When the sail reaches
the
top
of the mast, you must
lock the ring
on
the
halyard line to
the
hook at the
head
of the mast. To
do
this, pull halyard until
the
ring
is
above the hook. Rotate mast (push rotator towards
starboard hull) so
hook
is
inside ring
and
pull down
on
the tack of the sail gently until
the
ring locks
onto
the
hook.
Coil the extra main halyard line
and
store
in
one
of
the pockets
on
the
trapoline.

Attach main halyard shackle into hole
at
head
of mainsail. -
Place forward
edge
of sail into curf of mast. With
one
hand, feed
the
sail into curf
and
pull
on
rope tail of
halyard with
the
other. Pull from directly forward of
mast
and
not
off
to
either side. This helps to prevent
halyard from jumping
out
of mast
head
sheaves.
