1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new RS Feva and thank you for choosing
an RS product. We are condent that you will have many hours of great sailing and
racing in this truly excellent design.
The RS Feva 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
RS Feva, in a safe manner. It contains details of the craft, the equipment supplied
or tted, 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 RS Feva.
This manual will not instruct you in boating safety or seamanship. If this is your rst
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 RS Feva 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
• PVC Electrician’s Tape
You may require other tools later, should you wish to make any setting or tuning
adjustments to the boat or the rig. You will also need to tie some particular knots,
such as a bowline and a gure of eight. If you are unfamiliar with the knot, please
see Appendix 8.5 Three Essential Knots.
DO NOT use a knife or other sharp object to cut through packaging
containing parts – you may damage the contents!
Whilst your RS Feva 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 ttings and knots. It is also
important to check such items regularly prior to sailing.
Having unpacked your RS Feva, 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.

• Uncoil the main halyard
• Thread one end of the main halyard through
the bullseye at the top of the mast.
• Run both ends of the main halyard to the bottom
of the mast and tie in place (this prevents them
from disappearing back up the mast!).
If you have the Jib and/or Gennaker Pack, please refer to Section 3.9 Rigging
the Jib, and Section 3.10 Rigging the Gennaker before stepping the mast in
the boat.
To complete this section, you will need:
• The mast top section
• The mast lower section
• The main halyard
3.3 - Rigging the Mast
a)
b)
c)
• Place the mast top section and mast lower section on the ground, in line with
each other.
• Slide the inner sleeve of the mast top section into the end of the mast lower section.
• Push the two mast sections together. The angle of the join should ensure that the
mast track on the two sections aligns.
Please note, top and bottom mast sections are matched, they are not interchangeable
so if you have more than one boat you should consider marking the sections to identify
which go together.

a)
3.3 - Rigging the Mast
3.4 - Stepping the Mast
REMEMBER
If you are rigging the Jib and Gennaker Packs, you need to read Sections 3.9 and
3.10 before stepping the mast
Now the mast is ready to be put up in the boat, or ‘stepped’.
BEFORE PICKING UP THE MAST, CHECK THAT YOU ARE NOT IN
THE VICINITY OF OVERHEAD POWER CABLES
The mast-gate pin is already tted to your Feva. The
pin has a locking nut on the bottom to prevent it from
falling out.
To close the mechanism:
1) Push the Pin through the gate from above.
2) Screw down the knurled nut until it is tight.
The Mast Gate Pin
• Remove the mast gate pin from the
hole and open the mast gate.
b)
c)
d)
• Lay the mast along the boat with the mast foot in the mast well.
• Stand the mast up. The mast foot should slide down the mast well and sit
comfortably in the mast cup. The lip on the lower mast collar should be under the
foredeck, to enable you to close the mast gate.
• Close the mast gate, ensuring that you have not trapped any ropes in it.
• Push the mast-gate pin back into the hole,
add the knurled nut and tighten.
