Install rudder by first sliding 3/8” long bushing and then 10.75” long
bearing tube over shaft. Slide shaft in from under boat. Now slip 1/8” thick
bushing washer over shaft and rudder head onto shaft. Rudder head
should have the front angling downward.
Routing the mainsheet
Clip the single block with becket (shown on the boom in this photo) to
the back of the rear cockpit rim, with the block hanging aft. Uncoil the
mainsheet (3/8" white line with black flecks, 33' long) and stand on the
starboard side of the rear cockpit to begin routing the sheet.
Pass the end of the sheet down past the cam cleat found on the beam
gusset and into the cheek block.
From this cheek block run the line aft and through the single
block on the starboard side of the rear deck.
Now run the line through the large sheave in the single block with
becket clipped to the cockpit rim and down into the front of the single
block mounted on the port side of the rear deck.
Finally, tie the end of the line to the becket using a bowline. A figure
eight "stopper" now should be tied in the end of the line that exits the cam
cleat. Once the sail is raised and the mainsheet is clipped to the boom,
the sheet will appear as shown at right.
Attach shroud bridles (2 short wires attached to 1.25” stainless ring) to chain plates using
shackle on rear chain plate, and the clip through the forward chain plate. (Clips should be removed
from forward chain plates to loosen the rigging while stepping the mast.) Always slide the plastic
tubing down over the shackle or clip and chain plate to assure they do not topple over on the lee side
of the boat. If the clip is not contained within the plastic tube, it may be side-loaded and bend.
Mount shrouds to mast using large 5/16” hounds shackle provided. Run shrouds to shroud
bridles and attach top hole of stay adjuster.
