Plastic Rope Balls
These two rope balls should be used on the pole downhaul system in front of the knot (see picture under mast base) and also on the spinnaker halyard before the knot (see picture below). The balls will be found in the fitting bag.
Pole Hook
The picture above shows how to tie on the pole hook, a bowline through the ring and two half hitches below around the hook arm. Also if your pole is coming out of these hooks too easily, close the ring up at the opening with a pair of vice grips or similar.
Chocks and Reverse Chocking Compass Bracket
We have supplied 5x 5mm (refer to tuning guide as ½) chocks and 5x 10mm (refer to tuning guide as 1) chocks, these can be used to chock the mast and lock it into place fore and aft whilst sailing. This clearly has a big advantage on other systems and as the mast can be chocked forward in the very light and reaching and strong winds, no vang can be used for reaching without inverting the mast. This equates to higher speeds and better angles to be sailed across reaches, with less overpowering of the boat.
Centre Case Systems
Below is a picture of the centre case systems and traveler bar.
Centreboard Uphaul and Downhaul System
Tie on the centerboard tie as shown, this should be able to be taken off with ease by slipping the bowline over the two balls on the centerboard. Also feed the centerboard uphaul directly through the centerboard and back down to the side blocks before going back to the side cleats as shown above.
