Gennaker
The spinnaker halyard can be reeved internally, exiting the mast on the port side, or
externally, passing through the port spreader bracket. The halyard is led through the
cowling deck and then forward through a turning block mounted on the upper section of
the mast post.
Use the mouse line to reeve the halyard end through the gennaker pole launcher block
and back aft (above the sock and pole but below the jib sheets) between the cowling
and the cleat console platter and through the spinnaker halyard deadeye and cleat.
The halyard is then passed through the gennaker halyard tension block (attached to a
length of bungee cord), forward to the turning block mounted on the port cockpit
bulkhead or alternatively on the aft port face of the cowling.
