Fasten the mainsheet blocks on the mainsheetbails.CAUTION : on boats with a mainsail track or mainsail block attachment on deck aheadof the main hatch the mainsheet bails (25) must be re-positioned as far backward aspossible.III 12 b - Push the boom by hand over the lifelines as far as possible and tie a knot onthe mainsheet so that in no case the boom profile can be damaged by the rearmostshrouds when running downwind or jibing.III 13 - INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL LINES TO THE COCKPITREMINDER TO AVOID FRICTION1. Only use good quality ball bearing blocks, which will have to becleaned and lubricated from time to time as per manufacturer’sspecifications.2. Use ball bearing blocks with a sheave of large diameter.3. Reduce as much as possible the number of lead blocks between thedrum and the cockpit.4. Reduce as much as possible the angle of deviation of the controllines.III 13 a - Attach the ball bearing block supplied at the mast foot on starboard at theconvenient position to lead the line into the middle of the drum at 90° angle .III 13 b - Pass the furling line supplied from underneath through the block, thenthrough the hole of the drum’s shaft and a tie small knot at its end so that the knotwill be completely hidden inside the drum’s shaft. (see drawing 15).III 13 c - To fill the drum with line turn the mandrel (16) by hand towards port side(seen from above) so that the furling line sticks out of the drum on the starboardside.III 13 d - Fit another ball bearing block at the mast foot to lead the mainsail halyardto the cockpit.
