1. Ensure the mast step area is free from any blocks or rope.
2. Lay the mast along the boat with the mast foot near the bow.
3. Attach the shrouds to the shroud points using the upper most holes.
8. Lift the mast out of the boat and stand it up next to the boat.
4. One person should climb into the boat and stand either side of the mast
step, taking care not to stand behind the trolley wheels as the boat will
tip up!
5. The first person should then pass the mast to the person stood in the
boat.
6. The first person then guides the mast step into place
7. The first person then takes forestay and attaches the rig tension
cascade.
