10. The downhaul is already attached to the mast. Pass the end of the
downhaul through the hole in the gooseneck (this should be already
done) up to the eyelet in the tack of the main sail and then pass it
through the cleat on the side of the mast (see picture 3.30).

3.10 Rigging the Gennaker
To complete this section, you will need:
• 1 x RS Vision gennaker
• 1 x gennaker sheet
1. Unpack the gennaker.
2. Tie the tack of the gennaker to the tack line that emerges from the end
of the bowsprit (see picture 3.31). The knot that is already in the tack
line needs to be left in place as it determines how far the bowsprit
comes out.
3. Tie the end of the gennaker halyard to the head of the gennaker (see
picture 3.32).
4. Take the gennaker downhaul line (the other end of the halyard), which
is rigged up the chute and with the gennaker on the starboard (right)
