RIGGING / SAILS
n 3.2 Standing rigging
The LAGOON 46 has been adjusted by the preparer or the mast
manufacturer when first masting.
The cables stretch a little during the first sailings. Therefore it is
advisable to have the mast inspected and adjusted by a specialist.
Before you put out to sea, it is essential to make sure that the standing
rigging is in good condition: inspect the turnbuckles and check the
condition of the shrouds.
To hoist a crew member up to the top of the mast, use the topping lift.
Belay the crew member with a bowline on the bosun’s chair ring (do
not use snap shackle or shackle).
RECOMMENDATION
Any intervention on the standing rigging comes
within a specialist remit.
