Step 4.
Take the end of the halyard through the block in the top of the mast from
the inside to the outside of the mast.
Step 5.
Take this end down again and tie it to the spinnaker halyard block. With the
other end you can tighten the line, cleat it in the spinnaker hoist block and
then put the rest of the line in the trampoline bag.
2.1.4. Raising the mast
Step 1.
Raising the mast the first time it is best to be with three people. We will
show you how to do it with two people. Make sure the mast is on level
ground or if that's not possible ensure the bow is downhill to make it easier
to raise the mast. CAUTION: Check for overhead wires and be sure
the area behind the boat is clear of people! A mast which comes in
contact with electrical power lines can cause serious injury or
death.
Step 2.
One person takes the top of the mast and the other places the mast base on
the mast ball. Make sure the mast is at right angle with the front beam. Not
rotating the mast may put excessive load on the mast pin/ball which may
cause damage to any of these items or cause the mast to come off when
lowering causing potential damage or injury.
CAUTION: Check for overhead wires and be sure the area behind the boat is clear of people! A mast which comes in contact with elec-
trical power lines can cause serious injury or death.
