Preparation Of The Mast - Hobie TIGER Assembly Manual

1.
Lay the mast on top of the boat with the sail track
to the bottom and the mast base toward the
bows. Place padding under the mast to prevent
scratching.
2. Lay the shroud wires and trapeze wires down
each side of the mast. Secure the trapeze wires
temporarily near the base of the mast.
NB: Ensure that the hole in the furler housing is facing towards
the front crossbar.Now also is a good time to roll some line onto
the furler drum. Leave enough line unfurled to reach the front
The cleat for the jib furler is located at the left side of the front
cross bar. The furler line passes under the cross bar and through
a small eyelet in the trampoline. Directly above the eyelet is a
small black cleat. Pass the line through the cleat and tie a figure
eight knot in the end. This will prevent the line from falling out.

Preparation of the Mast

3.
Ensure that the shroud anchor pins are sealed,
tight and pointing at 90° to the centreline of the
hull. Attach the twist toggles to the anchor pins
using the clevis pins and rings. If you have the
optional spinnaker kit use the 6-mm bow shac-
kles provided instead of the clevis pins.
Attach the stay adjusters to the twist toggles
with the clevis pins and rings.
Attach both shrouds into the top hole of the
respective stay adjusters. This is only a tempo-
rary position for raising the mast.

Attach the bridle wires to the bow tangs.
