Page 8: To Lock
Operations & Procedures Procedure for Forward Lock To Lock After connecting the sail to the lock strop, begin hoisting the sail on the halyard. As the spigot reaches towards the entrance of the lock body, reduce the speed at which the halyard is raised. Keep raising the halyard until the spigot reaches the end stop within the lock- the line will not be able to be raised any further and tension will occur in the halyard. -
Page 9: To Unlock
Operations & Procedures (cont.) Procedure for Forward Lock (cont.) To Unlock Before removing any load on the tack, load the halyard onto a winch. Once the tack is released, slowly wind the halyard to take up the tension. Only a small over hoist is required to open the pawls. After a small over hoist, the halyard can be slowly eased down to ensure the lock has been released. -
