Install the Main Boom
Bend Tang Fitting at first hole up at an approximately 45° angle.
Unscrew Boom Vang to remove Vang Wire from Gooseneck. Push the hook in the end of the Boom
Vang Wire up into the 1/16” dia. hole in bottom of Boom. Position Tang Fitting on top of the Gooseneck
Tab. Slide Boom onto Gooseneck Tab and Tang Fitting and secure with bolt and nut.
NOTE: TIGHTEN NUT ONLY UNTIL SNUG. DO NOT COMPRESS THE BOOM TUBE WALL.
Cut off excess bolt length and add a drop or two of CA Glue to the nut to prevent the nut from coming off.
Re-attach Boom Vang Wire.
Drill two 1/16” dia. holes in the Jib Club. One on the top, one on the bottom. Make and Install a Jib Club Eye as you did
the Main Sheet Eye. Drill a small pilot hole in the end of the Jib Club Dowel. Install 1/2” Pan Head Screw, leaving 1/4”
of threads showing. Install if forward end of Jib Club using Thick CA Glue.
Jib Outhaul: Cut a 10” - 12” length of Small String. Tie one end to end of Jib Club (through 1/16” dia. hole in top of
Jib Club). Thread a Small Metal Bowsie through two holes only.
Jib Tack: Slide a Rubber Grommet onto the Jib Club 3“ - 3 1/2” from the forward end. Tightly tie short length of line around
the Grommet. The Grommet should not slip down the length of the Jib Club, but you should be able to move it to tune your
ODOM rigging. Attach a Tackle Hook (same hook as used for the Backstay Hook) to other end of the line so the total length,
including the Hook, is about 1”.
