4.7.1 - Stepping the Mast
BEFORE STEPPING THE MAST, CHECK THAT YOU ARE
NOT IN THE VICINITY OF OVERHEAD POWER CABLES
REMEMBER
Check that both ends of the main halyard, jib halyard, and gennaker halyard are
tied o at the bottom end of the mast so that they are within easy reach when
the mast is stepped.
A minimum of 2 people are needed to step the mast.
It is easiest to step the mast with the keel down so you can lay the mast centrally in
the boat.
If you need to step the mast with the keel up you will nd instructions in section 4.7.2.
Note:
a)
Lay the dressed mast on the boat with the heel just in front of the mast step.
