2). RE MATO:LUFFING WIRES:

----------------------------

RIGGED MASTO IN CRANE HAUSE USING MASTO 30mm SEALS FOR THE 32mm

LUFFING WIRE THIS GIVES GOOD COMPRESSION, USING A 2mm SEAL LESS IS

ALSO RECOMMENDED IN BROCHURE FOR CERTAIN WIRES. THE OPERATION WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. IT TAKES ONLY ONE HOUR TO COMPLETE ONE LUFFING WIRE THIS INCLUDES PREPERATION . JIB IS RAISED TO VRTICAL AND THEN LOWERED AS WIRE GOES THRU MASTO. THERE WERE THREE TURNS LEFT ON DRUM UNDER COVER. THERE IS A FEW METRES BETWEEN CRANE HOUSE WILL RVT ON THIS,EXPECT TAKE NO MORE THAN 30 MINUTES PREP.

FYI:WHEN WE DID MOORING WIRES WE ALSO USED 30mm SEALS.

HOISTING WIRES:

----------------

AS THE METHOD OF USING MAST IN CRANE HOUSE ON LUFFING WIRE WAS

SO SUCCESSFUL HAVE DECIDED TO DO THE RUNNERS WITH SAME METHOD.

THIS WILL BE JIB IN VERTICAL WITH BLOCK UP TO TOP JIB LIMIT.

WE ALSO EXPECT TO HAVE A FEW TURNS LEFT ON DRUM.

CUD YOU PLS SUPPLY ANTWERP ONE BOX OF MASTO SEALS SIZE 28mm 1.1/8”

PLS MAKE THISE ITEM 22 ON R/DK/O5/97. SHUD BE FOUR SEALS IN ON

BOX. THESE WILL BE USED ON 30mm RUNNERS WIRRE GREASED

CONVENTIONALLY AFTER BING BONG.

FOR THE ABOVE METHOD DOING AT SEA MUST HAVE GOOD WX FOR

RAISING JIB. HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS OF SET UP WILL SEND FROM ANTWERP IN

MAIL.
