<strong>UCI</strong> J/22 Sailing <strong>Manual</strong> 8<br />
o Once mostly tight, wrap additional wraps around the winch.<br />
o To tighten line further, pull on the line and crank the winch handle (stored in the white<br />
plastic pocket nearby) at the same time.<br />
Note: Be careful not to get an override when using a winch. See image on the right. This is<br />
created when you apply too many wraps when pulling in slack under a load or when the line is<br />
pulled from the winch below a horizontal position. If you do create an override, you will need to<br />
unwrap the line and apply pressure upward to remove it from the winch.<br />
Preparation and Rigging<br />
Pre-Sailing Checklist<br />
Check the Weather<br />
You can check weather sources online at the <strong>UCI</strong>SA website (sailingclub.net) or call the Newport<br />
Beach Harbor Patrol marine weather recording at (949) 675-0503. Program the Newport Beach<br />
Harbor Patrol phone number (949) 723-1002 into your phone for use in an emergency. You may<br />
also call 911 and ask that your call be directed to the Newport Beach Harbor Patrol.<br />
Check the current weather and predicted weather for the day. Double check the weather once<br />
you arrive at the sailbase and again before you leave the dock. Weather predictions are not<br />
always correct.<br />
Make sure:<br />
o The wind is under 18 knots<br />
o No Santa Ana winds (wind is not strong from the North or East)<br />
o Note height and times of high and low tides<br />
Make sure you have proper personal gear<br />
o Closed-toed non-marking shoes<br />
o Hat or visor<br />
o Sunglasses<br />
o Sunscreen<br />
o Wind and waterproof clothes<br />
o Drinking water<br />
Be sure to check the logbook and sign out your boat. (you do not do this in classes)<br />
Rigging<br />
1. Remove the cockpit cover, roll or fold it and stow under foredeck. Don’t leave the cover<br />
on the dock.<br />
2. Look over the boat to make sure all the equipment is in working order.<br />
3. Get a long-handled brush from the dock box next to the J/22 jib box and brush the algal<br />
growth off the rudder. This should be done every time before you sail. Retrurn the brush<br />
to the box when you get your jib.<br />
4. Open the sliding hatch cover all the way. Always leave the cover open, and never step<br />
on it.
