4/ FLAT ASSEMBLY
- This method consists of fully dismantling the forestay and assembling the jib reefing system while the forestay is lying flat.
- We recommend this method as it is faster.
- In certain cases the top part of the forestay cannot be dismantled, in this case::
do an in situ assembly (see page 10)
contact a professional who can install a universal joint on the upper part of the forestay.

4.1 - Dismanting the forestay
4.1.1 - Lower part
- Slacken the backstay
- Secure the mast forward with 1 or 2 halyards
- Tigthen the halyards to relieve the strain on the forestay
- Dismantle the lower part of the forestay (this usually consists of removing a removing a
rigging screw pin, or a screw and a nut).
Note : it is important to measure the distance between the forestay eye and the hole of the
forward mounting plate in order to find the correct adjustments again.
For a turnbuckle assembly, measure the distance between the mounting plate and the blocking
nut of the turnbuckle.
4.1.2 - Upper part
- Send a person to the masthead (equipped with hammer and pliers)
- Dismount the upper part of the forestay
- Bring the person and the forestay down from the masthead

4.2 - ASSEMBLING THE JIB REEFING SYSTEM
- Lay the forestay flat
- Place the parts to be assembled alongside the forestay
- Assemble the drum unit on the forestay and put the rigging screw pin or screw and nut in place (select the chainplate hole that
corresponds to the initial forestay adjustment).
- Slide a bearing into the drum
- Insert a coupling sleeve into the base spar (ensure that the hole in the coupling sleeve is in line with the pre-drilled hole of the base
spar)

- Slide the base spar into the drum unit until the two holes are in line, insert the M5x12 screw (after putting some silicone filler in the
hole in order to reduce the stainless steel / aluminium electrolytic couple) and tighten.
- Secure with the 4 screws ø3.9x9.5
- Install the boltrope prefeeder; ensure it is the right way up, see diagram below.
- Insert an aluminium coupling sleeve, put some silicone filler into the hole and position a MSx8 screw (do not tighten or it will be
difficult to put the second screw in place).
- Put a second spar into position, put some silicone filler in the hole and position the screw (once the two screws are in position they
may both be tightened). Wipe off any excess filler with a cloth.
- Insert PVC liners as you go along (ensure they are flush against the prefeeder)
- Repeat the process until only one spar is left
4.3 Cutting the last spar
- Position the last spar so that it lies flush against the previous spar but do not install it
- Measure a distance of 5 cm back from the sleeve of the forestay
- Mark and cut the spar with a hacksaw
- Put a coupling sleeve into position
- Insert the spar, then insert and tighten the screw
5cm
- Position the last PVC liner
- Mark the liner level with the end of the aluminium spar
- Cut and insert the PVC liner

4.4 Installing the top end stop
- Slot the second bearing into the top end stop
- Slide the top end stop over the aluminium spar
- Drill a hole (with a Ø4 mm drill). IMPORTANT: refer to diagram for the positioning of the top end stop
- Before putting the screw into position, do not forget to slide the halyard swivel into place (ensure that the conical end of the halyard
swivel faces downwards)
- Put the top end stop back into position
- Put some silicone filler into the hole
- Insert and tighten screw Ø4.8 x 12.7
- Your jib reefing system is now assembled and can be put into position (hoist it up to the masthead with a halyard)
5/ IN SITU ASSEMBLY
Øthis method of assembly may be carried out by one person
Øit is not necessary to dismantle anything at the masthead
5.1 - MEASURING THE LENGTH OF THE FORESTAY
In order for this jib reefing system to be perfectly adapted to your boat the length « X » needs to be known.
- Slide a small shackle around the forestay
- Ensure that it lies flush against the sleeve
- Slacken the backstay
- Secure the mast with a halyard
- Dismount the lower part of the forestay
- Assemble the drum unit
- Reassemble the lower part of the forestay
- Undo the halyard and tighten the backstay
- Attach a halyard to the shackle
- Attach a length of rope (or a tape measure) to the shackle
- Hoist the shackle until it touches the top sleeve of the forestay
- Mark the piece of rope level with the top of the drum unit
- Lower the shackle

5.8 - ASSEMBLING THE DRUM UNIT
- Detach the forestay from its mounting plate on the boat
- Position the sleeve or turnbuckle* on the drum (*depending on model)
- Slide a bearing into the drum
- Insert a coupling sleeve into the base spar (ensure that the hole in the coupling sleeve is in line with the
pre-drilled hole of the base spar)
- Insert the base spar into the drum unit
- Put some silicone filler in the pre-drilled hole
- Insert the M5x12 screw
- Attach the jib reefing system to the forward mounting plate
- Lower the halyard swivel
- Tighten the backstay
5.9 - ADJUSTING THE REEFING LINE FEEDERS
5.9.1 - 406-S model
- The reefing line feeder on the 406-S model is assembled either on the right or left hand side of the drum unit, depending on which
direction you prefer to reef.
- To fasten the reefing line feeder, use the two M4x12 nuts and bolts
5.9.2 - 609-S & 811-S models
- The angle of reefing line feeders on 609-S & 811-S models is adjusted by loosening the two nuts and bolts (see diagram below)
Screws
- The angle is adjusted by loosening the two screws that hold the chainplate.

6/ Recommandations
AReefing line feeders
The angle of all the reefing line feeders may be adjusted.
IMPORTANT: they should be positioned in a way that best suits
the direction of pull on the line
AReefing line
The reefing line is wound around the drum. Only use pre-stretched rope in order to eliminate
any elasticity
Refer to diagram below for the position of the reefing line as it comes out of the drum
1m
90°
AReefing direction of the genoa
The genoa should be reefed in the same direction as the strands turn on the forestay.
AWhen you are not sailing
Slacken the backstay in order to reduce undue strain on mechanical parts
AAbout the drum
When your genoa is fully reefed and in order to avoid direct strain on mechanical parts and on the knot of the reefing line, there should be a
minimum length of one halyard turn on the drum.
AHalyard/forestay angle
This angle should never be more than 20-25° as this makes it impossible to tauten and reef the sail.
What is more, this undue strain on the forestay could cause it to unravel and even dismast the boat.
AWhen sailing
Ensure that the forestay is always taut. Not only will this make reefing easier but will avoid any danger of the forestay unravelling.
(We recommend putting a universal joint at the masthead)
AHauling on the genoa
The reefing line should never be used to haul on the sail.
AUnfurling the genoa
When unfurling the genoa, ensure that it does not unfurl too quickly by winding the reefing line once round a winch and feeding it out
slowly in one hand and the genoa sheet in the other.
AMaintenance
Rinse the drum unit and the halyard swivel once a year
with fresh water (no dismantling required).
No other special maintenance is needed.

Genoa difficult to hoist - Poor output from a sheave.
Halyard jammed
- Luffrope too large
- Try with a different halyard
- Change luffrope
PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Halyard turns with the halyard swivel - Forestay not taut enough
- Genoa halyard too slack
- Genoa too short, halyard swivel too low
- tighten the backstay
- tauten the genoa halyard
- Use a strop
- Genoa halyard too close to the forestay - Fasten a halyard feeder to the mast or a
diverter to the forestay
The halyard tends to wrap itself around the
spar when the genoa is hoisted - Halyard is worn and thus twists in the
direction of the rope strands
- Change the halyard
Reefing line fouls - Wrong angle on reefing line.
First sheave too far from drum unit.
- Genoa unfurled too quickly
- Change position of first sheave
- Slow down the unfurling of the genoa by
winding the reefing line once round a winch.
7/ OPTIONAL EXTRAS
7.1 - HALYARD DIVERTERS
When the genoa is furled or unfurled, if the angle between the halyard and the forestay is too tight, the halyard risks being twisted round as
the halyard swivel turns.
2 options are available to solve this problem:
7.1.1 : Halyard diverter wheel
To install the diverter wheel, it is necessary to dismantle the forestay
7.1.2 : Halyard feeder
To install the halyard feeder, it is not necessary to dismantle the forestay
2 sizes are available:
