3. Attach the head of the jib to the jib
halyard furling swivel and tape up prior
to hoisting.
4. Hoist jib by pulling
the white halyard
out of aft face of
the mast then hook
the jib halyard
purchase system
onto jib Halyard
wire. (Ensure hook
is facing aft.)
5. Tension the jib halyard purchase
system until the jib luff wire is taught.
Cleat and tidy the rope end in the
pocket on the underside of the
gennaker sock. (If a loose gauge is
used to measure the rig tension do
NOT exceed 15 units or 70Kg’s -
measured on the shroud 0.75 metres
above the vernier adjuster)
6. Attach the centre of the jib sheet to
the jib clew.
7. Thread the free ends of the jib sheet
through the swivel jib fairlead cleats on
the outer ends of the front beam.
Tip – Best seaman like practise would be to tie
the sheet ends together to prevent flailing and
inhibit sheets falling overboard.
8. Remove the forestay from the jib tack b
and tie to the P clip at the bottom of the
mast on the starboard side.
