Fine Tuning Guide

 

RIGGING:

 

1) Slide the mast through the luff sleeve. 

Note: slide the mast 

above the cams (do not attach the cams to the mast yet). 

 

2)

 

Attach the mast extension and thread the line through the 

cleat. Do not tension the downhaul yet, just cleat the line off.

3) 

Attach the boom and outhaul to the boom length that is 

printed on the sail.

.

Quick Tip:

 The suggested boom length is measured from the center 

of the boom cutout.

4) Attach the cams to the mast by pushing down on the batten 
with the palm of your hand, approximately 12" (30cm) from 
the luff sleeve, and snap the cam onto the mast with your 
other hand.

Quick Tip:

 If the cam is difficult to put on to the mast, check that 

the batten tension webbing is loosened until the Velco touches the 
buckle. This will allow the cam to slide further from the mast and 
will make it easier to get the cam on to the mast. Also, make sure 
the sail is outhauled flat before attempting to snap cams on to the 
mast. 

 

 

Quick Tip: 

Opening the zipper will make it easier to snap the cam on to the mast. But, to avoid damaging
