STANDING RIGGING
Proceed as follows to install or remove the mast on your own:

BEFORE MAST INSTALLATION:

- Protect the mast from chafing with the hook and hoist cable,
- Secure the shrouds and ropes to the mast base with a hitch of sufficient length to
guide the mast foot during handling,
- Protect the spreaders end pieces,
- Install a 1.50 m rope around the mast with a thimble on each and wrapped with
rags. Install the rope below the second tier of spreaders. Connect both thimbles
by means of a sufficiently strong shackle to receive the crane hook, ahead of the
mast. Raise the assembly until it is taut under the spreaders basis.
Before mast installation, be sure to have enough room to move.
Contact or closeness of electric wires may incur electrocution.

DURING MAST INSTALLATION:

- Take all steps necessary to avoid damaging the equipment on mast head,
- Control the handling by means of the backstay and mast base hitch,
- Ensure that the mast base rests fully on its support plate.

AFTER MAST INSTALLATION:

- Check the spreaders for security and position: they must always be above the
horizontal,
- Lubricate all bottlescrews (refer to "Hints", chapter 5),
- Make the shrouds fast (refer to chapter 5 for "Settings"),
- Insert the wires in the cable glands, re-feed the cable glands and connect up the
electrical cables (refer to chapter 8 "Electricity"),
- Carefully check that the bottlescrews securing pins are locked and protected by
adhesive tape.
- Re-install the boom and refit all ropes,
Adjust the mast again after a few trips out to sea.
MAST DISMANTLING:
Proceed in reverse order taking care to mark the rope locations with stickers.
