4.6 Rigging the boom.
To complete this section, you will need:
• The boom.
• The Gnav (“vang” backwards, as it is working upside) bar.
1. Connect the gnav bar to the slider at the front end of the boom (see
picture 4.13). Note: the slider fitted may look different to the picture but
it still works in the same way.
2. Connect the front of the boom to the gooseneck on the mast (see
picture 4.14).
3. Connect the upper end of the gnav bar to the bracket on the mast
above the gooseneck (see picture 4.15 and diagram 4.1).
4. Tie the gnav line to the cascade in the boat (see picture 4.16).
