lr is quite satisfactoty to lay up the yacht afloat in conditions
where some ice will form, but care should be taken to prevent
abrasion around the waterline due to thin surface ice if
moored openly. lf moored alongside,efforts shoul.d be made
to pretrent chafe by springs over the toe rail by parcelling
springs and lifting them clear of the rail.
In most Marinas it is possible to rent small electric heaters
which are permanently plugged into the sh,ore mains. This
keeps the yacht sweet and dry below.
ln icing conditions it is important that all fresh water
rystems be carefully draineci. Pump covers should be eased
off, seacocks closed. engine drain cocks opened, exhaust drain
cock opened (lever across), galley pump piping released,
pressure sy_stem and water heater drained.
Sails should be moved ashore if the yacht is not heated and

Masts should be cleaned down in the Spring, also the stan
ing rigging.
Mainmast
The longest wire is the backstay and is to be threaded
through the saddle on the mizzen mast to the deck fitting
The longer of the two lower shrouds is the aft one. The
masthead shrouds lead to the centre chainplate. The forc
stay is taken to the forward most hole in the stemhead
f i t t i n g .
Mizzen
The two cap shrouds lead to the forward most chainplate
The forward lower shroudi lead to the lug on the foremos
chain-plate. The aft lower shrouds which ere the shortest
lead to the small chain-plates. The mizien backsrays with
releasable screws lead to tho attermost chain pletli lnd rrl
attached through shackles on the chain.plates. The mizren
mast is stepped in the shoe with rubber lining.
