3.8 - Hoisting the
Mainsail
• Coil up the
halyard
and stow it in the
halyard
bag.
• Push the gooseneck onto the
gooseneck mast collar
.
• Hook the clew of the sail onto the hook at the end
of the
boom
. You may like to use the black webbing
strop on the clew as a handle to pull the sail into
position, making it easier to hook the
mainsail
clew
hook onto the sail.
• Take the
downhaul
rope and tie a large figure-of-eight knot in one end.
