11) Pull the halyard towards the back of the boat, until it locks in the cleat at the top
of the mast.
12) Once the halyard is cleated, bring it back around the shroud.
13) Take the Inglefield Clip and thread the end of the halyard through the hole.
14) Clip the Inglefield Clip on to the one attached to the elastic by the mast gate.
15) Pull the halyard through the Inglefield Clip until all the slack has been taken up.
Tie a figure-of-eight knot here to keep the clip in place.
16) Finally, coil up the halyard and stow it in the halyard bag.

17) Push the gooseneck onto the gooseneck mast collar.
18) Hook the clew of the sail onto the hook at the end of the boom (see picture 4.21).
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.
The Inglefield Clips stop the halyard flopping around when the mainsail
is hoisted. To lower the mainsail, unclip the two clips, pull the halyard
out of the cleat at the top of the mast, and pull the mainsail down.
