6. Building the tack terminal: Follow the
procedure used to build the head swivel
terminal.
Tip: Wait to shrink the heat shrink tub-
ing until the sail is hoisted and sailed in
case length adjustments are necessary.
8. Checking the length: Attach the drive
unit to the bow fitting or pole. Hoist the
cable without sail to check the length. Use
the halyard winch to tension the halyard
enough to straighten the cable.
Tip: Unlike fibrous torsion cables, the
Reflex torsion cable transmits torque
at lower halyard loads. IMPORTANT!
Over-tensioning the halyard can make
furling more difficult and can damage
components.
Adjust the tack line if necessary.
