boom and tie a bowline.
Mainsheet -­‐ is a 24:1 system with a 6:1/4:1 set-­‐up (see diagram). The system is designed to allow
easy adjustments of the mainsheet. The location of the traveler also facilitates single-­‐handed
sailing and adjustments. The fixed centerline cleat base rotates to port and starboard for a
proper lead. Be sure to put a "stopper knot" like a figure-­‐eight at the end of the mainsheet.
Jib Sheet -­‐ is continuous and attaches to the roller-­‐furler headsail by a simple knot, leads to the jib
block on the track, aft to the lower sheave of the double turning block on the rail and finally to
the primary winch.
Spinnaker Sheets -­‐ lead from the clew of the spinnaker aft outside the lifelines through the
spinnaker sheet blocks (shipped loose) turning forward to the upper sheave of the double
fairlead blocks along the rail and then to the primary cockpit winches or secondary cabin-­‐top
winches.
