STEPPING THE MAST.
DANGER - Do not attempt to step the mast in an
area of low overhead wires. A mast contacting an
electrical wire could be fatal.
1. Secure the four trapeze wires near the bottom of the
mast so that they will be out of the way while the mast is
being raised.
2. Attach the jib halyard line to each end of the jib
halyard wire to form a very large loop. Tie the line
around the fork at the bottom of the forestay. The
halyard line must be connected to the wire before the
mast is raised or you will be unable to hoist the jib later.
See Illustration.
3. Carry the mast over to the boat and place the hinge
of the mast base over the mast step which is located on
the front bar, see Figure 17. The sail track should be
facing down. Note: when lowering the mast over the
trampoline be sure to guide the mast rotation control
yoke between the trampoline halves.
