nearest the channel open.<br />
When tying up the middle boat (which is the second boat in the slip) use the bridle lines that<br />
are fixed on the dock at the bow and hook them to the eyes on the bow of the boat. There<br />
should be two lines for the bow. This will keep the bow snug. Use a spring line between the<br />
stern cleat of the boat that is tied to the inner dock, and the winch of your boat (the middle<br />
boat). These lines are pre-measured with fixed loops on both ends. These spring lines will keep<br />
the boat from going too far forward in the slip and will keep it parallel to the boats on both<br />
sides if the stern lines are tied correctly.<br />
Next, tie the stern-line of your boat, to the boat that is tied to the inner dock. When the third<br />
boat comes in to the slip, they will be able to use the dock to stop. They will use the fixed stern<br />
and spring lines and will secure the boat’s bow-line to the cleat on the dock.<br />
Use a spring line from the outer boat to the middle boat. When all 3 boats are in the slip there<br />
must be spring-lines on both sides of the middle boat and the stern lines from each outer<br />
boat attached to the middle boat.<br />
If there are only two boats in the slip, the middle boat will only be tied up to the dock at the<br />
bow and to the other boat. Do not block the open slip with spring lines or a stern line.<br />
Mainsail<br />
1. Attach main halyard to the end of the boom and<br />
take up slack.<br />
2. Untie main sail ties and pull out the slug pin,<br />
releasing the main sail slugs.<br />
3. Fold the sail on top of the boom, keeping the<br />
battens straight, then use sail ties to secure the sail.<br />
4. Note: The luff of the main sail should move aft<br />
as you fold it so that the battens remain parallel to the<br />
boom.<br />
5. Cover the tiller and clip the shock cord to the grommet on the tiller cover to secure the tiller.<br />
6. The backstay should be snug and cleated, but not too tight.<br />
Loosen the backstay, so that there is a small amount of pressure on it. No slack, but not pulled tight.<br />
The mast should be straight. To do this, you may need to loosen the mainsheet a bit. If the mainsheet<br />
was cleated when the backstay was tight, then as you loosen the back stay the boom could rise, and<br />
you should loosen the mainsheet to allow this. Once the back stay is re-cleated with light pressure,<br />
snug up the mainsheet.
