11.2 If you ever need to remove a centerboard,instructions are included. (FIGURE 17)11. CENTERBOARDSThe centerboards are spring loaded forpositive locating at desired positions and toallow retraction if contacted from below.11.1 When the handle is lifted slightly andmoved forward in the key slot, the board is freeto descend. Several adjustment knots can beplaced in the line to permit the boards toextend to a variety of depths. When the boardis fully extended it should reach 19 1/2 inches(49.5cm) as measured from the bottom of thehull to the tip of the board. When the board isfully retracted, the centerboard line shouldmeasure 21 1/2 inches (51.6cm) from the deckto the underside of the centerboard handle. Toraise the board, pull up on the handle and slidethe line into the key slot just below the lastfigure-eight knot. (FIGURE 16)NYLOCK NUTS.S. WASHERRUBBER WASHERSPACERFIGURE 16RUBBER WASHERS.S.

12. DRAIN PLUGS13.2 Attach the jaw end of the diamond wire tothe diamond wire tang located below the masttang. Use a clevis pin and a cotter pin tosecure the wire. (FIGURE 20)12.1 Drain plugs are the most often forgottenitem during rigging, but among the mostimportant. Even championship sailors forget toput their drain plugs in once in a while, but youcan't go very far with them out. BE SURE TOCHECK YOUR DRAIN PLUGS BEFORELEAVING SHORE. Make certain the gasketsare in place and free of sand, or other debris,which can prevent sealing. The drain plugs arelocated below the lower gudgeon. Do notovertighten the drain plugs. This may distortthe rubber gaskets and water will leak into thehulls. (FIGURE 18)FIGURE 2013.3 Secure the diamond wire in the spreaderarm slot with large cotter pins. (FIGURE 20)13.4 Completely cover all cotter pins with tapeto protect the sails.13.5 Loosen the locknuts at each end of theturnbuckle and expand the turnbuckle, keepingthe threads in view inside the barrel. Note thatboth the locknuts rotate in the same direction.FIGURE 1813.6 Secure the bottoms of the turnbuckles tothe mast, ADD TANG TO STARBOARD SIDE.(FIGURE 20)13.MAST13.7 Tighten the wires evenly by rotating theturnbuckles and secure them with locknuts.When the turnbuckles and locknuts are tight,tie a 12" (30cm) piece of 1/8" line through oneturnbuckle body; around the front of the mast;and through the other turnbuckle body. Thiswill keep the turnbuckles from turning.9.1 Attach the spreader arms as shown andsecure them with cotter pins. (FIGURE 19)FIGURE 1910
WARNING:It is extremely important that theturnbuckles are adjusted equally.Overtightening one side can cause abend in the mast. The diamond wireadjustment not only affects mast bendand sail shape, it is an important supportcomponent of the mast extrusion. If thediamond wires are loose or broken, themast can be permanently distorted orcould fail completely. The diamond wirescannot be tightened sufficiently by hand.Use a wrench to make the last two orthree revolutions of the turnbuckles.Wires stretch with use and requireperiodic inspection and retightening.Shrouds &forestaynot shown.13.8 Locate the shroud wires and the upperforestay wire. Place the three wires on thelarge bell shackle. The upper forestay wireshould be positioned between shroud wires.(FIGURE 21)FIGURE 22tightening, secure the shackle pin to theshackle with safety wire to prevent the pin frombacking out. (FIGURE 21)13.9 Put the pin of the large shackle throughthe bottom hole on the mast tang. After13.10 Place the small bell shackle in themiddle hole of the mast tang. Slide one of thetrapeze wires onto the left side of the shackleand one on the right side of the shackle.(FIGURE 22)13.11 Secure the shackle by attaching the pinthrough the top hole of the mast tang. Be sureto tighten with a pair of pliers. (FIGURE 22)FIGURE 2111
14.3 Place the mast base over the mast stepball located on the front crossbar and insertthe mast step pin through the entire assembly.The pin should be visible on the opposite sideof the mast base. Secure the pin with clevisring. (FIGURE 24)14. RAISING THE MASTCAUTION:BEFORE RAISING THE MAST,BE SURE THE AREA IS FREE OFOVERHEAD POWER LINES. SHOULDTHE MAST COME IN CONTACT WITH ANOVERHEAD POWER LINE THE RESULTSCOULD BE FATAL.14.1 Secure the trapeze wires to the bottom ofthe mast so they will be out of the way whenraising the mast.FIGURE 2414.2 Attach the jib halyard line to each end ofthe jib halyard wire to form a very large loop.14.4 Attach the bridles to the furler.thenattach the furler to the forestay.Note: If the mast has to be laid downbefore raising, support it below theCOMPTIP and forward of the tillercrossbar assembly.FIGURE 25FIGURE 23The halyard line must be connected to thehalyard wire before the mast is raised, or youwill lose access to it when the mast is raised.(FIGURE 23)12
14.5 Attach the left shroud to the top hole ofthe left shroud adjuster with a 1/4" x 1/2" clevispin and lock ring. Secure the base of theshroud adjuster to the toggle with a clevis pinand lock ring. Then secure the toggle to thetang on the left hull using a clevis pin and lockring. (FIGURE 26)15. TRAPEZE WIRES15.1 Untie and clear the trapeze wires.15.2 Lead the trapeze shock cord through thegrommets on the outboard side of thetrampoline, then under the trampoline andthrough the opposite grommets.15.3 Arrange the trapeze wires so they leadoutside of the shrouds. Then tie the line to theJ & H handle with a bowline knot. After the lineis led through the thimble on the end of thetrapeze wire, attach the rope lock. Then tie theend of the line to the shock cord with anotherbowline knot. (FIGURE 27)*Note:SEE UPRIGHTINSTRUCTIONSON FOLLOWINGPAGEFIGURE 26FIGURE 2714.6 Repeat step 10.9 for the right shroud andshroud adjuster.13
16. Shroud Extender Installation16.1. The clevis pin holding the shroud to theshroud adjuster must be removed andreplaced by the ball lock pin that is part of theshroud extender wire assembly.16.2. Using the clevis pin removed in #1above, pin one end of the shroud extenderwire assembly to the shroud adjuster. Forsingle handed sailing the shroud tensionshould be less than that for racing. This is toreduce pressure on the quick release pin sothat it may be removed more easily to extendthe shroud.16.3. Attach the other end of the shroudextender wire assembly to the shroud per thedrawing. You may have to strip the wirecoating in order that the clamp will slide on theshroud.Note: The final tension of the shrouds andshroud adjustment will vary according topersonal preference. Shroud tension must berelieved to lower the mast.FIGURE 2917. FLOAT TOP/ LIFT ASSEMBLYSlide floatshaft intomast & rivetin place.FIGURE 28FIGURE 3114FIGURE 30

(FIGURE 37)20.4 Release the tension on the mainsheetwhen the tightening procedure is finished andreturn the boom to its normal position.NOTE: Whenever the boat is set up,tightening will be required to achieve propershroud tension.FIGURE 3717
22.2 Attach the shackle on the end of the jibhalyard wire to the head of the jib. (FIGURE40)21. JIB BLOCKS21.1 Remove the end stop of the left jib tracklocated on the hull. Insert one of the jibblocks into the track with the slide adjustmenton the block facing the rear of the boat.(FIGURE 39)21.2 Insert the end stop and secure. Apply asmall amount of silicone sealant to thethreads before reassembly.21.3 Repeat steps 21.1 and 21.2 for the rightjib block.FIGURE 4022.3 Wrap the jib luff pocket around the lowerforestay . Make sure that the jib halyard line isinside the luff pocket. Then engage the zipper.(FIGURE 40)22.4 Raise the sail by pulling on the jib halyardline and, at the same time, advancing thezipper down the luff until the jib tack can beattached to the shackle on the neck of theroller furler housing. (FIGURE 41)FIGURE 3922. JIB SAIL22.1CAUTION: Before attempting to raise thesails, the boat must be pointed into thewind.FIGURE 4118
22.5 Untie and store the jib halyard line.Connect the jib tensioner line to the block onthe end of the jib halyard wire. Thread thetensioner down and through the tack shackleand back up through the block on the halyardwire. Then secure it to tack shackle with halfhitches. (FIGURE 41)JIB SHOULD ONLY BE TENSIONEDWHEN THE MAIN IS SHEETED TIGHTLY.FIGURE 4322.10 To furl the jib, uncleat the jib sheet (bothport and starboard) and pull the furler line untilthe jib is completely furled. Do not partially furlthe sail because this will cause unevenstretching of the exposed sail.FIGURE 4222.6 Attach the jib clew blocks to the jib clewplate using a shackle. (FIGURE 42)22.11 Once the rigging has been tensioned,the jib luff may need final adjustment beforesailing.22.7 Attach the jib sheet as shown. (FIGURE43)23. MAIN SAIL22.8 Temporarily attach the roller furler line tothe jam cleat on the top of the front crossbar.23.1 Lay the sail flat. It's important that the sailis perfectly flat on the ground. A wrinkled sailcould lead to a tear in the sail fabric when thebattens are pushed into their pockets.22.9 To adjust the roller furler line:A. disconnect the clew blocks;B. pull the furler line all the way out ofthe spool and cleat it off on the forwardcrossbar;C. wrap the jib clockwise completelyaround the forestay;D. reconnect the clew blocks (this is thefurled position);E. to unfurl the jib, release the furler linefrom the cleat on the front crossbar andpull in on the jib sheet. (FIGURE 43)23.2 Place the battens next to the properpocket.23.3 Insert the battens, flat end first.23.4 Tie each batten as shown. (FIGURE 44)19
23.10 Pull the main halyard to raise the sail. Ifthe sail binds in the track, back it down a bit,then continue pulling up. Coating the luff with asail lubricant will make raising the sail easier. Itis recommended that this be done on aperiodic basis to prevent the luff from binding.A sail feeder can also be installed on the mastif desired.23.11 Hoist the sail fully, run halyard aroundthe cleat, through the block, apply tension, andtie off at the cleat. (FIGURE 45)Tensioncompletelyto keep sailhead withinaluminumsection attop of mast.FIGURE 44Note: Final batten tension will vary with thewind conditions and personal taste in sailshape. Do not overtension the battens.23.5 After the battens have been tensioned,check to make sure that the boat is pointedinto the wind and the halyard is free and nottwisted around the mast or shrouds.FIGURE 4524. DOWNHAUL AND OUTHAUL23.6 Slide sail foot onto the boom.24.1 Attach the downhaul and outhaulassembly as shown below. (FIGURE 46)23.7 Pin tack of sail at front boom end.23.8 Attach the shackle on the halyard to thegrommet in the headboard at the top of the sailand secure it with the shackle pin. (FIGURE#41)23.9 Insert and feed the bolt rope into themast track while raising the sail. (FIGURE #41)CAUTION: WHEN RAISING THE MAINSAIL.STAY CLEAR OF THE FURLINGHANDLE AS IT SPINS FREE TO UNROLLTHE FURLED MAIN SAIL.

degree position before the hatch is tightened.The lever can be tightened in this position andnot secure the lid!!!25. HULL STORAGE HATCHESIt is very important to fully secure the hatcheswhen sailing. The compartments are sealedwith bulkheads to prevent flooding the entirehull if the hatch fails. The hatch should also befully secured when trailering to prevent loss.Inspect the hatch and become familiar with thelocking mechanism.FOURTH-Continue turning the locking lever inthe clockwise direction until the gaskets arepartly compressed. It is not necessary to fullycompress the gaskets to achieve a securehatch and may damage the gaskets if overtightened.The "T" bar will turn a full 90 degrees toengage the deck when locking. You will hear adistinctive clunk when the bar hits the 90degree stop built into the hatch.NOTE: It will take fewer turns of the lever toremove the hatch. When reinstalling, it is veryimportant to further loosen the lever to assureproper "T" bar clearance in the hull!!!When removing the hatch the bar will turn 90degrees back and hit the stop again.26. THE TENT (option)The tent is installed below the boom and maybe installed around the furled mainsail. Theboom should be supported by the topping lift.Be sure that items stored in the hull do notblock the "T" bar from turning fully and hittingthe 90 degree stop.Attach the collar around the mast below theboom.FIRST-Spin the locking lever counterclockwise to fully loosen the "T" bar. This willallow full clearance in the hull when turning tothe locked position.Attach the boom straps.Tie the halyard to the outboard end of theboom.SECOND-Move the "T" bar to the openposition. Align the "T" bar and the lever as avisual indicator of the "T" bar position when thehatch is placed in the hull.Attach the line and bungee cord hooks alongthe outer edge of the wing trampolines,passing the line over the wings.THIRD-Turn the locking lever clockwise untilyou hear the "CLUNK" and confirm that thelever is positioned 90 degrees to the openposition (This confirmation may seemredundant but the hatch must engage the hullat the full 90 degree position to assure asecure seal!).Pull the halyard up to level the rear door.Tension the bungee and lines.Attach the sticky back velcro along the hull lipto accept the side wall velcro.Place short sections of sticky back velcrounder the front of the cabin to accept the fronttent hold down velcro (it is advised to lightlysand the hull lip and under side of the carCAUTION!! The "T" bar may contact itemsstored in the hull or the lip of the storagecompartment and not move to the full 9021
cabin to accept the sticky back more permantly.To waterproof the tent. a tent seam spray must be used and the luff grove of the mast must beblocked with a dab of silicone.27.

28. SAILING THE 21 SPORT CRUISERRIGHTING THE 21 CRUISERCAUTION: WHEN RAISING THE MAINSAIL.STAY CLEAR OF THE FURLINGHANDLE AS IT SPINS FREE TO UNROLLTHE FURLED MAIN SAIL. IT IS BEST TOSTAND TO THE AFT AND STARBOARDWHEN PULLING THE MAIN HALYARD UP.The 21 will right quite easily when using themast float and standard shroud extendersystem along with a righting line. Keep aminimum of 15’ of line available to right theboat.When capsized, the mast float is designed tokeep the boat from turtling. Climb up to theupper shroud and remove the quick pin. Withthe wind coming perpendicular to the forestay,the boat will be righted with a minimumamount of crew weight.TOPPING LIFTThe topping lift is only attached when furlingthe sail. It must be removed from the boomend when sailing. It may be hooked to thetang provided at the bottom of the starboarddiamond wire or.: A short piece of bungee may beadded to the connection points to allow you tounhook it.: But keep it at the rear of the boom.The bungee will stretch when the sail issheeted.The boat has been righted with crew weight aslittle as 280 LBS in testing the system.It is advised that you should become familiarwith and even test the system so that youunderstand the workings before a true needarises.FURLING THE MAINSAIL1. Attach the topping lift2. Detach the down haul and hook it to thetang provided at the starboard diamond wirelocation.3. Pull the furling handle clear of the mast4. Ease the halyard as you turn the handle ina clockwise direction.NOTE: IT IS ADVISED THAT THIS IS NOTA COMPLETE TEXT OF RIGHTINGTECHNIQUE AND FURTHER STUDY ANDOR LESSONS BY YOUR DEALER AREREQUIRED FOR THE NOVICE TO AVOIDDAMAGE TO THE BOAT OR INJURY.Reefing: Stop at the desired reefing point (besure that the sail head is stopped at thealuminum track reef point when using the firstreef). Insert the furling handle into the mastand tie off the halyard. Hook the downhaulinto a reef point grommet and tension. Rerunthe outhaul and tied off taught. Detach thetopping lift and your sailing.23
Do not leave the mast tip in direct sunlight forextended periods. Cover the tip whenever it isnot in use so ultraviolet rays will not degradethe surface.29. TRAILERINGWhen trailering the 21, follow all instructionsincluded with your trailer and obey all therelevant state laws concerning trailering boats.Always trailer the luff track facing up. Do notallow mast tie-downs to touch the luff track.Use a minimum of 1 1/2" of soft paddingaround the mast tip and place the paddingbetween the luff track and any tie-down lines.Remove each wing and insert it into theopposite side of the boat. The right wing will gointo the left hull and the left wing into the righthull. This will allow the wings to remain in astraight-up position to reduce the beam of theboat to a lawful trailering width.When storing the mast, be sure the luff track isfacing up. DO NOT apply any pressure to theluff track during storage.Tie down the mast both in the front and in theback (below the COMPTIP) to prevent themast from coming loose during transport.Please remember that the COMPTIP mast isnot total guarantee against injury or death inthe event of a mast/power line contact. If thesurface or luff groove is contaminated withmoisture, salt, dirt or other foreign matter, or ifthe mast touches a line carrying extremelyhigh voltage, an electrical injury could stilloccur. Additionally, the protection is confined tothe tip area only. A contact of the aluminumportion of the mast, shrouds or forestay is stillextremely dangerous. The only sure protectionfor any sailor, on any boat, is the completeavoidance of electrical power lines.Securely strap or tie down your boat to thetrailer before starting your way.WARNING:NEVER trailer your 21 so that the plastic lufftrack of the COMPTIP rests on the rearcrossbar or mast support because this mayresult in damage to the luff track.WARNING: DO NOT USE WINCH LINEFROM YOUR TRAILER TO TIE THE MAST.31. ROUTINE MAINTENANCEThe 21 must be tightened periodically. Aftersailing and trailering, inspect all nuts, boltsand, most importantly, the shrouds andgudgeons to make sure that these criticalelements are fitted tightly and properly toinsure safe performance.30. COMPTIP MAINTENANCEBecause surface contamination can allow theCOMPTIP to conduct electricity, the fiberglasstip should be carefully and thoroughly cleanedwith fresh water after each use. In the eventfresh water will not remove surface film orother contamination, use soap and water only.DO NOT attempt to clean the COMPTIP mastwith any type of solvent. Acetone or othersolvents will damage the luff track.Use beach wheels or dollies when launchingthe boat off a beach. Never drag it over sandor rocks.After each sail, especially a salt water sail,thoroughly rinse your boat with fresh, clean24
water to remove salt, grime, or other foreignmaterial. This will help prevent metal partsfrom corroding.32 SAFETYEVERYSAILORMUSTTAKERESPONSIBILITY FOR INSURING THEIRSAFETY,ASWELLASTHEIRPASSENGERS SAFETY, ON THE WATER.When not using your boat, keep the trampolineand hulls covered to protect them from thedamaging rays of the sun.
