2.3 DETERMINING WHICH SECTION LENGTH SHOULD BE USED

The example given is of a LS165 12M40, standard (i.e. not delivered to a shipyard), for a
forestay measuring between 10.4 and 12.4 metres. According to the table above, you will
receive: 5 two-metre external sections and 1 one-metre external section.
EXAMPLE No1 : your forestay measures between 10.40 and 11.40 metres (fig. A), you
do not need the 1-metre section.
EXAMPLE No2: your forestay measures between 11.40 and 12.40 metres, you do need
the 1-metre section (fig. B); the latter fits above the last section.
In both examples, the exact length will be reached with the telescopic section (fig. C).
