3.1.6. Raising the spinnaker
Raising the spinnaker on the water takes some preparation work ashore before setting out. This
should be done in a sheltered area or only in light winds.
♦
Now set the boat with its stern into the wind and fold out the spinnaker from its bag.
♦
Attach the halyard coming from the mast top
to the head eyelet and attach the line
coming from the tip of the spinnaker pole to
the tack eyelet.
♦
Run the retrieval line coming from the chute
ring through the small ring of the lower
patch, then through the middle patch, all the
way up to the retrieval ball attached to the
top patch. Tie the retrieval line to the
retrieval ball.
♦
Now take the loop in the middle of the
spinnaker sheet and put it through the clew
eyelet of the spinnaker. Pass the spinnaker
sheets through the protruding loop and
secure the formed hitch firmly at the clew.
♦
Now hoist the spinnaker. Keep the
spinnaker sheets a bit taut to let the
spinnaker set properly. Take one of the
spinnaker sheets and pass it inside the
crew’s trapeze wire connected to the end of
the front beam. Run the end of the
spinnaker sheet through the Smart Ratchet
on the deck. Make sure that the sheet goes
through the block in the direction as
indicated by the arrow on the block. The
sheet then passes from the Smart Ratchet
to the turning block attached to the front
beam.
