Rigging Instructions Cont.
22. Shackle the main halyard to the
head of the mainsail, making sure
that the halyard is clear up the mast.
23. Furl and fold up the mainsail
and tie around the boom.
24. Attach boom
y
ang to mast step.
(Fig. 19)
25. Attach one end of the main
Cunningham to the saddle on the
mast. Run the Cunningham up
through the eye in the sail and down
through the cheek block on lower
mast out through the jib fairlead eye
and aft to clam cleat on port side
cabin top. Make sure there is
enough slack to allow the main sail to
be pulled right up when required. At
this point the main sail is ready to
hoist. We recommend that sails
should be bent on i.e. rigged up,
before launching your boat.
(Fig. 20)
26. Topping Lift - The Farr 6000 is not
equipped with a main boom topping
lift as standard, but should you
require one, we suggest you use your
spinnaker halyard if you have one.
Otherwise, a line can be run through
the sheave boxes provided for the
spinnaker halyard. Note: All masts
are fitted with upper and lower
exit boxes for Spinnaker whether or
not a complete spinnaker kit is fitted.
28. Jib - attach the tack of jib to
forestay fitting with 4 mm long D
Shackle provided, and hank the sail
onto the forestay without twists.
(Fig. 21)
Attach the halyard to the head of the
j
ib and attach twin blocks to clew o
f
j
ib for sheets to run through. The jib
sheet system is a double purchase
system which eliminates the
necessity for winches. Each jib sheet
leads from the saddle on the forward
end of the track on the deck,
through the block on the clew of the
j
ib back through the lead on the
track, then back to the lead on the
forward end of the coaming.
(Fig. 22)
29. Halyards
Main - leads from the starboard
base of the mast and is cleated off
on the cleat provided on the mast.
This allows you to get good
purchase while tensioning up the
main sail.
Jib - leads from the port base of the
mast through the lead on the deck
then back through the cleat on the
port cabin top aft.
Spinnaker - lf a spinnaker is fitted,
we recommend the spinnaker
halyard be lead through the
starboard block at the base of the
mast (mast step) and the main
halyard be changed to the other
spare exit box immediately above.
Then lead the spinnaker halyard aft
through the lead on the starboard
deck through the cleat on starboard
cabin top aft.
