RIGGING YOUR mxNEXT

MAINSHEET

Attach the two upper blocks to the webbing on the boom using the shackle 
that comes with the system. Then attach the lower end to a bracket that 
is located just in front of the ratchet block and cleat. Finally lead the tail 
through the ratchet block and cleat and tie a figure-8 knot in the end.

SPINNAKER

The spinnaker retrieval sock will come installed on the boat when you receive 
it. You will need to install the spinnaker and attach the lines. There are three 
lines; the tack line, the halyard and the retrieval line. 

Attach the tack - The tack line is led forward and comes out of a small hole 
on the bow of the boat. Attach it to the tack of the spinnaker.

Attach the sheet - Tie the single continuous spinnaker sheet to the clew of 
the sail and then run it aft through the small block located on the side of the 
boat amidships. The sheet then is led across the boat to the small block on 
the opposite side and then around the front of the mast to the clew.
