1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new LDC 2000 and thank you for

choosing an RS product. We are confident that you will have many hours of

great sailing and racing in this truly excellent design.

The LDC 2000 is an exciting boat to sail and offers fantastic performance.

This manual has been compiled to help you to gain the maximum enjoyment

from your LDC 2000, in a safe manner. It contains details of the craft, the

equipment supplied or fitted, its systems, and information on its safe operation

and maintenance. Please read this manual carefully and be sure that you

understand its contents before using your LDC 2000. For safety information

concerning the CE certification please refer to the Owners Manual provided

with the boat.

This manual will not instruct you in boating safety or seamanship. If this is

your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of craft that you are not familiar

with, for your own safety and comfort, please ensure that you have adequate

experience before assuming command of the craft. If you are unsure, RS,

your RS dealer, or your national sailing federation –for example, the Royal

Yachting Association –will be able to advise you of a local sailing school, or a

competent instructor.

Please keep this manual in a secure place and hand it over to the new

owner if you sell the boat.

3. COMMISSIONING

3.1 Preparation

Your LDC 2000 comes complete with all the components necessary to take

the boat sailing. In order to commission it, you will need the following tools:

Pliers or a shackle key

Small, flat-bladed screw driver

Small Pozidrive screwdriver (PZ 2)

8mm Spanner

PVC electrician’s tape

Whilst your LDC 2000 has been carefully prepared, it is important that new

owners should check that shackles and knots are tight. This is especially

important when the boat is new, as travelling can loosen seemingly tight

fittings and knots. It is also important to check such items prior to sailing

regularly.

3.2 Unpacking

Having unpacked your LDC 2000, you should check that you have all of the

items listed below before throwing away any of the packing, as there may be

some small items still wrapped.

1 x LDC 2000 hull

1 x mast

1 x boom

1 x rudder and rudder stock, with tiller extension

1 x main sail

3.3 Rigging the Mast

To complete this section you will require:

The mast

A flat-bladed screw driver, pozidrive screwdriver and a 8mm spanner

Fitting the Spreaders

It is worth taking time to ensure that this section is completed correctly.

Improperly fitted spreaders will result in strange sailing characteristics, and

may even result in failure of the mast.

1. Carefully unpack the spreaders from the top of the mast, being sure not

to damage or lose any of the securing split rings.

2. Unwind the shrouds and forestay from around the mast, and unwrap

from the packaging.

3. Connect

the

Shrouds to

the lower

key hole in

the mast

4. To fit the spreaders

inboard end, refer to the

table below and the Selden

Vernier Adjustment

Instructions page.

Note: This is a starting place for rig settings. It will provide the mast with

sufficient support for general sailing. Contact Class Association members for

more detailed settings for racing.

5. Adjust the

spreader

outboard end

and shroud

according to the

table and the

Selden

Instructions

page.

6. Finally, tape up all the

securing pins and rings

both inboard and outboard

to prevent them from

being damaged, or from

damaging the gennaker.

7. If a trapeze pack is to be fitted. Connect the wire T terminals to the

upper key hole in the mast now before you step the mast.

Attachment of Spreader.

Primary Pin: Fit down through the bracket’s primary hole and the Fwd or Aft

spreader hole as required.

Adjuster Pin: Fit down through a hole 1 to 4, and through A to C or through a hole 5 to 7,

and through D to E.

Please see the table on the previous page for the specific positions.

Spreader Ends

Spreader End Cap:

The spreader end cap incorporates two shroud wire slots to give a tight grip on either 2.5 or 3mm wire. The

sizes are identified on the front face of the end cap (See diagram above). To find which wire slot you

require for your mast, please see the table below.

The end cap can also be rotated so that the shroud can be positioned at either the forward or aft position of

the spreader end (see diagram above). To find out which position is required for your mast, please see the

table below.

To attach the shroud, slacken the end screw, rotate the end clamp if necessary, then insert the shroud.

Ensure that the shroud is tensioned between T-Terminal and spreader tip, then tighten the screw firmly.

This method “locks in” the dihedral angle.

Length Adjustment:

The position is described by the number of adjustment holes visible (e.g. In the diagram above there are 1

½ holes visible). Please see the table above for your class specific positions.

Security

All clevis pins must be fitted with the flat head on top, and locked with a split ring. Tape all split rings, pins

and the outboard end of the spreader extrusion. This will reduce chafe on the mainsail and prevent flailing

sails/halyards becoming damaged.

Self-amalgamating tape is best, but pvc electrical tape is an adequate alternative.

3.4 Stepping the Mast

Before stepping the mast, familiarise yourself with how the “foot” (bottom end)

of the mast will fit into the “step” (fitted to the boat).

The mast foot has two rectangular blocks on the bottom, separated by a

groove. Both of these blocks will fit between the bolt at the front of the mast

step, and the bolt at the back.

Picture 3.4 The Mast Foot Correctly Located

WARNING

Before stepping the mast, check that you

are not in the vicinity of overhead power

cables.

WARNING

Do not tow your boat behind a car with

the mast up

WARNING

The 2000 must not be sailed with tension on the forestay. Rig tension must be taken on

the jib before the hoisting the main sail as the forestay is only designed to support the

mast when the boat is in the dinghy park.
