B. STEPPING
Lifting the mast with the crane is an operation which needs attention and concentration. At least
three persons are needed for this operation.
You should never step a mast in windy condition and the boat must be exactly under the crane.
The mast should be placed with the front facing up and the luff-groove facing down. The lifting
strop should be made from suitable rope.
Apply Tef-Gel on the thread of the turnbuckle before tunning. Secure them properly at the end
of the tuning.
Tools list:
- full set of hex keys
- full set of keys
- Adjustable wrench
- Plier
Before the stepping
a. Check that all the turnbuckles are in a fully open position.
b. Protect the lower part of the mast with a piece of carpet (up to the top of the mast's
collar in case it is placed on the keel).
c. Protect the spreaders against friction of headstay and running rigging.
d. Arrange the halyards and the cables along the mast.
