4.3 Rigging the mast.
To complete this section you will require:
• The mast
• A flat bladed screw driver.
Fitting the spreaders.
It is worth taking time over this part to ensure it is correctly completed.
Improperly fitted spreaders will result in strange sailing characteristics and
may even result in failure of the mast.
1. Carefully unpack the spreaders from the top of the mast, being sure not
to damage any of the securing split rings.
2. Unwind the shrouds and forestay from around the mast and unwrap
from the packaging.
3. To fit the spreaders, refer to table 4.1 below and to the following page
as to how to and where to fit the pins.
4. Finally, tape up all the securing pins and rings to prevent them from
being damaged or damaging the spinnaker.
5. Hook the shroud t-terminal into the lower set of holes near the top of
the mast.
6. Hook the trapeze line t-terminal into the upper set of holes near the top
of the mast.
