a)

Find the middle of the gennaker sheet and double it over to form a loop.

b)

Pass this loop through the eyelet at the clew of the gennaker.

c)

Pass the rest of the sheet through the loop and pull it tight. This is the same

arrangement as the jibsheet, so you will have done it before.

d)

With the gennaker on the starboard side, thread one end of the gennaker sheet

through the block by the starboard shroud adjustor plate, in the direction of the

arrow on the block.

FORWARD

NOTE

There are 2 or 3 types of gennaker ratchet block in common use, but they all have a

“correct” way to feed the sheet marked with an arrow.
