigtail on
shroud shackle
next to forestay
wire and between
the two shroud
wires. It is a tight fit
but works great.
