Rigging & 
Fine Tuning Guide 

 

 

1)

 

Roll out the sail, insert the foot batten and tension it.

Quick Tip:

 It is easier to insert and tension the foot batten before inserting 

the mast.

Quick Tip

: You can leave your foot batten in after the first rigging.

2)

 

Slide the mast through the luff sleeve (

see diagram 1

). 

Note: When rigging with the cam, slide the mast above the 
cam (do not attach the cam yet.)

 

3) Attach the mast extension with no downhaul tension; just 
cleat the downhaul line

.

Quick Tip

: It is easier to attach your boom onto the mast when 

there is no downhaul tension. 

 

4)

 

Attach the boom and outhaul the sail to the boom length 

(printed on the sail). The sail should be outhauled flat in the 
boom area.

Quick Tip:

 

Attach your boom at, or below the center of the boom

on the boom while downhauling. (To use as full-batten, i.e.: without 
the cam, ignore step #5.)

5) 

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 (

see diagram 2

).

Quick Tip:

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