3.8 Hoisting the Mainsail- Sleeved mast only
To complete this section, you will need:
• The mainsail (either the RS QUBA Sport reefing mainsail, or the RS QUBA Pro
battened mainsail)
1. Unroll the mainsail.
2. Take the end of the main halyard that is free from the mast track, and tie it to
the head of the mainsail using a knot on knot.
3. Put the top of the mainsail into the opening at the bottom of the mast track,
just above the gooseneck mast collar.
4. Holding the mainsail in line with the mast, pull on the end of the main halyard
that comes out of the mast.
5. 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.
6. When the mainsail is at the top of the mast, secure the main halyard in the
main halyard cleat on the mast.
7. Take the hook on the sail slider at the other end of the boom and, using the
webbing strap in the clew of the mainsail to pull the sail into position, attach
the hook of the sail slider onto the metal eyelet in the clew of the sail.
