19. Before you go sailing, ensure that the 2
transom bungs and the 3 hatches are fully
tightened. (figure 19a) (figure 19b)
20. If you capsize when sailing the Funboat it is
very easy to pull upright. Simply pull backwards
on the black handle under the hull beside the
mast step and at the same time climb onto the
lower hull. As you do this the Funboat will come
upright. (figure 20a) (figure 20b)
21. If the Funboat turns completely
upside down, climb between the hulls from
the transom. Using one of the handles
underneath the hull at the back of the boat
pull backwards, while pushing down the on the
opposite hull. As the Funboat comes upright
move forward and pull on the forward handle
as described above.
5. Reefing your Funboat
In strong winds, or if you are unsure whether
you can cope with the conditions, it is always
best to reef the sail down to reduce its area.
A) Uncleat and slacken the kicking strap rope.
(figure 21)
B) Unclip the kicking strap from the mast.
(figure 21)
C) Uncleat and slacken the clew outhaul line and
ensure that the foot of the sail is loose. (figure
22)
D) Rotate the mast in either direction by
turning the mast below the gooseneck.
is will roll the sail around the mast, thus
reducing the sail area.
E) Reattach the kicking strap to the lower mast
but leave it loose.
F) Recleat the clew outhaul and pull it tight.
G) Retighten the kicking strap.
