MAST ASSEMBLY continued...
Pass the pin through the mast
base as shown. Pass the ring
through the pin to keep it captive.
This pin should remain in place
while sailing.
MAST WIRES
Attach the shackle to the lower
hole in the mast tang. Tighten
the screw pin with pliers.
Route the two side stays to each
hull. Be sure there are no tangles
or twists in the wires. The wire
that crosses the mast should be
routed over (on top of) the mast.
Connect the mast base to the
step ball by positioning the step
ball inside the mast base cup.
Locate the mast wires and
uncoil. There are two side stays
attached to a shackle. Find the
jib assembly with swivel and
upper pig tail. Pull all three wires
to the mast tang. Hang the
pigtail wire between the two side
stay wires on the shackle.
Use the safety wire provided to
keep the pin from backing out
due to vibration. Thread the wire
through the pin head and around
the shackle hoop. Twist the
ends together with pliers to lock
the pin in place.
Check to be sure the wires are
not crossed. Check that they are
clear to allow the mast to swing
to the upright position.
Once again, check the wires to see that they are positioned
properly on the mast tang shackle and that they are routed to
the hulls over the mast.
Watch for overhead power lines. Never rig,
trailer or sail the boat near overhead power lines.
Mast contact with a power line
STEPPING THE MAST
Before continuing, once again check for overhead power line
wires that could contact the mast when raising it or when
moving to the water for launching.
Stand on the trampoline near the rear crossbar and lift the
mast to your shoulder.

Attach the adjusters to each hull
as shown. Be sure the adjuster
cover boots are installed on the
wires first. Attach the side stay
(shroud) wires to the top hole on
each side of the boat.
Slide the boots over the wire and
adjusters.
WARNING!!
could be fatal.
