Lore
This is the Spirit C72, a luxury Classic sailing sloop finished with modern equipment and latest of safety and comfort intergrated into one 72 ft package. Designed for sailing the sea between Mainland and the arids, she can island hop with style, and with ease as she has a very powerful single medium diesel Engine and a very small turning radius, and if that wasn't enough she comes with a small but effective bow thruster; making navigating tight areas very easy, so that you can anchor in the most enclosed spots. She has plenty of storage around and makes use of all the space inside the sharp lines of this classic design. She also has a jib pole, a toy to be played with going downwind in light conditions, it is not advised to use the jib pole in strong weather or for long distance journeys as it is very fragile. She can handle reasonable chop but no captain of hers should take her out knowing a storm lies ahead. She is a simple Cruising boat designed to handle light seas and warm waters.
Jib Pole operation
Firstly, attach the Halyard onto the Middle rope anchor, this is the one that faces in the direction on its own. There are 3 rope anchors at the bottom of the pole and 2 of them face down, and 1 faces up, attach it to the one facing up. Ensure that the Genoa Stow button in the sunken Cockpit is activated, so the Genoa is tucked close to the mast. Unattach the rope from the Winch of the Tack that you plan to have the pole lean out towards from the Clew of the Genoa, and then attach it to one of the 2 remaining rope anchors. Then finally acquire a rope from one of the 2 rope lockers in the sunken cockpit and attach the final rope anchor on the jib pole to the middle standalone Rope Anchor on the clew of the Genoa, Once this is done you are ready to go, hoist up the Genoa and unstow it, then interact with the bottom of the Jib pole to release it from its position, the pole may flap about but fret not: use the halyard controls on the side of the mast to hoist up the Jib pole to the level you want, ideally it should be perpendicular to the mast. And then use the Genoa Winch to haul it backwards, ideally perpendicular to the beam of the boat. Happy downwind Sailing, just make sure not to tack or Jibe.
To Put it back, simply put the boat head to wind and haul the pole back down with the halyard Controls and wait for it to clip back into the connection point, then reattach all the ropes to their original positions with the Halyard back onto the Mast rope anchor.
If anyone is still reading this, just for clarification, the Jib pole does not add any speed or effectiveness, I just like it cause it looks cool and adds to the feel when sailing downwind.
Sam dis wat you wanted? + Happy birday
