G- FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE SECTIONS:
Tension backstay slightly.
Allow the sail feeder (dwg. E) to sit on the drum.
Ensure foil assembly (dwg. B) is hoisted fully
using the halyard swivel. The halyard deflector
needs to touch the top terminal (dwg. C).
Lower the foil section assembly by about 50 mm.
Drill two Ø 5 mm holes (dwg. L) through pre-drilled
guide holes into the telescopic section.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRILL THE FORESTAY WIRE.
Fit and pull two (5x10 mm) rivets into these holes
using a rivet gun.
Slide sail feeder up to the bottom of the foil (dwg.
E).
Drill a Ø 3 mm hole into the front of the sail feeder and
secure using the 3x6 mm rivets.
Caution: do not drill the forestay wire.
Important: You must have a minimum of 30
mm and a maximum of 100 mm (dwg. N)
between the top of the halyard deflector and the
top terminal.
Now backstay may be fully tensioned. (gently slacken
off any supporting halyards).
H- FITTING OF THE FURLING LINE:
Fit the furling line onto the drum so that it passes
through the stainless guide.
The first deck block should positioned as far as
possible from the drum. The furling line should be at
90° to the forestay to avoid bunching at the top or
bottom of drum.
Furl few turns around the drum.
