Mainsheet System
The mainsheet system is already
mounted when delivered with your
boat. We indicate hereunder the
way to thread it, in case that you
need to change the line. Shackle
the boom block to the boom block
hanger. Shackle the ratchet block to
the traveller car (the jam cleat
facing inboard).
Take the mainsheet rope. Tie a
eight figure knot at the end of the
mainsheet and feed it through the
upper strap of the ratchet block and
then, up into the first sheave of the
boom block from front to rear down
into the first sheave of the ratchet
block from front to rear up into the
second sheave of the boom block
from rear to front down into the
second sheave of the ratchet block
from front to rear up into the third
sheave of the boom block from rear
to front down into the third sheave
of the ratchet block from rear to
front
Feed it then into the lower strap of
the cam cleat of the ratchet block.
Run the free end of the mainsheet
through the cam cleat of the aft
crossbar, through the traveller car
from inside to outside, and the dead
eye behind the cam cleat. Tie a
figure eight knot to secure the line.
Sheet in and out to see if all is well
mounted.
