Raising Mast
1
Install the mast on the mast ball located on the
front crossbar and install the stepper bolt.
2
Lifting from the back of
the mast, raise the mast
into the upright position.
Raising the mast is
easiest with two people.
Caution : it is absolutely
necessary to remove
the stepper bold when
the mast is completely
raised and secured.
3
With someone holding
the mast forward, run the
forestay wire to the top hole
in the bridle adjuster. Hold
the wire in place with a
clevis pin and retainer ring.
Watch for overhead power lines when handling the
sail and mast. NEVER rig, trailer or sail the boat near
overhead power lines. Mast contact with power lines
could be fatal.
