The Ingleeld Clips stop the halyard opping around when the mainsail is
hoisted. To lower the mainsail, release the Kicker, outhaul and downhaul and
unclip the two clips, pull the halyard out of the cleat at the top of the mast, and
pull the mainsail down.

3.8 - Hoisting the Mainsail
• Coil up the halyard and stow it in the halyard bag.
• Push the gooseneck onto the gooseneck mast collar.
• Hook the clew of the sail onto the hook at the end
of the boom. You may like to use the black webbing
strop on the clew as a handle to pull the sail into
position, making it easier to hook the mainsail clew
hook onto the sail.
• Take the downhaul rope and tie a large gure-of-eight knot in one end.
