S/C Yachts SC 420 Boat User Manual


 
Wind Indicator
We have provided a complimentary High Performance New Zealand made wind indicator, this comes in its own box
and has instruction manuals of how to assemble. The wind indicator should be fastened to the top of the rig via duck
tape or by drilling a hole through the top of the mast just big enough for the wind indicator to go into. Then drill another
small hole through the side of the top of the mast bracket. Through this hole you should use whipping twine to attach
the indicator to the mast.
Shackles
In each boat in the fitting bag are the shackles used to assemble the boat. There are 5 big shackles, 2 small long D
shackles and 3 small screw shackles.
Use one of the big shackles on the forestay at the fork end, one for the vang attachment onto the vang mast strap and
one for connecting the vang snap hook onto the top of the vang system, which connects onto the boom. Another one
should be used for the main halyard and the last one is to connect the rig tension strop to the Harken triple block with
the cleat on it. The small long D shackle should be used on the false forestay to attach to the stem fitting as shown
and also onto the spinner at the top, which connects onto the top of the jib. Two screw shackles should be used on
the top of each trapeze rope cleat and the other can be used on the jib spinner if you want the head to be higher on
the wire and the long D shackle does not permit this.
Spare Mylar
We have also provided a complimentary double mylar pack in case you damage the set that is supplied with the boat.
These are very easy to apply, just make sure that the surface is very clean and dry before applying any new mylar. If
you use solvents to clean the surface, just make sure that all residue is removed before applying the mylar tapes. You
will find the spare mylars in the fitting bag.
