2. Lead the mainsheet through the block in the middle of the boom .
3. Thread the mainsheet into the boom through the forward slot on the
underside, and back out of the boom through the aft slot on the underside.
4. Lead the mainsheet through the block at the aft end of the boom , and down
through the top block on the mainsheet bridle across the stern of the boat.
5. Finally, pass the end of the mainsheet through the lacing eye at the end of the
boom and secure with a stopper knot.
The boom will then fit onto the gooseneck . Simply line the pin on the gooseneck up
with the hole in the forward end of the boom and push the boom on. It may be a tight
fit at first but the boom must be pushed all the way flush with the welded washer on
the gooseneck .
2.5 Hoisting the Mainsail
To hoist the mainsail :
1. Unroll the mainsail and tie the clew to the boom using the clew strop rope tied
around the boom .
2. Feed the outhaul through the clew of the mainsail and tie it back onto the
bullseye at the end of the boom .
3. Tie the main halyard to the head of the mainsail , using a bowline .
4. Hoist the mainsail by pulling on the end of the main halyard that runs down
the front face of the mast .
5. When the mainsail is hoisted to the top of the mast , cleat the main halyard in
the cleat located on the front face of the mast at the top.
6. Clip the Inglefield Clip on the tail of the main halyard to the Inglefield Clip
attached to the piece of shockcord on the deck near the base of the mast .
This will hold the tail of the main halyard tight and stop it flapping around.
7. Finally coil up the tail of the main halyard and stow it in the small pocket sewn
onto the gennaker chute .
TOP TIP
Only hoist the mainsail when you are ready to go afloat, as this will prolong the life of your
sail and prevent any possible damage occurring while you are away from your boat.
