Using the straps and clips on the leech of the mainsail, secure each
batten into it’s respective pocket (as per photograph). Push the bat-
tens in reasonably hard - sufficient to remove any wrinkles
from the pocket.
NOTE : it is important to relieve the tension on the battens after each
day’s sailing. This will prolong the
life of the sail.
Unfold the mainsail and lay on a flat clean surface. Undo the set of bat-
tens and identify which batten goes in which batten pocket. Insert the bat-
tens into the pockets.
NOTE : the second batten pocket from the bottom takes the longest bat-
ten.

BEFORE RAISING THE MAINSAIL, MAKE SURE THAT THE BOAT IS POIN-
TING INTO THE WIND. IF THE WIND CHANGES DIRECTION,
MOVE THE BOAT.
Place the sail on the trampoline, the battens clips towards the back.
Undo the main halyard wire from the mast and shackle it to the head
board of the mainsail. Now, feed the bolt rope at the head of the sail
into the cut out in the sail track on
the mast.

Now, pull on the main halyard line
whilst feeding the sail into the
track cut out.
4
When the sail is all the way up, position the stopper on
the wire halyard so that it engages in the halyard lock.
5
Lead the halyard behind the shroud and trapeze wire and secure
at the halyard cleat on the side of the mast. Do not pull too hard
as you may disengage the halyard lock. Tuck the excess halyard
into the trampoline pocket.
