Mast gate closed
Kicker attachment
3.5 Rigging the Boom
To rig the boom, you will need:
• The boom
• The downhaul
• The kicker cascade
• A flat-headed screwdriver
• The mainsheet
1. The outhaul line is already rigged on the boom.
2. Using a flat bladed screwdriver, undo the shackle for the top of the kicker
cascade and use it to attach the kicker cascade to the metal eye near the
front of the boom. Once attached you will not need to remove it, although it is
a good idea to occasionally check the shackle is tight.
Top Tip
If the wind is blowing, there will be a lot of pressure on the top of the mast making it wave
around. Consider finding somebody to help if you feel that you will struggle!
WARNING
When lifting the mast, make sure that there are no overhead power lines.
