Harken 7000 Carbo Racing Foil - Manual (Page 6)

6 Unit 0, 1, 2, 3 Carbo Racing Foil
Installation
Halyard Lead
Halyard must be parallel to stay. If halyard pulls at an aft angle, it will pull out luff tape
and damage foil grooves.
Raising Sail
Use prefeeder when raising sail. Raise sail completely and tension
halyard before sheeting. Sheeting sail too soon can damage luff tape
and foil.
Quieting Bare Foil in Strong Wind
While motoring or moored in high wind, bare foil oscillates, creating
an annoying noise. To prevent this, wrap jib halyard around foil four
(4) to six (6) times, secure to deck fitting (foreguy bail), and hand
tension at winch.
Sail Misfeed
To prepare for the rare occasion when a sail misfeeds,
some Grand Prix sailors drill a small exit port (shown at
right). If sail jams on hoist, lower until misfeed runs down
into gap, then rehoist.
Using Carbo Racing Foil
Chafe Guard
Before installing, sail with spinnaker a few times to produce wear marks. Chose location
to cover marks. Squeeze bead of silicone sealant up length of each inside edge of guard.
Press in place. Use supplied PVC tape to hold guard securely for 24-hours before using.
