With the person on the trampoline supporting the mast, the
other person shackle the two bridles to the stay adjuster at
the end of the forestay. Now, provided all the clevis pins
have the split rings fitted, the mast is supported by the
shrouds and forestay. For the Turbo model see page (jib
assembly)
Now, ensure that the forestay wire is not twisted around any other wires and you are ready for raising the
mast.
For safety, two people should raise the mast. One person positions the hook on the mast base under the pin in
the mast step, whilst the other person supports the head of the
mast. One person stands on the trampoline supporting the mast
whilst the person supporting the top of the mast starts walking to-
wards the boat and lifting at the same time.
When the person on the trampoline can support the weight of the
mast, the second person walks around the front of the mast and
pushes down on the mast base. This provides added security and
prevents the base from popping out of the step whilst the person on
the trampoline fully raises the mast.

Next, fasten the shrouds into the stay adjusters. To begin with, fasten the
shroud about half way up the adjuster. This position can be adjusted later. The
position influences mast rake. Now fasten the twist toggles to the anchor bar
pins on each side of the boat. You can pull the cover partially over the stay ad-
justers at this time. The assembly of the trapeze wires can wait until after you
have raised the mast.
