3.11 - Hoisting the Mainsail
• Coil up the halyard and stow it in the halyard bag.
• Push the gooseneck onto the gooseneck mast collar.
• Hook the clew of the sail onto the hook at the end
of the boom. You may like to use the black webbing
strop on the clew as a handle to pull the sail into
position, making it easier to hook the mainsail clew
hook onto the sail.
• Take the downhaul rope and tie a large knot #3 in one end.
