Take jib Halyard tail and stow in tidy bag on top of Gennaker sock.
17
The lowers can now be tied off tightly (you will only need to do this the first
time you raise the mast)
Now you can furl the jib. Make sure the sheets are completely free and pull gently on
the Furler line. It is important to make the furl as loose as possible and to ensure there
are no creases in the material when you do this - otherwise you can damage the sail.
(
TIP:
Do not leave the jib furled for too long - especially in bright sunlight).
(
TIP:
It is not advisable to leave jib up overnight).
REMEMBER TO TAKE THE JIB TENSION OFF WHEN NOT BEING SAILED
- the
shrouds will be able to be moved by 6’’ and seem very slack.
Rigging the Gennaker kit
The Gennaker Halyard is entirely external. One end ties straight on to the head of the
sail while the tail passes through the spreader eye and down the side of the mast.
18
Thread the tail down through the block on the bottom front of the beam.
19
Then forward, around the free block located to the side of the Gennaker chute
(attached to the line that pulls the pole out).
