To lower the genoa
, pull the release wire that is in the luff of the genoa. This will
release the lock on top and allow the genoa to be pulled back down.
Genoa Battens: Once the genoa is hoisted, put in the Elvstrom vertical battens. Put
the battens into their corresponding pockets from the bottom, long one forward, short
one aft. Close them in by fastening the Velcro seal to the sail.
***DANGER***
When unpacking the rolled up battens for the first time, BE CAREFUL! They have a
tendency to explode out of their coiled position with great force.
