When the sail reaches the top of mast, you must
secure the second metal stop
on
the
halyard wire into
the halyard lock on mast. Do this
by
leading wire
between teeth
on
lock
and
pulling down
on
sail to put
tension on
the
metal stop.
The
other
stop, further down
on the halyard wire,
is
for a reefed main only.
Cleat main halyard off
and
stow extra line.
Boom
Remove clevis pin from gooseneck assembly at-
tached to forward end of boom.
Connect
boom to
the
bracket
on
the mast using this clevis pin
and
cotter ring.
Outhaul
Remove clevis pin from outhaul car
on
aft
end
of
boom
and
lift
boom to aft
end
of mainsail. Clew ring of
sail goes
in
between sides of outhaul car. Reinsert
clevis pin through sail
and
outhaul car. Install cotter
ring
in
end
of clevis pin.
Mast rotator
(previously installed
onto
mast)
Tie rotator line
(3/16"
x 5') to fairlead built into
the
aluminum clam cleat, down through the eye
in
the
rotator wishbone
and
back through

cleat. This
provides a 2: 1 purchase for adjusting mast rotation.
45
to
75
degrees rotation
is
considered normal for most
sailing.

x 7')
to

3) Around pulley on starboard side of mast
4) Back through tack ring
and
down to cleat
