the starboard side of the inboard 
boom end yoke arm 

 
(g)

 

Downward and through the clam 
cleat on the starboard side of the 
mast immediately below the 
gooseneck collar. 

 
(h)

 

Downward and through the pulley 
block immediately below the 
aforementioned clam cleat before 
tieing a 100mm rope handle in the 
end of the control line. 

 
 

Note:

 This ensures the mast is NOT able to 

“free 

rotate

” thus keeping the bent topmast in 

parallel with the boom to maintain the best 
sail flying shape possible.
