HINT
Always remember to tie a piece of rope to the bowsprit outhaul block when fully
de-rigging your RS Venture – it saves crawling up under the foredeck!
a)
Unpack the gennaker.
b)
Tie the tack of the gennaker to the tack line that emerges from the end of the bowsprit.
The knot that is already in the tack line needs to be left in place as it determines how far
the bowsprit comes out.
c)
Tie the end of the gennaker halyard to the head of the gennaker.
d)
Take the gennaker downhaul line (the other end of the halyard), which you previously
led up the chute sock, and, with the gennaker correctly orientated on the starboard
(right) side of the boat (luff forward and leech aft) pass the end through the eye on
the sail from the bottom of the sail towards the top of sail.
e)
Continue to run the downhaul line up the sail and tie it off on the upper patch (onto the
cross of webbing)
Note: On sails made before August 2016, the gennaker downhaul
line must pass through two patches on the sail before tying off on
the third patch.
