Then put one of the red bobbles on the Halyard before you tie the end of the
Gennaker downhaul to the webbing eye on the top patch using a bowline. This

You should now be able to pull the Gennaker down into the chute, ensuring that
it does not snag around the pole-end or under the bow.
(
TIP:
When launching the Gennaker. Pull Gennaker Halyard from block NOT direct
from chute. This will prevent wear and tear at chute opening).
Raising the Mainsail
Battens
The sail is supplied with all 4 battens inserted but they may not be fully tensioned.
Ensure that the forward ends are properly bedded into the end-fittings. Use just
enough tension to remove all of the creases.
