you will need to let the rig tension off, adjuster the lower shroud

4.5 Rigging the spinnaker halyard.
When the spinnaker halyard it is pulled it will hoist the spinnaker but also pull
the bowsprit out too. This achieved by the spinnaker halyard running through
a block tied to the bowsprit launch line.
1. Under the spinnaker sock at the bow you will find the bowsprit outhaul
line and block (see picture 4.9). Pull on this block and you will see the
bowsprit pull out to its sailing position.
2. Take the loose end of the spinnaker halyard, from the block at the base
of the mast, forward through the bowsprit outhaul block and then back
to the spinnaker halyard cleat (see picture 4.10).
3. Thread the end of the halyard through the cleat and through the hoist
block (see picture 4.11).
4. The halyard then runs over the top of the centreboard and through the
spinnaker drop block on the other side of the centreboard case. This
time being thread through form back to front so the tail will then go up
the spinnaker chute (see picture 4.12).
