the mast and "sweat it" to get the sail right to the top of the mast. (Hold
Halyard just above cleat and pull away from mast at 90 degrees. Recleat.
Repeat until sail is hoisted fully.)
(
TIP:
Check the wear on the Halyard regularly, particularly where it goes over the
masthead sheave. You can prevent excessive wear by moving the knot at the head
every so often by adding additional overhand knots further and further down the
Halyard. When you have done this a few times you will have to trim the excess knotted
line to save windage).
The Cunningham/downhaul which is the other continuous line is taken through the top
eye then down through the small hole in the goose neck and up to the lower eye and
tied off.
Then insert the black slug in the lower part of the mast.
