  • Cape Cod Catboat
    Cape Cod Catboat Instructions: Follow these instructions carefully and step by step. The rigging lines of the boat could tangle easily so do not undo the lines until instructed. 1. Unwrap the hull and stand. Place the hull into the stand with the hull facing forward to your right. Keep the starboard side of the boat facing you in order to follow the instructions and to compare with the diagrams. 2. Study brass eye “A” and the cleats on the boat. There are 7 cleats on this model but we will only be using 3-7. They each have a fixed position that corresponds to different rigging lines and sail sheets of the boat. See diagram (1). 3. Unwrap the packing of the mast; find brass eyes G1, G2, G3, G4, & G5 on the mast. The brass eyes must face towards the stern of the boat. Insert the mast into the mast step on the deck. 4. Unpack the sail. You may want to press the sail with an iron to get out any wrinkles. Find the headstay line on the front top portion of the mast. Attach the line to eye A on the bow. See diagram (1). 5. Put the gaff jaw at the end of gaff pole to brass eye M on the mast. Then find a pin at the end of the boom, insert the pin to a brass hole about 1 inch up the mast from the deck. Find a block with hook on the topping lift line. Attach the hook of the line to eye G1, then lead the line down the mast and through an eye at the bottom of the mast, starboard side, then fix the end of the line to cleat 4 on the cockpit bulkhead.

  • Lazy Bag Installation Guide
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Lazy Bag Installation Guide © Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CONN. 06614 Phone: 203-375-2626 • Fax: 203-376-2627 Email: [email protected] Web: www.neilprydesails.com All material herein Copyright 2006-2007 Neil Pryde Sails International All Rights Reserved OVERVIEW The Neil Pryde Sails Mainsail Lazy Bag (MLB) is designed to be easily used and modular in design. It can conveniently be fitted and removed independently of the sail. • The MLB includes a zippered flap at the front of the bag that wraps around the mast to the opposite side of the bag and zippers closed. This is designed to reduce U.V. damage and keep birds from nesting inside the mainsail! • The front flap can be left in place while sailing, or folded back inside the bag and secured with a hook & loop strip. • The top zipper is also provided with a flap to help decrease water ingress. • The MLB is attached to the boom using slug/slides. The bag is NOT sewn between each slide so that rain water AND reefing lines can be led from the sail through the bag to the boom attachment points. • Two adjustable webbing straps provide Fore/aft tension; one strap is passed through the clew ring of the mainsail and the forward strap goes around the mast (and inside the halyards). The straps are inside the bag to reduce U.V. exposure and allow the bag to be pulled aft over the sail, covering it completely. A third strap at the front/top can be used to tighten up the forward girth of the bag.
