Insert the forward mast (the longest one) into the forward
deck mounting hole. Start by fishing the lower wires for the
lighting system through the hole, then follow with the mast. A
hemostat helps greatly in fishing the wire in place.
Don’t worry about the mast being too loose or not perfectly
straight up and down. The rigging will be used to secure and
hold the mast in place.
Clip the mast lighting connector to one of the two loose ends
inside the cabin.
Next, install the rear mast. Take your time adjusting the mast
so that the aft boom is facing rearward.
You will see that the turnbuckles to the rigging lines are
numbered. Simply match number to number going around the
boat from 1 to 15. Do not overtighten the turn buckles. Make
sure they are all attached to their corresponding number. You
can go back later and adjust the tension as needed.
