4.3 Checking the hull
Check that the 3 hatches and transom drain bung are fully screwed into the hull. It
is advisable to apply a small amount of Vaseline or other non-staining lubricant to
the threads on a regular basis.
4.4 Rigging the Mast and sail
1) Insert the upper mast into the lower mast, making sure that the red arrows align.
Pico rigging manual 2007.doc Page 8 of 28
2) Thread the jib halyard through the Halyard plate eye on the upper mast. Take
one end of the halyard and pass it through the halyard cleat on the port side of the
lower mast and tie the 2 free ends together.
3) Unfold the mainsail (try to keep it clean and dry) and sleeve it over the top of the
mast and jib halyard, making sure that the mast stays together. Slide the sail down
over the mast, with the Cunningham D-ring on the sail facing forward in line with
the cleat at the centre and bottom of the mast.
Sport Mainsail
With the Sport mainsail insert the 3 battens into the batten pockets and ensure that
the end of the batten engages into the fold in the outer end of the pocket.
