shrouds (if there is no backstay). If the forestay needs to
be adjusted, remove the luff support pin and slide up the
furling drum to expose turnbuckle.
15. Slide the furling drum down the luff,
into the cup and over the main bearing.
Lift the luff off the turnbuckle body.
Insert the luff support pin through the
hole in the furling drum throat. The luff
rests on top of this pin (see picture). No
hole in the luff is needed for the pin.
CAUTION: the luff must not sit on the
turnbuckle body as turning the furler
might unscrew the turnbuckle causing
dismasting.
16. If your jib is full or almost full hoist, pull the halyard ferrule
hard up against the halyard top fitting and cut the halyard
so that when it is tied to the sail, the head of the sail is just
below the sail feed slot. Melt end of rope to prevent fraying.
If your sail is not a full hoist sail,
estimate the distance from the
head of the sail to the mast
when the sail is raised. Call this
estimated distance "dimension
A." With the halyard ferrule hard
up against the halyard top fitting,
cut the halyard so that the head
to the sail is below the sail feed
slot by an amount approximately
equal to "dimension A." When
the sail is raised, there must be
enough decored
reach and be made fast to the
halyard anchor shackle. This
may take some experimentation
so cut the halyard only after you
confirm the length.
Note: When the sail is UP, the ferrule (little metal tube
swaged on halyard) is DOWN near the spool.
