3. Launching
Before Launching
Lock the rudder up and attach it to the boat by passing the tiller
under the traveler and lining up the rudder pin with the pin-
tles. Th
e bottom groove should fi t into the bottom pintle, and
when you push down on the spring-loaded pin, the top groove
will slide into the top pintle. Release the spring and lock the
rudder in place, making sure the rudder is securely connected to
the boat at both top and bottom.
Once in the water, slide the daggerboard into the daggerboard
trunk. (You will have to turn the boat sideways to the wind to
keep the boom clear.) Drop it down as much as depth permits,
and push the daggerboard retainer against the board.
Unrigging
When approaching shallow water, pull up the daggerboard as
much as possible without obstructing the boom. After you hop
out of the boat, remove the daggerboard and place it in the boat.
To remove the rudder, push down on the pin and lift it off .
Once the boat is on land, remove the vang from the boom, undo
the outhaul and clew tie down line, and drop the sail. If the
boat is staying put, you can leave the mast and boom on the
boat; just tighten up the mainsheet so that the boom won’t
separate from the hull. If the boat is traveling some where, you
must remove the mast and boom.
Th
e following items can remain assembled:
Rudder/Tiller
•
Vang (leave attached to the mast)
•
Cunningham (leave attached to boat
•
Outhaul (leave attached to boom)
•
Sail care tips
All gear should be rinsed, if sailing in salt water, and the sail
should be allowed to dry before it is rolled up. Removing the bat-
tens from the pockets between uses will increase the life of the
elastic that holds them. Make sure the window is not creased
when you fold the sail.
