Centre Toe strap
Remove standard ratchet block and unscrew the mainsheet block attachment
plate. Remove the standard toe strap and replace with the padded Sport strap.
Before re-screwing the mainsheet plate and toe strap apply silicone sealant to the
screw holes. This is to avoid potential leaking.
Warning:
Please take care not to over-tighten the screws. Screws should be
“Finger tight”. Over-tightening can strip the thread in the plastic.
Sport “stand-up” mainsheet Block boot
1) Place the mainsheet block stand up boot over the mainsheet block attachment
point.
2) Remove the shackle from the base of the sport mainsheet block and shackle to
the mainsheet attachment point. To get access to the attachment point you will
have to compress the mainsheet boot.
3) Thread the mainsheet through the ratchet block and tie a figure of eight knot.
You will find a small black slide on the side of the ratchet block. This turns the
ratchet on and off. Ensure that the ratchet “Click-clicks” when the mainsheet is
pulled out to the cleats.
