(Unfolding can be done at the dock or while motoring away. But beware, while folding stability is
good, it is limited.)
To unfold, first check that there are no ropes across the beam recesses, and the tiller is
clear. Remove the beam looking pins,
place your foot on the top of the upper folding
strut
, grasp the top of the beam and pull downwards, while pushing with your foot.
WARNING
Always check that no one has their foot/hand/fingers in or near the recesses when
folding, as the beams can come down quickly!
The float will unfold, but be careful it doesn’t pick up too much speed towards the end.
Hold the beam down and tighten the bolts using a speed wrench. These bolts should be
tightened firmly, but
not over tightened
.
WARNING
The Beam Bolts must always be in place and tightened
before
sailing
If anything seems hard or difficult when folding,
stop
and see if anything is misaligned,
or snagged. It is usually a wing net catching. Should you have difficulty in holding the
beams down to tighten the bolts, then the usual cause is wing nets that have been
lashed too tightly. These should be slackened slightly.
It is not necessary to hold both forward and aft beams when folding. One person
operating either beam is all that is required. The wing nets will extend and tighten
themselves. There is knack in unfolding of using both your foot to push on the upper
folding strut and your hands to pull the top of the beam in and down. After a few tries
you will find it easy to do.
