cleat on the deck. Tie a stopping knot in the end of the line.
22. Fasten one end of the mast retainer line (#9) to the starboard block plate loop
using a bowline. Feed the loose end up, above the vang block, around the mast
clockwise, back down above the vang block, and fasten the other end with a
bowline to the port block plate loop. The mast retainer line should cross in the
space between the vang and the mast.
20. Feed the loose end of the line (#14) through the block near the tack, which
is tied to the other end of the line you are holding. The line should be fed
towards the aft.
