At the rear end of the jib boom (boom yardarm) the forestay has already struck. It enables the
twist of the headsail to be set later. Run the free end of the forestay upward through the ring
on the mast, hang the shroud to the forestay and tie it tight. Pull the terminal tab on the fo-
restay slightly upward so that the leech of the headsail describes a slight curve.
Now you can attach the clip pusher of the forestay. The mast is still tense from the backstay
or slightly bent aft. Place the clamping slide between the two rings a little below the middle
and tie it tight, without giving any additional length in the cord.
Move the silicone pieces at the clew so that in the sail there are approximately 17mm belly.
Secure all knots with a drop of cyano or plastic adhesives. Cut off the excess cord pieces.
With a very small lighter flame close to the cord ends, you can prevent them from fraying. Do
not burn the (combustible) cord, neither put the flame near the sails!
