Rigging stage 6
7.
Pull up the crossboom tensioning cord till the wing is semi-tensioned and secure it to the cleat on the
rigging tool. Stop if resistance is felt and ease the washout rods upwards by hand through the inspection
zip panels. This stage will bring both washout rods into their final positions.
Rigging stage 7
8.
Fit all the top surface ribs (red = port, green = starboard ) starting with the out-board main ribs and
working in-board towards the root. Do not force the ribs if they seem hard to push fully home. To fit the
root 2 ribs it will be necessary to lift the rear of the keel to avoid bending them.
Damage may result to the sail and to the ribs if you
force the ribs into the sail. Investigate immediately if
undue resistance is felt, and if undue resistance
occurs when the ribs are nearly home, leave them at
this stage until after the wing has been tensioned at
a later stage.
