Untie the retrieval end of the halyard from the mouse line and tie a bowline through the
eyelets in the gennaker retrieval patch, making sure this section of halyard runs clear
from the throat to retrieval patch. Tie both ends of the gennaker sheet to the clew of the
gennaker using bowlines.
Haul on the halyard leading from the console to hoist the gennaker and launch the pole,
then cleat off. To lower and retrieve the gennaker and retract the pole, release the cleat
then haul on the halyard from the forward turning block until the gennaker is stowed in
the sock and the pole has retracted.
