If you need to correct this end-point re-connect the hook
9.22 further forward or further back in the timing chain
7.23.
-
Route the schooner sheet 9.21 through the swivel block
9.6 and the second sheet block 33.1. Fit the sheet through
the hole in the block 9.6, tension it and secure it with a
knot; the schooner boom should now be about 5° off the
boat's centreline - Fig. 303.
-
Any corrections required can be carried out by altering the
position of the knot.
-
Route the foresail sheet 9.17 through the sheet bar and the
split pin 25.4 on the foresail boom. Swing the boom out to
about 10°, and belay the sheet under tension to the cleat
25.2. You may find it necessary to adjust this basic angle
during the trial run procedure.
-
Cut the flying jib sheet 33.2 and the jib sheet 33.3 to length
and tie the centre of both of them to the clew of the sails.
-
Run the foresail winch 8.3 to the end-point on the right-
hand side, with the trim neutral: see Fig. 119.
-
Run the sheets through the guide rings (split pins 9.11).
Both foresails should now be on the right-hand side. Note
that plan 3 shows the sails still on the left-hand side.
-
Route the jib sheet through the swivel hook 9.26 and tigh-
ten it so that the jib stay has very little "give".
-
Fix the sheet in this position with the OP clamp and splice
in a loop about 20 mm in size - Fig. 304. Do not glue this
splice, and do not cut off the end of the sheet for the
moment. The sheet lengths can be adjusted by altering the
loop.
-
Install and adjust the right-hand flying jib sheet in the same
manner.
-
Lay the left-hand sheets over the corresponding stay. Run
the winch to the left-hand end-point and splice in the
sheets to the left-hand hook 9.26 under light tension. If you
need to adjust all the foresails together, use the trim on the
transmitter; to adjust individual sails alter the correspon-
ding spliced loop.
Finishing off the sails
-
Splice a pulley block into one end of the main topping lift
33.4. Splice the other end to the split pin 23.29 on the
mainmast.
-
Attach the second block 33.5 to the tackle 33.6. Route the
other end through the block on the topping lift to the rear
split pin 25.24 on the main boom, and splice it.
-
Splice in the lanyard 33.7 as shown on plan 3, route it
through the blocks 33.5 and 25.30 and secure it to the
belaying pin on the jaw plate 25.23. Note that there should
be plenty of slack in the system at this point. Fix the spa-
cer 33.8 between the runner and the runner block - Figs.
305 and 306.
-
The four secondary lifts 33.9 at the mainmast and schoo-
ner mast are made up from the same parts. At one end of

the lift splice in the pulley block 33.10, and splice the other
end to the S-hook 25.18 on the sheet fitting at a suitable
spacing. Check that the lengths are the same on both
sides.
Tie the second block 33.10 to the lanyard 33.11! Pull the
other end through the hole in the masthead frame 23.7
from the underside, and secure it above the frame with a
knot. Run the lanyard through the blocks as shown on plan
3, and belay it to the pin rails 24.4 in such a way that the
lanyard does not quite raise the boom - Fig. 307.
All the lazy jacks 33.12 consist of one longer and one shor-
ter part. The long lazy jacks run from the right-hand secon-
dary lift 33.9 through the lacing rails 25.12 and 25.25 at the
appropriate point on the left-hand topping lift. The short
lazy jacks are fitted as shown on the plan in exactly the
same way. Splice the lazy jacks as shown in Fig. 308 and
309. After completing the lazy jacks belay the topping lifts
with plenty of slack.
Pass the footropes 33.13 from the front hole in the right-
hand reefing rail 25.26 through the aftermost split pin on
the main boom to the appropriate hole in the left-hand ree-
fing rail, as shown on the plan. Tie knots in the ends to
secure them. Draw the braces 33.14 into the rearmost
holes in the reefing rails and tie them to the footropes - Fig.
310.
Attach the reef points 33.15 to the sails using a suitable
needle in the positions shown in the sail drawings. This
requires threading the needle with a piece of cord about 80
cm long.
Tie a knot about 60 mm from the end. Push the needle
through the sail from the front face as shown in the sail
drawing, and pull the cord through as far as the knot (B).
On the reverse face push the needle through the exact
centre of the cord, with the needle lying directly on the face
of the sailcloth. Pull the thread through until a small loop is
formed at the sail (C + D).
Pass the needle through this loop once more and pull the
resultant knot tight. Cut off the cord about 50 mm from the
sail. Picture sequence 311 A - D.
Repeat this process 80 times until all the reef points are in
place - enjoy yourself!
When all the reef points are in place, cut them all to the
same length of about 40 mm using a template - Fig. 311 E.
Drill a hole in the handrail for the split pin 33.16 as shown
on the plan. Shorten the split pin and glue it in the hole.
Solder the pulley blocks 33.17 to the S-hooks 33.18 and
open up the hooks. Glue the cleats 33.19 on the inside of
the bulwark stanchions in the positions shown on plan 3.
Splice the backstays 33.20 into the mainmast masthead
ring 23.22. At the other end attach the pulley block 33.21
(two rings). Attach the lanyard 33.22 to the second ring -
see plan 2.
Order No.
