Ezzy Sails Rigging and Tuning for the 94 Ezzy Wave
6)
Release the outhaul completely, and then
retension. For a light wind setting, pull the outhaul
until the batten above the boom is not touching the
mast when it rotates (
see diagram 3a
). For strong
winds, outhaul until the batten above the boom is
resting directly behind the mast (
diagram 3b
).
7)
Tension the tack-strap until the edge of the sail
beside the tack grommet touches the side of the
mast.
Quick Tip
: Unlike most cambered sails, wave sails
require postive outhaul tension and should never
be used with negative or zero outhaul.
De-Rigging
To increase the life of your sail, it is recommended that you de-rig in the following order:
1) Release batten tension
2) Undo tack-strap.
3) Release downhaul.
4) Release outhaul and remove boom.
5) Slide mast out of luff sleeve without creasing sail.
6) Remove the bottom batten and roll the sail from the top as tightly as possible to prevent creasing.
