Prindle 16:
Attach main hal-
yard shackle into
hole at head of
mainsail.
Place forward
edge of sail into
curf of mast.
With one hand,
feed the curf and
pull on rope tail
of halyard with
the other. Pull
from directly for-
ward of mast and
not off to either
side. This helps
to prevent hal-
yard from jump-
ing out of mast
head sheaves.
When the sail
reaches the top of
mast, you must
secure the second
metal stop on the
halyard wire into
the halyard lock
on the mast. DO
this by leading
wire between
teeth on lock and
pulling down on
sail to put tension
on the metal stop.
The other stop,
further down on
the halyard wire,
is for a reefed main only.
Cleat main halyard off and stow extra line.
Boom
Remove clevis pin from gooseneck assembly
attached to forward end of boom. Connect
boom to the bracket on the mast using this
clevis pin and cotter ring.
Remove clevis in from outhaul car on aft end
of boom and lift boom to aft end of mainsail.
Clew ring of sail goes in between sides of
outhaul car. Reinsert clevis pin through sail
and outhaul car. Install cotter ring in end of
clevis pin.
Mast Rotator
(previously installed onto mast)
Tie rotator line 3/16” x 5’) to fairlead built
into the aluminum clam cleat, down through
the eye in the rotator wishbone and back
through the cleat. This provides a 2:1 pur-
chase for adjusting mast rotation. 45 to 75
degrees rotation is considered normal for
most sailing.
