Instructions on how to use the Frape >

Pontoon Out
Pulling in the dinghy is achieved by undoing the frape on the handrail at the top of the ladder pulling the dinghy towards the ladder through the block on the post.
Returning the dinghy to its correct place, pull the frape again through the pulley on the post, but in the opposite direction pulling the frape away from the club which will pull the dinghy clear of the ladder and secure to the handrail. The excess frape should be thrown in the water. 

It is really important that the dinghy is pulled out as far as possible and secured to prevent damage.
Pontoon Installed
Pulling in the dinghy is achieved by undoing the frape on the cleat at the end of the pontoon, pulling the dinghy towards the pontoon through the block on the cleat.
Returning the dinghy to its correct place, pull the frape again through the pulley at the cleat at the end of the pontoon, but in the opposite direction pulling the frape away from the club which will pull the dinghy clear of the pontoon. The excess frape should be thrown in the water and not wrapped around the cleat. Ideally there should also be a couple metres of slack to the club side of the cleat.
It is really important that the dinghy is pulled out after use to prevent damage and that the frape is never cleated anywhere other than on the cleat at the end of the pontoon, not at the terrace end and never leave the dinghy tied to the pontoon.

Please let any family or friends, who use the frape and dinghy know how it works.
