Mast Float Usage & Fitment Recommendations - LaserPerformance Funboat Owner's Manual

Mast Float Usage & Fitment Recommendations
The greater the volume of the mast float used, the higher the inversion resistance it will provide.
9 Litre Inflatable Mast Float
(Heavy duty fabric construction)
Part Code # 90718
The single eyelet at the top of the float
should be tied directly to the sails mast
head cap webbing using a short piece
of 4mm diameter rope.
A second piece of the same rope
should then used to tie a small bow-
line loop which passes through both
the eyelets at the bottom of the float.
The resulting rope tail should then
be passed down the front face of the
mast before being tensioned and
cleated or tied to the bridge piece of
one of the clam cleats in the region
of the gooseneck.

WARNING: Mast floatation devices are only an aid to slow the rate of inversion in the event of
a capsize. They do not guarantee to stop complete inversion of your craft. Also, be aware that
prevailing conditions including tide, wind, swell, waves and/or incorrect fitment can have an
adverse effect on their performance.
40 Litre Inflatable Mast Float
(Heavy duty fabric construction)
Part Code # 90720
With the mainsail ready to hoist:
Form a short loop in the end of the
halyard and pass the loop through
the eye in the head of the mainsail.
Pass the loop through the stainless
"D" ring on the end of the mast float.
Pass the bobble (on the very end of the
halyard) through the aforementioned
emerging loop and pull the body of the
halyard backwards firmly to secure.
Hoist the mainsail to the desired
height before cleating. (You may
be reefed).
Note: This mast float only supports
attachment at one end so fitment
parallel to the mast is not possible.

Part Code # 90530
Apply the self adhesive neoprene
strip to the top of the mast. This
should be butted up to the top edge
of the aluminium and not onto the
mast head fitting.
Place the mast head float onto the
mast head with the narrow end
to the front of the mast. Thread
the rope through the lacing eye
on the front of the mast head
float and the front of the mast.
Securely tie the mast head float
onto the mast.
