PUMP THE BILGES
TAYC FOS PAGE 3 AUG 2008
LIFT THE PANEL TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BILGE
BEFORE EACH USE OF THE IDEAL 18, YOU SHOULD PUMP THE BILGE. REMOVE THE NUT HOLDING THE BILGE PANEL IN PLACE
INSERT BILGE PUMP (STORED UNDER THE FOREDECK) AND PUMP TO THE COCKPIT, IT WILL FLOW OUT OF THE SCUPPERS. WHEN FINISHED RESTOW PUMP AND SECURE PANEL
SECURING FENDERS & SCUPPERS
TAYC FOS PAGE 4 AUG 2008
THE FENDER AT THE MAST
IS REMOVED BY SLIPPING
THE FENDER THROUGH
THE EYE IN THE END OF
THE LINE, DO NOT UNTIE
THE KNOT
THE OTHER FENDER IS
ATTACHED MIDSHIPS
THROUGH THE BLOCK
AND CAM CLEAT, FEED IT
THROUGH THE BLOCK
AND CAM CLEAT THEN TIE
A KNOW TO SECURE IT
DEPENDING ON THE
BOATS LOCATION AT THE
DOCK, THERE WILL
NORMALLY BE TWO
FENDERS ATTACHED.
NOTE THE ORIENTATION
FOR YOUR RETURN
THE IDEAL HAS A SELF
DRAINING COCKPIT
THROUGH TWO SCUPPERS
AT THE STERN OF THE
COCKPIT. PUSH THEM
DOWN TO OPEN AND UP
TO CLOSE.
REMOVING JIB SHEET SAIL COVER 1 OF 2
TAYC FOS PAGE 5 AUG 2009
NEXT REMOVE THE TIES HOLDING THE SAIL COVER DOWN, IF ANY, AND OPEN THE ZIPPER
CONTINUE TO UNZIP THE SAIL COVER
FIRST STEP IS TO LOOSEN THE SPINNAKER HALYARD WHICH HOLDS THE JIB SAIL COVER IN PLACE
TO CONTINUE YOU MUST PULL DOWN ON THE SAIL COVER WHILE FEEDING OUT ON THE SPINNAKER HALYARD
REMOVING THE JIB SAIL COVER 2 OF 2
TAYC FOS PAGE 6 AUG 2008
ATTACH THE SPINNAKER HALYARD TO THE RING ON THE FORWARD PART OF THE MAST. TRIM HALYARD UNTIL IT IS SNUG.
NEATLY FOLD THE SAIL COVER AND PLACE IN UNDER THE FORE DECK
ONCE THE ENTIRE COVER IS UNZIPPED, REMOVE THE SPINNAKER HALYARD FROM THE COVER
REMOVE MAIN SAIL COVER AND STOW
TAYC FOS PAGE 7 AUG 2008
MOVE TO THE AFT END OF
THE BOOM AND UNTIE

TAYC FOS PAGE 8 AUG 2008
SECURE THE SHACKEL TO THE HEAD OF THE MAIN SAIL. MAKE SURE THE CUNNINGHAM IS RIGGED AND LOOSE. YOU WILL ADJUST THIS AFTER THE SAIL IS RAISED.
SLACK THE BOOM TOPPING LIFT BY SLIDING THE KNOT TOWARD THE BOOM LOOSEN AND UNTANGLE THE MAIN SHEET
FIRST LOOSEN THE MAIN HALYARD AT IT’S CAMCLEAT. THEN REMOVE THE MAIN HALYARD FROM THE RING FORWARD OF THE MAST AND MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAR TO RAISE
PREPARING SPINNAKER 1 OF 3
TAYC FOS PAGE 9 AUG 2008
FIND THE RED RIBBON ON
THE PORT SIDE OF THE
SAIL, START AT THE HEAD
OR TACK AND MAKE SURE
THE RED TAPE IS FREE,
LEAVE THE REMAINDER
OF THE SAIL IN THE BAG
DO THE SAME THING
WITH THE GREEN RIBBON
ON THE STARBORD SIDE
OF THE SAIL, LEAVE THE
REMAINDER OF THE SAIL
IN THE BAG.
PULL SPINNAKER BAG
FROM UNDER DECK, OPEN
IT, REMOVE THE SHEETS
AND THEN DETERMINE IF
THE SAIL IS STOWED
PROPERLY. FIND THE
HEAD, TACK AND CLEW
AND LAY OPEN IN THE
BAG
MAKE SURE THE
SPINNAKER HALYARD IS
FREE TO RUN. IT WILL
GO UP ON THE PORT SIDE
BETWEEN THE SHROUDS
AND THE FORESTAY,
ATTACH THE SPINNAKER
HALYARD TO THE HEAD
OF THE SAIL
PREPARING SPINNAKER 2 OF 3
TAYC FOS PAGE 10 AUG 2008
THIS IS THE TURNING BLOCK LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STERN
THE PORT SHEET GOES AROUND THE PORT SHROUDS. BOTH SHEETS ARE ATTACHED TO THE SAIL BY PUTTING THE END OF THE LINE THROUGH THE GROUMET AT THE TACK OR CLEW AND TYING A STOPPER KNOT (FIGURE 8 KNOT) THE STARBOARD SHEET GOES OUTSIDE THE STBD SHROUDS, AROUND THE FORESTAY TO THE CLEW
BOTH SHEETS START AT THE MIDSHIPS BLOCK AND CAM CLEAT, RUN AFT TO THE BLOCK AT THE STERN AND THEN OUTSIDE OF THE SHROUDS TO THE TACK (RED RIBBON)
PREPARING THE SPINNAKER 3 OF 3
TAYC FOS PAGE 11 AUG 2008
AFTER THE SPINNAKER SHEETS ARE RUN AND ATTACHED TO THE SAIL, SNAP THE TWEAKERS ON THE SHEETS.
THE SPINNAKER POLE IS STORED ON THE STBD SIDE OF THE BOOM AND HELD IN PLACE WITH A BUNGEE CORD. RELEASE THE POLE TOPPING LIFT AND ATTACH TO THE EYE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE POLE
THE “TWEAKER” HELPS SHAPE THE SPINNAKER. IT CONSIST OF A LINE FORWARD OF THE SHROUDS ON EACH SIDE WITH A SNAP AT THE AND LEADING TO A EYE AND CAM CLEAT
YOU CAN RUN THE STARBOARD SHEET THROUGH THE FORWARD END OF THE POLE AT THIS POINT OR WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO HOIST THE SPINNAKER
BOAT LOCATIONS AT THE DOCK.
TAYC FOS PAGE 12 AUG 2008
It is very important that
the boats be returned to
the EXACT SAME
LOCATION IN THE EXACT
SAME ORIENTATION (BOW
OUT OR IN). LOOK AT
YOUR FENDERS, LINES
AND LOCATION.
STOWING THE MAIN 1 OF 3
TAYC FOS PAGE 13 AUG 2008
CONTINUE UNTIL YOU HAVE THE SAIL NEATLY FLAKED, THEN SECURE WITH THE SAIL TIES. GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SAIL AND BOOM AND BRING THE END THROUGH THE EYE IN THE TIE
REMOVE THE MAIN HALYARD AND ATTACH IT TO THE RING ON THE FORWARD SIDE OF THE MAST. TRIM THE MAIN HALYARD SNUG, THEN START FLAKING THE SAIL ON THE BOOM
STOWING THE MAIN 2 OF 3
TAYC FOS PAGE 14 AUG 2009
REMOVE THE SPINNAKER HALYARD IF ATTACHED TO THE RING, IT IS USED FOR THE JIB SAIL COVER. REATTACH THE POLE TOPPING LIFT TO THE RING IF NOT ALREADY ATTACHED
CONTINUE TO FLAKE AND TIE AS YOU PROCEED UP THE BOOM. MAKE THE SAIL TIES TIGHT. ONCE THE SAIL IS SECURED, GET THE SAIL COVER FROM UNDER THE FOREDECK.
STOWING THE MAIN 3 OF 3
TAYC FOS PAGE 15 AUG 2008
NEXT MOVE TO THE STERN AND TIE THE SAIL COVER TO THE EYE HOLDING THE TOPPING LIFT. WHEN THAT IS SECURE, FASTEN THE TWIST SNAPS UNDER THE BOOM. SECURE LINES
SECURE THE SAIL COVER TO THE MAST, ZIP IT UP AND TIE IT UP, IF SMALL LINES ARE ATTACHED.
STOWING SPINNAKER
TAYC FOS PAGE 16 AUG 2008
SNAP THE TWEAKERS TO THE CAM CLEAT AND TIGHTEN. MAKE UP LINES
REMOVE THE SHEETS AND COIL LINE, PLACE COILED LINES IN THE BAG ON TOP OF THE SAIL
REMOVE THE SPINNAKER HALYARD AND ATTACH TO THE RING ON THE TOP OF THE JIB COVER. MAKE SURE THE SPINNAKER IS DRY, PLACE IN BAG SO THAT THE EDGES RUN FREE AND THE HEAD TACK AND CLEW ARE ON TOP
SECURING THE JIB
TAYC FOS PAGE 17 AUG 2008
YOU OR YOUR CREW MEMBER SHOULD PULL ON THE HALYARD WHILE THE PERSON AT THE JIB CONTINUES TO ZIP THE COVER OVER THE SAIL. NOTE THERE IS A GAP IN THE ZIPPER WHERE THE JIB SHEETS ATTACH
WHEN THE ZIPPER IS ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM, USE THE LINE PROVIDED TO ATTACH THE SAIL COVER TO THE DECK OF THE BOAT (IF PROVIDED) OR THERE MAY BE A SECOND ZIPPER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE JIB, ZIP THIS UP
PUT THE JIB COVER AROUND THE JIB AT EYE LEVEL AND ZIP A SHORT DISTANCE. ENSURE THE SPINNAKER HALYARD IS ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF THE COVER.
