7. Jib

1. Remove the clevis pin just aft of the headstay, 
(figure 29) line up the jib tack between the holes 
and reinsert the clevin pin. (figure 30)

2. Shackle the jib halyard to the head of the sail. 

3. Find the mid-point of the jib sheet and feed 
it, as a loop, through the clew of the sail.  
(figure 31) 

4. Pass both ends through the loop keeping the 
end length fairly even. (figure 32) 

5. Bring each end back through a jib fairlead, 
inside the shrouds towards the cleats and finish 
with a stopper knot. (figure 33)

6. Make sure the jib sheets will run free and 
pull up the halyard. (figure 34)

7. When the sail is most of the way up, you will 
discover the halyard is attached to the becket on 
a block (figure 35); pass the tail of the halyard 
down through the cheek block near the heel of 
the mast, up through the block and down to the 
cleat. (figure 36)

8. Tension the jib halyard and the cleat end, 
then hang the halyard coil between the halyard 
and the mast, above the cleat. (figure 37)
