Note that once the line is tied, the jib sheet can easily be removed from the pole by sliding
the blocks slightly forward and providing slack to the lines around the pole. The complete
jib assembly can then be easily slid the length of the pole when disassembling the boat,
eliminating the need to tie off the blocks each time. To reinstall the next time the boat is
assembled, form a quick loop in the line and slide it back over the pole.
12.0 – Boom and Outhaul
Attach the end of the boom gooseneck assembly to the mast bracket with the 1 1/4”
clevis pin
.
Feed the 4mm line from the rigging box labeled “boom” through the small hole in the
end of the boom and secure with a stopper knot. Feed the other end through the
micro block with a
¼
” shackle as shown and then back through the other side of the
boom and through the jam cleat located inside the boom. Tie a stopper knot. The
shackle will attach to the clew of the mainsail. Pulling on the line will act as an
outhaul on the main sail.
