Lead jib downhaul line
around shackle pin
and cleat downhaul
line snugly into cleat
on jib tack.
Prindle 16 only:
Attach two small pul-
lies (attached to jib
sheet line earlier) to
foot of jib by leading
each one around the
front of the mast, one
from each side.
Put a 1/4”
shackle through
grommet in
lower aft corner
of jib (clew)
and reattach
pullies with
shackle pin.
Make sure that
these lines are
not twisted.
Pull up slack
from line lead-
ing between the
jib sheet blocks
and trampoline.
Prindle 18 only:
Tie jib clew blocks to sail clew rather than
with shackle. Use one of the 3/16” x 3’ 7”
lines. Tie one block to each end.
Jib Sheet and
Jam
Preventer
Using the extra
7’ piece of
shock cord sup-
plied attach the
center to the
mast and tie
each end to dolphin striker bar on opposite
sides of mast. Be sure the jib sheet is lead
outside shock cord. This will keep the jib
sheet from catching under mast base.
Rigged boat ready to sail.
Righting Line
It is recommended
that you always
carry a righting
line on your boat.
A grommet and
pouch are on the
trampoline to facil-
itate this. You will
need a line at least
14’ long and 3/8”
or 7/16” in diame-
ter. Tie a figure
eight knot about
9” from one end.
Insert the tail
down through the
grommet in tramp by the mast and tie
another figure eight knot on this end. You
might also find it useful to tie knots on the
line every few
feet so your wet
hands do not
slip when right-
ing the boat.
Coil the line and
store it in a
pouch until
needed.
