Assuming this is a Tiger question, The manual is very helpful for this question - link: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.hobiecat.com%2Fdigital_assets%2Ftigerassy.pdf (Page 15 specifically) If inquiring on a Wild Cat this is the link: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.hobiecat.com%2Fdigital_assets%2Fwildcat_gb_201412.pdf (page 37 specifically) |

for the Wildcat i Ty the knot on the sail side and not on the mast side (see the manual ) I find it easyer to unhook To unhook i raise the sail and turn the mast rotaion max to the port side and let go the pressure on the hoist rope what i can remember is to unhook the tiger sail we tuned the mast rotation to the starboard side |

Wildwind makes everything look easy! Great Videos!!! I found two possible problems on the 2004. First, the top sheave was very worn rubbing metal on metal. Second, the lower sheave was partially broken and had a sharp edge which could have cut the line. I inserted a nylon sleeve in the upper sheave and it now works well. I replaced the lower sheave with one with ball bearings and it now performs well. |
