3. If you have a third reef point, rig an endless messenger between the second and third cringles
with a short end loose as shown. After you have put in the second reef, untie the now unused
first reefing line, tie it to the messenger and pull it through the third cringle and tie to the
appropriate eyes trap (or through the grommet in the foot of the sail if you prefer this method)
and you are ready to set the third reef.
SEE FIGURE #3 -
C) Reefing Procedure
1. Ease boom yang and mainsheet - make sure topping lift is secured in position.
2. Lower main halyard so that tack reef cringle can be placed on gooseneck reef hook. Retension
main halyard when hooked in place.
3. Clew reef line must now be tensioned so that clew reef cringle is brought down snugly against
boom.
4. Readjust mainsheet and boom yang.
5. Use similar method for second reef.
6. The reefed folds of cloth can be rolled up and secured with short lines through the reef points
and around the folds and boom. Be sure to untie these first when preparing to shake out the
reef.
7. UNREEFING: Just reverse this process to Unreel mainsail.
5. FUEL SYSTEM
5.1) Fuel Tank:
Your fuel tank is built of welded marine grade aluminum with internal baffles.
The fuel tank is positioned in the keel cavity under the main cabin sole. Removable panels in the sole
provide complete access to all fittings, gauges, and removable inspection plate.
All 40 foot model fuel tanks have additional pick up and return fittings for an optional auxiliary
generator. If no generator is installed at the factory, these are plugged with removable caps for possible
future use.
5.2) Fueling:
Before opening the deck-mounted fuel inlet cap, be sure all open flames are extinguished, no person is
smoking, plus that all electrical circuits and the main switch are turned “off”. The fuel nozzle must
contact the metal deck plate to ground static electricity.
The fuel tank vent is located on the hull side immediately adjacent to the deck fill plate. When you
hear a burbling sound from the air escaping through the vent, your tank is full. Wash off any spilled
fuel on the deck or hull side with fresh water.
It is good practice to always keep your tank full when the boat is to be idle for extended periods. This
will prevent condensation forming in the air cavity above the fuel in a partially full tank and possibly
contaminating the fuel with water. In some cases, the denser water settling to the tank bottom could
adversely effect engine performance.
6. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION OF POWER
