6. Sails
1
. Ensure furling drum line is fully wound
completely onto furling drum before you attach
the jib. (fi gure 23)
2
. Unroll the jib and attach jib tack to furling
drum. Tape up pins on jib tack. (fi gure 24)
3
. Attach the head of the jib to the jib halyard
furling swivel and tape up prior to hoisting.
(fi gure 25)
4
. Hoist jib by pulling the white halyard out of
aft face of the mast then hook the jib halyard
purchase system onto jib halyard wire.
(Ensure hook is facing aft). (fi gure 26)
5
. Tension the jib halyard purchase system
until the jib luff wire is taught. Cleat and tidy
the rope end in the pocket on the underside of
the gennaker sock. (If a loose gauge is used to
measure the rig tension do NOT exceed 15 units
or 70 kgs - measured on the shroud 0.75 meters
above the vernier adjuster). (fi gure 27 )
6
.Attach the center of the jib sheet to the jib
clew. (fi gure 28)
7
. Th
read the free ends of the jib sheet through
the swivel jib fairlead cleats on the outer ends
of the front beam. (fi gure 29)
Tip:
tie the sheet ends together to prevent fl ailing and
prevent sheets from falling overboard.
(fi gure 30)
8
. Remove the forestay from the jib tack band
tie to the P clip at the bottom of the mast on
the starboard side. (fi gure 31)
9
. Furl the jib by pulling the furling line. Th
e
furling line cleat is positioned on the front
beam on the port/left hand side. (fi gure 32)
6
. Feed the mainsheet through the blocks and
to the mainsheet jammer as shown.
(fi gure 21)
Tip:
double check that the mainsheet passes through the
switchable ratchet in the correct direction.
(fi gure 22)
Tip:
tie the loose end of the mainsheet to one of the rear
toe straps to prevent the sheet from fl ogging and falling

7. Lower shroud tensioning
After tensioning the jib halyard, readjust the
lower shrouds so that they are just tight.
It is
essential that the mast is straight
before the
mainsail is hoisted (fore and aft and side to
side to side). Lower shroud tension should be
adjusted accordingly. (fi gure 33)
8. Gennaker
1
. Temporarily tie the gennaker halyard to one
of the lower shrouds. (Blue halyard exiting
from ¾ height up mast, just above the jib
halyard sheave box).
2
.Ensure the end of the gennaker halyard
taken from the base of the mast is free of knots
and tangles. (fi gure 34)
3
.Take the gennaker halyard from the base of
the mast and pass forward, under the genna-
ker sock and round the gennaker pole outhaul
block. (Th
e gennaker pole outhaul block is
attached to the blue rope led from the pole as
shown in the picture). (fi gure 35)
4
. Th
read the halyard aft and through the
gennaker halyard cleat on the starboard /right
hand side of the front beam. (fi gure 36)
5
. Pass the halyard to the port side of the boat
and thread it through the block at the aft end
of the gennaker sock. (fi gure 37)
6
. Tie the end of the halyard to something such
as a batten or tiller extension and carefully
pass the end of the halyard up the sock until
you can grasp it from the front end of the
gennaker sock opening. (fi gure 38)
7
. Tie this end of the halyard temporally
around the jib tack bar and remove the batten/
extension from the sock.
8
. Unfold the gennaker
a.
Identify the tack (written on the sail).
b.
Secure the gennaker pole tack line
to the sail using a bowline. (Th
e tack
line comes out of the front of the
gennaker pole).
c.
Th
e plastic bobble should be between the
sail and the pole end. (fi gure 39)
9
. Untie the gennaker halyard from the lower
shroud and secure it to the head of the
gennaker using a bowline. (fi gure 40)
