e) Make sure the threaded fork toggle end for the upper side stays is parallel with the FE19R

fork toggle end.
f) Ask your helper to pull the gennaker’s halyard while you lift the mast.
g) Walk towards the stern of the boat, lift the mast to your shoulder and walk forward until the
mast is fully up.
h) Cleat the gennaker’s halyard.
i) Attach the forestay to the FE19R forestay chainplate or drum.
j) The lower side stays can now be assembled with the threaded fork toggle end onto the chain
plate. Add electrical tape or rigging tape around the cutter pin.
k) The gennaker’s halyard and the tack line can now be released.
l) Assemble the boom to the gooseneck of the mast.
m) The mainsail halyard can be used to keep the boom horizontal by tying it to the end of the
boom. Watch your head until the mainsheet is attached to the boom.
IV. Control lines
n) Attach the mainsheet to the boom and traveller car.
