Keeping the bowsprit fully extended, pull the tack line
(that emerges from the inboard end of the bowsprit)
tight and tie to the eyelet in the bottom of the bowsprit
channel with a bowline.
Tack line
Take the rope that emerges from the side of the inboard end
of the bowsprit and feed it through block A at the bow (from
starboard to port).
Block A
Tie a 30mm block from the asymmetric spinnaker
pack onto the end of this rope using a bowline.
Adjust the stopper knot at the other end of this rope so that
the bowsprit can retract fully into the boat without the 30mm
block hitting block A.
Make sure the 30mm block does not meet up with the
halyard block when the pole is extended.
