5. Now attach the sail downhaul:
Pro Sail
: Tie the downhaul to the kicking-strap eye at the
bottom of the mast, thread it through the sail eye, and back
down to the cleat on the mast. Make sure that the
downhaul runs on either side of the boom.
Sport Sail
: Tie the downhaul on to the metal ring on the sail
sleeve, then pass it through the cleat on the front of the
mast. If you also have a Pro sail, coil and tie off the excess
downhaul. If you only have a Sport sail, you can cut off the
excess downhaul.
6. Tie a stopper knot in the end of the outhaul, and thread it through the right-hand hole at
the end of the boom, around the outhaul hook, and through the left-hand hole at the end of
the boom.
7. Tie the end of the outhaul elastic to the outhaul hook, using a bowline.
