Preparing to Launch. The screw bung to drain out bilge water is in the after
locker. Get rid of any water present and make sure the bung is screwed tightly
home. If an outboard motor is fitted,check that it is centred on its mount and that
the securing clamps are done up tightly. If pushing the boat off a trailer, secure a
rope to the mooring cleat and hold on to it!
Rigging tor Sailing. Most of the preparation for sailing is done most
conveniently before launching but it can be done from inside the boat while
afloat if necessary. Before stepping the main mast make sure that the shrouds
(side stays) and the forestay are attached to the mastband and lying along the
mast without twists or tangles. The main halyard should be rove through the
sheave at the masthead and the jib halyard through the block hanging from the
forestay lug. Tie their ends together to ensure that they do not undo themselves.
