shackle. Use
one
of
the
3/16"
x
3'7"
lines. Tie
one
block to each
end
.
Jib
sheet

preventor
Rigged boat ready to sail
Using the extra 7' piece of shock cord supplied,
attach the center to the mast
and
tie
each
end
to
dolphin striker bar
on
opposite sides of mast. Be
sure
the jib sheet
is
lead
outside
shock cord. This
will
keep
the
jib
sheet from catching
under
mast base.
Righting
line
It
is
recommended
that
you
always
carry a righting
line
on
your boat. A grommet
and
pouch are
on
the
trampoline to facilitate this. You
will
need
a line at least
14'
long
and
3/8"
or
7/16"
diameter. Tie a figure eight
knot
about
9"
from
one
end. Insert
the
tail down
through the grommet
in
tramp
by
the mast
and
tie
another
figure eight knot
on
this end. You might also
find
it
useful to tie knots
on
line every
few
feet
so
your
wet hands
do
not slip
when
righting
your
boat. Coil
the
line
and
store
it
in
a
pouch
until
needed.
Tightening
the
rig
tension
After
the
boat
is
completely rigged with sails up
and
mainsheet connected,
it
is
time to tighten
the
rig.
You
should
not
attempt
to
do
this
by
yourself
or
if
it
is
windy
until you have
done
it
several times.
