The quick release shackle (18A) is fastened to the cringle (47) at the head of the
sail (Figure 7A). Hoist the sail by pulling on the jib halyard. When fully hoisted,
three to four clockwise turns of the rope tail should then be taken around the jib
halyard winch (Figure 2c). By holding the rope tail so that the turns bind on the
winch drum and at the same time operating the winch handle, the luff of the jib
can be set up very tightly. Coil and make up rope tail on the cleat below the
winch. Remove winch handle .
