2. Unscrew the set of screws located in front
of the daggerboard well. Align the holes of
the cam cleat and screw into place (Figure 5).
Be sure that the open end of the cleat is
facing towards the cockpit (Figure 6).
3. Locate the ratchet block and spring from
the delivery kit. In the cockpit, at the forward
end of the hiking strap, locate the eyestrap
(Figure 7).
4. Remove the shackle from the bottom of the
ratchet block and place it around the eyestrap
(Figure 7).
5. Place the spring over the eyestrap, and
compress. While the spring is compressed,
attach the block to the shackle with the pin
and ring (Figure 8).

fairlead and the clam cleat. Unscrew the two
screws located by the mast step (Figure 3).
Align the bullseye fairlead over the two holes

There are a few pieces of hardware that you
will need to install on your new hull before
continuing to rig your Laser. Locate the two
sets of screws that are positioned on the deck
of the boat (Figure A, far right image). One
set of screws will be forward of the
daggerboard well (Figure 1) while the other set
will be aft of the mast step (Figure 2).
