2.3.5. Raising the mainsail
Step 1.
Take the mainsail halyard and fix the shackle to the top of the mainsail. Ma-
ke sure the knot in the mainsail halyard ring is facing the mast.
Step 2.
Put the sail in the sail track in the mast and pull on the halyard at the same
time. This is best to do with two people: one at the mast who is putting in
the sail and one pulling on the halyard.
Step 3.
When you reach the top of the mast the ring slides over the mainsail lock
and you should be able to hear a click. Make sure the mast is facing the sa-
me way as your sail. Otherwise turn you mast by hand. Pull on the luff of
the sail to make sure the sail is properly locked. You should not be able to
pull the sail down. It only stretches. Put the halyard in the trampoline bag.
