[quote=rungi]There is nothing wrong with it thanks for posting the step. The velcro is convenient and it is a tie down. Not sure about your use of the word unnecessary gadget. It is unnecessary to tie down the jib halyard at all but it makes it easier. The manual state to just tie off the halyards. It does not specify the gadget or mention to tie down the forestay.
I do not tie down the main halyard because it is hooked to the down haul for trailering it is an extra step not needed when stepping the mast.
The forestay (if not tied down) can still potentially swing around the side stay/tapeze/diamond wires especially in the wind that is why I like the idea about tie down together with velcro strap.
Have you step the mast on a Nacra 5.7 solo?[/quote]
