Stepping the mast
Shrouds
We recommend that you have
someone assist you. As you begin
to raise the mast the link will ro-
tate upward. Stand on the rear
crossbar and raise the mast to
your shoulder. At this point, in-
sure that the shrouds are clear of
the rudders and rear corner
castings. An assistant is recom-
mended. Walk forward raising the
mast as you go. At the full upright
position, lean the mast forward
against the shrouds and have an
assistant attach the forestay
(upper hole).
NB : Later adjustment may be
necessary.
Once the mast is upright, take the
pin off the mast step link.
Attach
one of the shroud to the four or fifth hole of the stay adjuster. Have someone pulling down on the
trapeze in order to relieve the shroud. Do the same operation on the opposite side. Caution : it is ne-
cessary to have the same tension on both sides. Then put the shrouds covers completely over the stay
adjusters.
Trapeze
Assemble the trapeze adjustment components as shown
in the illustration. The shock cord should passe beneath
the trampoline frame from the port trapeze line to the
starboard line
