3.3- PREPARING FOR ASSEMBLY:
§ Protecting the components
During assembly, we recommend you protect both the sections and the other items of the
furling system, as rough ground may damage them.
§ Tools needed for assembly

§ Preparing foil sections
D E
We recommend you prepare the sections before assembly. This involves fixing a connector
(fig. D) to all of the twin-groove sections apart from one. The latter will be the top section. All
of the external sections, including the top section*, have symmetrical holes at each end
(fig. E).
* For furling systems installed for the first time, delivered to the shipyard, the top section may
be shorter than 2 metres. For these reefing systems, the top section is cut to length. Therefore,
there is no hole on the upper end of the top section, on which the top cap will be fixed.
Do not tighten screws at this stage, leave a play.
