Typical Setup

For use with furling sails that are rarely lowered.

1. Car locked in position near the top of the track.
2. Sail hoisted until the soft eye in the end of the standing halyard exits the mast and can be placed over the upper attachment lug on the car.
3. Soft eye of the tensioning halyard tail is placed over the lower attachment lug on the car.
4. When load is taken up by the tensioning halyard tail, the plunger stops are lifted and locked in the "up" (disengaged) position.
5. Once the desired halyard tension is achieved, the plunger stops are released to engage with the stop holes in the track.
6. When load has been transferred to the locked car, the tensioning halyard tail may be removed.

Track Fastening

• Track fastenings: 8mm (5/16") countersunk fasteners at 100mm (3 15/16") centres.
