Jib kit

1
Mounting jib sheet tracks
The inboard end of the track is located 320 mm from
the centre of the front cross beam and 40 mm up from
the trampoline slot. Use the pop rivets supplied to ins-
tall the track. Do the same thing for the second track
on the opposite side. Slide the jib sheet block/car as-
semblies on to the tracks.
3
Attaching the pigtail, forestay and jib halyard
When using the jib kit on the FX-One, the two long forestay/bridles
supplied with the cat-rigged boat are not required. Undo the 8 mm
tang shackle, remove the two forestay/bridles and shackle the pigtail bet-
ween the two shrouds. Fit the two extra trapeze lines to the shrouds if re-
quired.
4
Attaching the bridles and furler
Connect the bridles supplied with the jib kit to the bow tangs.
Fasten the inboard end of the bridles to the furler. Ensure that the hole in the furler housing is pointing to-
wards the front cross beam. Now is a good time to roll some line
onto the furler drum.
Attach the jib halyard line to the small jib halyard
block at the end of the jib halyard wire. Tie off the ha-
lyard wire and the line near the base of the mast.
2
Mounting the furler cleat
The cleat is located 180 mm to the left side of the
centre of the front cross beam and 55 mm up from
the trampoline slot. Use the large wedge only and
also the metal fairlead. Fasten the furler cleat to the
beam using the self tapping screws supplied.
