Spreader Bars
Slide the diamond Wires into the corresponding slots
at the end of the spreaders. Ensure the black plastic
roller is above the spreader arm. It may be necessary
to release tension from the diamond wire turnbuckle
adjuster near the base of the mast. Secure the dia-
mond wire with the thin wire supplied. Pass the wire
through the small hole near the spreader tip, bend the
wire and on one side of the spreader turn the wire
around the thicker diamond wires two or three times.
Do the same for the other side of the spreader. Cut off
the excess thin wire ensuring it is bent neatly onto the
diamond wires as to prevent the wire from tearing the
sails. Once secured, tape over the spreader tips to fur-
ther ensure there are no sharp edges.
Unroll the diamond wires. At-
tach the joint end of the dia-
mond wires onto the turnbuckle
adjuster near the base of the
mast (level with the security sti-
cker) using the pin and split
ring.
Take the loose ends of the dia-
mond wires and hold tight to ad-
just to the same length, using
the turnbuckle adjuster which is
located on the lower section of
one of the wires. Once they are
the same length, attach the two
wires to the shield plaes situa-
ted on each side of the mast
under the mast tang.

Assemble the spreaders on the
centre of the mast. The spreader
root attaches to the front of the mast
section onto the one-piece stainless
steel strap. The spreader rake ad-
juster barrel attaches on each side
to the individual fittings on both
sides of the mast nearer the sail
track. To adjust the spreader rake,
adjust the length of the barrel (by
winding in or out) and measure from
the wire positions at the tips of each
spreader.
Caution : do not try to adjust sprea-
der rake while diamond wires are
tensioned. Only adjust under no dia-
mond wire tension and screwing the
barrel by hand.
