e)
Hook the rig tension tackle to this wire loop, then pull the rig tension on, ensuring that it is
in the cleat properly. You should pull enough tension into the rig so that the shrouds feel
firm.
Pull the rope end of the halyard from the mast exit, just below deck level to hoist the
jib. When the jib halyard is pulled all the way up, a wire loop will emerge from the
mast.

f)
Stow the ends of the rig tension tackle and the rope halyard in the pouch on the side of
the spinnaker chute.
g)
Find the middle of the jib sheet, fold it back on itself, such that the two ends are together.
Grab the folded mid point and pass it through the cringle in the jib clew, and then pass the
two loose ends through that loop and pull tight. The result should look as below.
