1999 Ezzy Power
Wave
Rigging & Fine Tuning
Guide
These tuning tips will make your sail work the way
I designed it to. Use them to find your own perfect
settings. Be sure to rig and de-rig in the same
order as outlined in this guide; you not only get on
the water faster, but you will also extend the life of
your sail.
See you on the water,

Rigging:
Slide the mast through the luff sleeve.
Note: do not slide the mast through the cam, it
should go above the cam.
Attach the mast extension and cleat off the downhaul without tensioning.
Quick Tip
-
It is easier to attach your boom onto the mast with no downhaul tension.
Attach the boom and outhaul the sail to the boom length
(printed on the sail). At this
early stage of rigging, the sail should be outhauled flat in the boom area.
Quick Tip
- The boom length is the distance from the clew to the front of the mast at the
center of the boom cutout.
Attach the cam to the mast
by pushing down on the batten with the palm of your hand,
approximately 12" (30cm) from the luff sleeve, and snap the cam onto the mast with your
other hand,
Quick Tip -
If the cam is difficult to put on the mast, check that the batten tension webbing
is loosened until the Velcro touches the buckle. This will allow the cam to slide further from
the mast and will make it easier to get the cam onto the mast. Also, make sure thesail is
outhauled flat before attempting to snap the cam onto the mast.
Downhaul the sail until the leech goes loose between battens #1 and #2.
Use the
diagonal seam and the sail logo as a reference. For light wind, the looseness should extend to
the diagonal seam. For strong wind, the looseness should extend to the back edge of the
