a. Starting with the cam below the boom
cutout. Hold the mast with the right hand and
push on the cam from the outside
b. Repeat with the cam above the boom. Hold
the mast with the left hand and push the cam
from the outside with the right hand
c. Next fit the top cam, pushing inside the
zipper if necessary
d. Finally the bottom cam. A good technique
is to push inside the zipper and use the knee
to push the cam in position
If cams are too hard to fit, release the
downhaul slightly.
