7. Raise the mast and position the mast heel
on the mast step. The mast heel
recess/slot should straddle the bolt in the
mast step. (Note - This is a two person
operation as someone will need to
hold the mast upright while shrouds
and forestay are connected - Ensure
that there are no overhead power
cables)
8. Attach the shrouds to the shroud anchor point with the adjuster pin
position in the 4th hole down on the back of the vernier adjuster.
9. Temporarily attach the forestay around the jib
tack bar. (Not the furling drum)
10. Shackle the lower
shrouds to the
shroud anchor point.
The shackle goes in
between the vernier
adjuster and ratchet
block. (The ratchet
block should always
be at the front.)
11. Loosely tie the other end of the
lower shrouds to front of mast.
(Note: The lower shroud
tension is adjusted after the
jib halyard has been
tensioned.)
