If the halyard swivel is not used, fix a block on the mast
(fig. A'), so that the halyard runs off at 15° to the
forestay. Also insure that the top cap is positioned
40mm – 139mm
between 40mm and 139mm from the bottom end of the
forestay terminal.
The halyard swivel virtually eliminates halyard wrap ;
B'
however, when using a shorter sail, rig a short strop (fig.
B') between the head of your sail to allow the top of the
halyard swivel to be positioned around 50mm from the
top section cap, when your sail is fully hoisted.
□ The furling line runs at 90° to the foil sections
90°
(if not, see p.30 «adjusting the furling line guide)
□ The bottom pin of the forestay is correctly bolted, at least
one thread is showed beyond the bolt
(If the furling system is fiited with link plates, check the upper fixing
srews)

* space to allow for change in luff length of Genoa. The bigger is the
distance between the top swivel and the top cap, the more important is
the risk for the halyard to twist round the forestay. Make sure that the
halyard/forestay angle is bigger than 15° (if not, see page 29)
□ The swivel is clear of any halyard
□ The Genoa halyard is correctly tensioned
□ The forestay is sufficiently tight
