yeah.. in my case I didn't have a manual, in fact I didn't even have a mast yet, it was still an undrilled extrusion with no more than the mast step. I rigged it with ropes, with the real shrouds and stay just taped somehow. The idea was to verify if my measurements and CAD drawing were right. (I'm a specialist in drilling holes in the wrong spot...). But you are right, I thought I knew everything and didn't even search for a manual to download. (I did shortly after that, anyway...). The only one that was there to help me and discuss the procedure was the gardener (and he sure told me it was a bad idea!...).
