2.2 Rigging the Mast
Your RS 100 mast consists of 3 component sections: The short base section is used
only in conjunction with the 10.2m sail, and if you are using this sail, then insert this
short base section into the lower main mast. The mast base plug is already supplied
attached to this base section. However, if you are using the 8.4m sail you will need
to extract the mast base plug and plug it into the base of the lower main mast.
Whichever sail you use it is wise to tape the base plug onto the mast – so that it
remains in place when the mast is taken out of the boat.
8.4m sailors should stow the short base section safely – whilst you do not
need to use it, you will need it for resale of the boat or of course if you wish to
use the 10.2m sail
Now slide the 2 main mast sections
together, taking care to push them fully
together, which should ensure the mast
track sections are properly aligned. The
photo on the left shows short mast base
section used with the 10.2m sail with the
heel plug. Remember to tape the heel plug
in place.
