2. Pass the gennaker pole through the
retaining ring on the port side of the
striker bar and place the pin into the
mast foot fi tting as shown.

3. Unscrew the plastic button fi tting on
the end of the gennaker pole and slide the
jubilee clip and gennaker chute on to the
pole. Replace the plastic button fi tting as
shown.

4. Find the point where the gennaker chute
mouth sits with the aft edge of the mesh
bag fi nishing approximately 100 mm in
front of the main beam and tighten jubilee
clip with the screw hidden under the pole.

6. Lace the aft end of the gennaker chute
bag through the “P” clip riveted on the
front face of the main beam and around the
mast ball neck as shown.
7. read the gennaker tack line through
the cam cleat positioned on the port side of
the mast ball and tie a double stopper knot
at the end of the line. (

8. Tie the forward pole brace lines from
the end of the gennaker pole to the forestay
chain plates at the front of
both hulls. ese lines should be tight
inducing approximately 50-75 mm of
negative prebend in the gennaker pole.

9. Tie the middle pole brace lines from the
pole just aft of the retaining ring to the
forestay chain plates at the front of both
hulls. ese lines should be tight inducing
approximately 50-75 mm of negative
prebend in the gennaker pole. (

10. Using a bowline, tie the corner of the
gennaker marked “tack” to the tack line
exiting from the front of the gennaker pole.
Ensure there is a double stopper knot tied in
the tack line approximately 50 mm prior to
your bowline to ensure the gennaker fl ies
cleanly without the sail fouling the end of
the pole.

11. Tie the up haul end of the gennaker
halyard to the head of the gennaker using
a bowline.
(fi gure 44)
12. As depicted by the diagram: read the
downhaul end of the gennaker halyard
through the uphaul cam cleat (positioned on
the front beam on the port side of the tack line
cleat), round the gennaker downhaul turning
block (tied on a piece of elastic to the port toe
strap aft mounting), through the hole in the
aft end gennaker chute sock, fi nally exiting
through the gennaker chute mouth.
13. Pass the downhaul through the lower
downhaul patch ring traveling in a vertical
direction toward the upper downhaul patch.
