7.5 - Hoisting the Mainsail
To hoist the mainsail:
a) Unroll the mainsail.
b) Take the end of the main halyard that emerges from the top of the mast, and tie it to the head
of the mainsail, by making a byte in the rope and passing it through the cringle and back over
the head of the sail and then pass the bobble through the byte and pull tight.
Put the top of the main sail into the
opening in the mast track, just above
the gooseneck mast collar, from the
starboard side of the boat.
c)
d)
Put the boat head to wind.
When the main sail is almost at the
top of the mast, slide the mainsail tack
slug into the track on the mast.
