steps to prepare your new boat for sailing are not difficult, and you can do it yourself by reading this
manual and the General Handbook and following the recommended procedures.
Be sure to read the section on trailering and launching (pages 3 and 9 in this book and pages 6 through
11 in the General Handbook) before towing your boat to the launching site.

forward lower shrouds and the forestay before lowering the mast.

that they are on proper sides of the spreaders. You should never
attempt to raise the mast unless the upper shrouds (those that pass
over the spreaders) and the aft lower shrouds are attached to the
deck fittings and the turnbuckles well "started" into their barrels. The
turnbuckles must not be completely tightened however, because
