♦
Align the rolled up jib with the luff (that is where the zipper is) to the fore stay by standing
between the bridle and the front beam.
♦
Attach the jib halyard to the top webbing loop of the jib and run both the fore stay and the
halyard in the zip pocket.
♦
Pulling the halyard raises the jib. Some care must be applied when halyard loop enters the
pocket from the top.
♦
When the jib is fully raised, fit the tack of the jib into the bracket at the bottom of the forestay
adjuster.
♦
Attach the S-hook with the
purchase of the jib downhaul to
halyard eye. The jib downhaul
line runs back through its
pulleys on the bridle and chain
plate to the cleat on front beam.
The correct downhaul tension
may be applied once the main
sheet has been properly set.
The remaining thin jib halyard
might be folded into the zip
pocket of the jib luff.
♦
Connect the jib sheet from the
self tacker car to the clew of the
jib. Selecting the appropriate
hole on the clew plate will
change the sheeting angle of
the jib.
