3.6 Rigging the Boom
To complete this section, you will need:
• The boom
• The gnav bar
1. Connect the gnav bar to the slider at the front end of the boom (see
picture 3.13). Sliders often differ in appearance, but all work in the
same way.
2. Connect the front of the boom to the gooseneck on the mast.
3. Connect the upper end of the gnav bar to the bracket on the mast
above the gooseneck (see picture 3.14).
4. Feed the gnav control line down through the swivel block and through
the cleat below the boom. Tie a stopper knot in the end of the rope (see
picture 3.15).
