Mounting your jib (with forestay sewn in). Remove your jib from the
sail bag. With one person at either end of the luff wire, pull the wire tight
and roll the jib tightly around wire. Once it is rolled, secure it with a small
line or webbing strap. Fasten the top of the jib to the hounds shackle
using the long screw pin shackle and furling swivel as shown at right.
Mount the furling drum with stay adjuster to the chainplate on the bow
using a long threaded pin shackle as shown at right.
Mount forestay (or jib). Order when working from hounds shackle
down is:
• Without jib: long ¼” shackle, forestay, stay adjuster, long ¼” shackle, to chain plate.
• With jib: long ¼” shackle, jib furling swivel, jib wire, stay adjuster, furling drum, long ¼”
shackle, to chain plate.
CAUTION!
The mast and rigging on your WindRider 17 Trimaran conduct electricity.
Always look overhead for wires when rigging, transporting, launching and
sailing your WindRider 17 Trimaran.
Step mast by placing casting on ball and securing it with a safety pin, leaving rear of mast
supported by rear mast stand on trailer. Route the main halyard over the shroud wires to one of the
trampoline eyes at the front of the boat (this will be used as a temporary forestay). With rear of shroud
bridles shackled to chain plates, but with forward clips on shroud bridle disconnected from chain
plate, push mast up from front cockpit. Tighten main halyard using cleat on mast and once secure go
forward to pin forestay. Once forestay is secure in top hole of stay adjuster, loosen main halyard.
Tighten the rig by clipping hooks on shroud bridles to forward chain plate. You may want to use
a piece of line to hold bridle down while attaching hooks.
