Hoisting the Jib
To complete this section, you will require:
• The jib
• The jib sheets
• The top furling unit and shackle
1. Ensure that the furling unit is fully charged. Unroll the jib and connect
the tack of the sail to the shackle attached to the lower furling unit on
the tack bar (see picture 3.17).
2. The top furling unit is attached to the wire end of the jib halyard, using a
shackle (see picture 3.18).
3. Attach the head of the jib to the top furling unit (see picture 3.19) and
attach the wire spacer to the forestay.
