4.10 Rigging the Gennaker
To complete this section, you will need:
• 1 x RS Feva gennaker
• 1 x gennaker halyard block and shackle
• 1 x gennaker sheet
Before stepping the mast, you will need to:
1) Shackle the gennaker halyard block to the uppermost metal ring on the front face
of the top mast (see picture 4.29).
2) Uncoil the gennaker halyard (that is emerging through a hole in the foredeck).
3) Take the end of the gennaker halyard and, with the mast lying beside the boat,
thread it through the gennaker halyard block.
4) Secure the end of the gennaker halyard at the base of the mast.
HINT
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.
