4. COMMISSIONING
4.1 Preparation.
Your RS Tera comes complete with all the components necessary to take the boat sailing.
Whilst your RS Tera has been carefully prepared, it is important that new owners should
check that shackles and knots are tight. 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 prior to sailing regularly.
4.2 Unpacking.
Having unpacked your RS Tera, you should check that you have all of the items listed
below before throwing away any of the packing, as there may be some small items still
wrapped.
• 1 x RS Tera hull
• 1 x two-piece mast
• 1 x boom
• 1x boom pad
• 1 x rudder, with stock and tiller extension
• I x daggerboard
• 1 x main sail (Sport or Pro)
• 1 x rope pack – consisting of:
Caution
When sailing, take care to avoid being hit on the head by the boom, particularly
during a gybe. The boom is fitted with a boom pad to reduce the likelihood of
an injury, but care must still be taken when it is windy.
DO NOT use a knife or other sharp object to cut through packaging containing
parts – you may damage the contents!
