3.9 Rigging the Jib
For this section, you will need:
• The RS QUBA jib
• The jib halyard
• The jib sheet
Before stepping the mast you will need to:
1. Take the jib halyard from the jib pack.
2. Thread one end of the jib halyard through the metal ring half way up the front
of the mast.
3. Pull the jib halyard so that you have two equal tails by the gooseneck. Secure
the jib halyard tails.
Now step the mast, following the instructions in Section 3.4 –
Stepping the Mast.
To rig the jib:
1. Unroll the jib.
2. Take the jib tack hook from the jib pack and tie it to the rope sewn into the
tack of the jib, using a knot on knot.
3. Insert the jib tack hook aft of the tying bar and push it down into the tying bar
recess. Rotate the jib tack hook 90˚ and pull up, ensuring that the hook clips
onto the tying bar.
