Ensure you fit the halyard swivel the right way up. Fix the
Long U shackle
two shackles. In order to raise the sections as high as
possible, we recommend that you fit the halyard swivel
and raise everything by way of a halyard.
IMPORTANT : Be sure to attach a down haul line
bow shackle
to the halyard swivel so as to be able to recover it
later.
The top section is in place. Assemble a bushing around the
forestay. Slip the next section, already assembled (see
preparing the sections p.4), with the connector pointing
towards the top of the forestay. With the help of the
connector, push the bushing all the way up into the top
section until the connector holes coincide with those of the
top section.

Fit both screws (fig. G). then, slowly and firmly tighten the
4 screws (fig. G+H).
Repeat the operation until you reach the last section. DO
NOT FIX ANYTHING TO THE LAST SECTION.
Once the sections have been hoisted as high as possible,
assemble a bushing around the forestay.
Fit the telescopic section and push it up. That way, the
bushing (fig. J) goes into the lowest foil section (Rep. I).

If your forestay requires the use of a 1-meter
section, fit it above the lowest 2-meter section.
