Attach the lazy-jack lines (furling lines) to
the cover sections, as shown in Fig. 14.
Belay the lines on their mast cleats.
Make sure that the topping lift is always
under greater tension than the lazy-jack
lines, otherwise these could be torn out of
the boom cover.
Mainsheet routing
Bending on the Mainsail
Fig. 14 Before bending on the mainsail, haul up one
side of the main-drop cover.
Make sure that the deck has been washed
before unpacking the mainsail.
- Guide the foot of the mainsail into the
boom groove, from fore to aft.
- Fasten the tack of the sail to the forward
boom fitting.
- Shackle the clew outhaul to the clew.
- Lift the slide stopper clear of the mast
track, feed the mainsail slides into the
mast track then close the slide stopper.
- Insert the sail battens into their pockets,
from luff to leech (see description on
Page 15).
- Shackle Main halyard to headboard.
Make sure that the halyard shackle pin
is properly engaged.
- Shackle the guide blocks for Reef 1 &
Reef 2 pendant lines to their leech
webbing strops.
Ensure that the batten ends are
protected by tape or a thin plastic cap.
Before bending on the mainsail, haul up
one side of the main-drop cover a little
way by its lazy-jacks, and let the other
side hang down. This makes it easier to
control the sailcloth.
