Cast off the mast tie-downs, remove the tie-down strap, and clear the cockpit and seats by removing or stowing the boom and any other gear. With the mast lying
in the carrying forks, uncoil the shrouds and forestay, being exceedingly
careful not to kink the cables at the swaged end fittings. One kink soon
will soon result in broken strands and cable. Make sure the main halyard
is shackled within reach, preferably to the spinnaker eye. Now is the
time to install the spinnaker halyard and masthead fly, if one is to be
used. IMPORTANT: Watch for overhead power lines and tree limbs, they are your greatest hazard. Unfortunately, they are common around ramps and launching areas.
