8.4 - Hoisting The Jib

To complete this section, you will require:

•

The jib

• The jib sheets

•

The top furling unit as attached to the jib halliard

Unroll the jib and connect the head of the sail to the top

furling unit using the shackle.

The furling line emerges from under the beam through the cleat

underneath the Port side.

Ensure that the furling unit is fully charged so that all the furling

line is wound round the unit (turn anticlockwise) and

very little left at the cleat.

Attach the end of the jib halyard with the plastic

stopper on it to both rope loops on the jib head

unit using an overhand knot.

Note: Boats build from April 2017 onwards will have a new style of jib shackle.

The RS Quest Upgrade Pack contains the new shackle and everything else

needed to bring older boats up to current spec.
