TRAPEZE

Run the shock cord through the appropriate spot on the hulls, beams,
or tra m p o l i n e, and tie a bowline in
each end. Tie a tra p e ze ring to
each of the 3' lines supplied.
Thread the line through the thim-
ble at the end of the tra p e ze wire
( 1 2 ) . Thread one of the plastic
adjusters onto the line, wra p p i n g
the line around it at least twice
( 1 1 ) . The adjuster allows you to
adjust the tra p e ze height. Tie the
tail of the line to the tra p e ze shock
cord, being careful to not tangle
the tra p e ze in the shrouds.
In general the tra p e ze ring should
barely touch the hull.

STEPPING THE MAST

CAUTION: Check for overhead wires before raising or lowering the mast. A mast which comes in
contact with electrical power lines can cause serious injury or death.
Before raising the mast the boat should be steady on level ground. If the surface is not level, point the
bows downhill. If the boat is on a trailer be sure it is tied down and the trailer tongue is secure to the
hitch.
