main halyard
• Thread one end of the
main halyard
through
the bullseye at the top of the
mast
.
• Run both ends of the
main halyard
to the bottom
of the

• Place the
mast top section
and
mast lower section
on the ground, in line with
each other.
• Slide the inner sleeve of the
mast top section
into the end of the
mast lower section
.
• Push the two
mast
sections together. The angle of the join should ensure that the
mast track
on the two sections aligns.
Please note, top and bottom
mast
sections are matched, they are not interchangeable
so if you have more than one boat you should consider marking the sections to identify
which go together.
