De-Rigging - BIC Sport Open 56000 Guia Del Usuario

• If the wind is over 10 knots: apply maximum tension to the Cunningham =
allow the sail to open in the gusts = gives you more control.
Visual checkpoint: the leech of the sail starts to become loose.
• If the wind is less than 10 knots: apply less tension = gives the sail a tighter
leech = fuller profi le = more power.
• Mainsheet ratchet block: The red lever turns it "on" or "off".
• In "on" mode = the mainsheet can only be pulled in one direction = the block
will "click" = the mainsheet tension decreases.
• In "off" mode = the mainsheet can freely move in both directions.
• Daggerboard: It should be positioned according to the prevalent wind
conditions and angle of sail.
• For strong winds or downwind sailing, raise the daggerboard slightly to let the
boat plane.
• In lighter winds or upwind sailing, lower the daggerboard to give the boat
more traction through the water. Again, the best daggerboard position will
depend on the user and sailing conditions, so try different positions to see
what works for you!

7- DE-RIGGING

a. Release the tension on the Cunningham.
b. Undo the automatic snap hooks at the bottom of the mainsheet ratchet block
and the Cunningham.
c. Lift the rig out of the boat and remove the mast from the sail. Remember to
leave the boom, Cunningham and mainsheet (with pulleys) attached to the sail.
d. Roll the sail from the head. Place the sail, mast, boom and tackle together in
the rig bag.
e. Remove the daggerboard and rudder from the hull and place them in their
foam sleeves for protection.
ADDITIONAL TIPS:
• When rolling the sail, make sure that it is rolled fi rmly so that little excess sail
material is left loose in the bag. This will ensure the long term durability of
your sail and help to prevent any creasing off the monofi lm.
