B. If you feed the front of the sail through your hands till you
come to the ‘Head’ (1) of the spinnaker sail. Attach Head of sail
to spinnaker halyard (2) coming from the top of the mast.
C. The spinnaker has two patches in the centre of the sail,
pass the spinnaker halyard (end from the chute mouth) through
the lower patch (3) (one with steel ring) then tie off onto other
patch (4) (one that is cross taped) through the cross tapes with
a bowline.
D. You can put sail back into the chute by pulling the spinnaker
halyard from the guide block (5) on the trampoline.
E. Ensure that the ‘Clew’ of the sail does not disappear down
the chute. It should remain poking out of the front of the chute.
(Tip; it is helpful if a second person holds the Clew of the
spinnaker sail at the front of teh chute whilst the first person
pulls the rest of the sail back into the chute).
F. Attach spinnaker blocks to eyelets on side of hulls. Ensure
rotation arrows on the block are facing in towards the centre of
the boat.
Feed spinnaker sheets through ratchet blocks and attach to the
Clew of the spinnaker sail.
