• Secure the towing line around the base of the mast. If the mast has
failed, secure the line around the inboard end of both forward wing
tubes.
• Fully raise or remove the daggerboard.
• Stay at the tiller. In the event of rudder loss, sit well aft.
Anchoring.
The RS 700 is not designed or equipped for anchoring and this should not
normally be attempted. You should remain in control of the boat at all times.
If there is no alte rnative to anchoring, the anchor line should be secured round
the base of the mast (or wing tubes if mast has failed) and you should remain
in the boat at all times. If the boat must be abandoned when anchored, it is
best left in the capsized position with the rig pointing downwind.
Mooring.
The RS 700 is not designed or equipped for mooring and this should not be
attempted. You should remain in control of the boat at all times when afloat.
Trailing.
When trailing your RS 700 you should only use an approved trolley and road
base. Tying down the boat to its trailer is important because too much or too
little tension could result in damage. Follow the instructions below for safe
trailing:
• Ensure the boat is located correctly on the trolley, with the gunwale
supports up under the gunwales and the bow located in the bow
snubber of the trolley.
• Ensure the trolley is properly located on the road base and the
retaining pin is fitted.
