3. Using the Seascape 18
3.1. Protecting the sails
On the bow there are several pointy things that can tear gennaker if not properly protected. Use
the electrical or self vulcanizing tape to protect all the sharp objects in the way of the gennaker.
3.2. Using the keel
Make sure you are in comfortable and stable position before you operate the keel winch. Force on
the winch handle is not big but you have to make sure you don’t let it go while unwinding/droping
the keel. Use the clutch (left photo) to select the ratchet position. Aplly small force on the handle
when changing direction of the ratchet.
Working position of the keel is 17 turns from the upmost position. It shall remain droped with
about 10 degrees aft angle to keep stable position.
