RIGGING / SAILS
l
ROLLER FURLING JIB
Hoist the jib before you get under way, taking advantage of a windless
period of time.
- Secure the head.
- Secure the halyard to the slide-swivel.
- Secure the tack to the drum and secure the sheets.
- Insert carefully the bolt rope into the hole, hoist the jib and take care
you do not tear it.
- Haul the halyard taut enough but sway it up less than a sail on a
standard stay.
- Hoist it until the horizontal creases disappear (the tension of the luff
shall be adjusted after a few sea trips).
- Pull on the line from the cockpit to furl the jib.
l
CRUISING SQUARE TOP MAINSAIL (OPTIONAL EXTRA)
The cruising square top mainsail halyard is lashed on the eyelet of the
sail, not on the headboard traveller.
The square top will be properly set automatically once the sail is
hoisted up.
FITTING OF THE MAINSAIL CRUISING SQUARE TOP SYSTEM
Refer to the drawing on the opposite page.
- Remove the pin of the headboard car (mark A).
- Make the 2 strand tackle as per the drawing on the opposite page.
- Put back the headboard car pin (mark A), adding the sheave.
The length of the headboard line is adjusted to the right dimension for
a new sail at the sailmaker’s.
The lashing (mark B) makes possible to make up for the possible
lengthening of the rope due to ageing.
Nota: this system is patented by the INCIDENCES sailmaker.

RECOMMENDATION
Hand pre roll the drum to set the genoa furling line
on it.
Pay attention to the drum furling direction: the
sacrificial strip of the jib shall be wrapped outside.
Never force when you furl or unfurl the head sails in
case it seizes.
Make sure a halyard is not caught in the roller
furler.
WARNING
A cruising square top mainsail has a more important
power than a standard mainsail.
Shorten the sail earlier depending on the wind
conditions.
