BQOM(S)
To install boom(s), secure the tack bracket to the gooseneck.
Then connect the lazy jacks as described and shown in the Lazy
Jack Detail diagram. Lead reef lines as shown on the Main
Sail Rigging diagram.
LAZY JACKS
Port and starboard side lazy jack wires are shackled to tangs
on either side of the mast. The lazy jack blocks are shackled to the
eye on the bottom end of the wire. After the mast(s) are stepped
and the boom(s) connected at the gooseneck (s), the lazy jack lines
are run. There is one line per mast which begins dead-ended at the
cleat on the boom underside, then runs up through the port lazy
jack block and down to a fairlead on the underside aft end of the
boom then up through the starboard side lazy block and finally
down to be cleated off at its point of origin. This single line
system allows for easy adjustments in boom height. Refer to
Commissioning Diagram.
SHEETS
The arrangement of the sheets is shown in rigging diagrams.
Notes On ALL Freedoms one MUST tie a knot in the main
and mizzen sheets in order to restrict the travel
boom to 90°. Allowing the boom to travel further
than 90° is not efficient, and will subject the boom
gooseneck bracket to excessive strain, which after
multiple incidences will cause a failure.
VANGS
Run vangs per diagram. Run all lines along deck to cockpit
per line identification. Refer to following block and running
rigging lists.
