2. COMMISSIONING
2.1 Preparation
Your RS100 comes complete with all the components necessary to take the boat
sailing. In order to commission it, you will need the following tools:
• Pliers, or a shackle key
• Pozi-drive screwdriver
• PVC Electrician’s Tape
Should your RS100 require roping out, you will also need a 3mm splicing fid,
and the supplementary instructions. If it has already been roped out and
prepared, it is still wise to check knots and lashings, and tighten shackles yourself
prior to commissioning. This is especially important when the boat is new, as
travelling can loosen seemingly tight fittings and knots. It is also important to check
such items regularly prior to sailing.
You will also need to tie some particular knots, such as a bowline or a figure-of-eight
during regular rigging. If you are unfamiliar with the knot, please see Appendix 9.3
Three Essential Knots.
DO NOT use a knife or other sharp object to cut through packaging containing parts –
you may damage the contents!
