towards the back of the boat.
3) Thread the mainsheet through the webbing strap (with the outhaul), and through
the block at the back end of the boom.
4) For a standard 1:1 mainsheet:
• Tie the mainsheet to the loop in the middle of the mainsheet bridle at the back
of the boat, using a knot on knot (see picture 4.19).
For an optional racing 2:1 mainsheet:
• Remove the mainsheet bridle by undoing the stopper knots under the
gunwhale.
• Take the D12 bridle from the Race Pack, and install it by reversing the
previous step.
• Take the block that is attached to the bridle and, pulling it forwards, line it up
with the centreline of the boat. Adjust the bridle as necessary.

5) Unroll the mainsail.
6) Take the end of the main halyard that comes down the mast from the bullseye
(not from the cleat), and tie it to the top of the mainsail using a knot on knot.
7) Put the top of the mainsail into the opening at the bottom of the mast track, just
above the gooseneck mast collar.
8) Holding the sail in line with the mast, pull on the other end of the main halyard.
9) Pull the mainsail up to the top of the mast. To make hoisting the mainsail easier,
keep it in line with the mast, especially when passing the batten pockets.
10) When the mainsail is at the top of the mast, lead the halyard tail that you have
been pulling around the outside of the shroud, and pull it forward.
