.3 Never pull and “push” on both at once.
4.4 Use the white “clamcleats” on the left (port) side of the console to cleat the reef-
ing line or the sail will unroll. (fig 20 on page18)
4.5 You can put one complete turn of sail around the mast without adjusting the out-
haul.
4.6 To reef further the outhaul needs to be released to allow the sail to travel for-
ward along the boom.
4.7 Conversely, when un-reefing, you need to pull on the outhaul.
4.8 Always re-cleat the outhaul after adjusting. Cleat the outhaul at the white clam-
cleat on the boom.
4.9 The idea is not to flatten the sail along
the boom as it should have enough slack to
form a gentle curve. (fig. 36 & fig. 37)

REEFING AND FURLING THE JIB.
5.1 Un-cleat the jib sheet and downhaul before attempting to reef.
5.2 Use the port reefing line to reef, the starboard to unreef.
5.3 Remember to cleat the reefing line after reefing (use the “clamcleat on the con-
sole port side) or the sail will unroll.
5.4 Adjust the downhaul to suit.
5.5 To furl the jib, remove the strut, unhook the downhaul, slide the claw to the base
of the mast then pull the port jib reefing line to completely roll up the sail.
5.6 When de-rigging, leave the sheet block shackled to the clew, untie the figure of
eight knot in the sheet end and un-reeve the sheet.
