Fitting the Spinnaker Halyard
a)
Using some spare line, tie the spinnaker halyard onto
the bow stem tting.
This will act as a temporary forestay.
BEFORE LOWERING 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 lowered.
A minimum of 2 people are needed to step the mast.
It is easiest to lower the mast with the keel down so you can lay the mast centrally in
the boat.
Note:
