Your RS Feva will arrive with the gennaker halyard and bowsprit already rigged.
There is no need to unthread the halyard from under the foredeck when you are
rigging the gennaker. Should the halyard be accidentally pulled through, please
refer to Appendix 9.3 RS Feva Gennaker Pole System to re-rig.
Before stepping the mast you will need to complete the following steps:
• Shackle the gennaker halyard block to the uppermost
metal ring on the front face of the top mast.
Now step the mast, following the instructions in Section 3.5 - Stepping the Mast.
