WESTERLY Konsort 29 - Sails; Folding Sails

4 lnternal mast halyards can
magnify the noise of
the
vibration. This
can
be
reduced
by using
internal
polyurethane
foam'cushions'.
SAILS
Your
Westerly
yacht
is
supplied
with Ratsey and
Lapthorn
sails
which, if
treated
with care
and maintained correctly,
will
give
many
seasons
good
service.
Your
sails
will
be
made
from
either
Vectis resinated sailcloth or Supercruise.
Resinated
Sailcloth
This is the
conventional
sailcloth
used and contains
resin
fillers. These
sails must be
folded to
prevent
the
resin
filler
from
breaking up and causing
permanent
creases.
These
creases distort
the
sail shape and
make them
viftually
impossible
to
set.
Supercruise
Supercruise does
not
contain
any
fillers, therefore stows
easily and
remains
crease-free.
lt
should
however, still be
treated with
care.
WARNING:
Do not
smoke
when
working
with
sails.
Cigarette burns cause
expensive
damage
to
sails.
lt is
strongly
recommended
that smoking is not allowed by any
member
of
the
crew when handling
sails.
FOLDING
SAILS
Mainsail
One of
the
easiest methods
of
folding
the mainsail is with it
still on
the
boom:
1
Tighten topping
lift to
support boom.
