Assembly Required
The halyard line should be running from
the top of the mast directly to the bow
fitting. Carefully let go of the mast to be
sure that it will stay upright. If not, add
tension to halyard line and re-cleat.
This will hold the mast in the upright
position while you get off the trampoline
to fasten the bridle wires to the bow
fittings.

The bridles should already be attached to
the hulls by this point. Once the mast is
stepped, grab the end of the forestay and
slide it into the adjuster on the bridles and
fasten with a clevis pin. Make sure that the
forestay is not tangled around anything and
that the bridles aren’t twisted in the bow
tangs.

There is a limit to the amount of aft mast
rake. This will be seen when the main sail
block on the sail clew nears or touches the
block attached to the rear crossbar when
fully sheeted while sailing. Too much mast
rake will not allow you to sheet the sail
properly. It may also be more difficult to tack
the boat, as the “mast forward” design is
intended to help bring the bows through the
wind when tacking. Positioning the shrouds
lower will rake (lean) the mast aft. This can
help when sailing in higher winds.
