12.3 The Boom

The boom carries the lower sheeting point of your main
sail and is controlled by the main sheet, the vang and the
optional traveler lines. Page 12.5 (Fig. 12.6, and 12.7)
contains illustrations demonstrating the boom with reef-
ing layout and the Mainsheet Purchase layout.

12.4 The Sails

As standard your Hunter is equipped with a furling jib
sail and a drop down main sail. The mainsail is the sail
attached to the aft track of the mast and hoisted with the
main halyard from the cockpit. The jib sail is attached to
the forestay and like the mainsail hoisted with the jib hal-
yard from the cockpit.
E
Most Hunter sailboats feature the control of the most
important sail controls from the cockpit. In addition to the
main and jib halyard you will find a main sheet line with a
winch at the aft edge of the cabin starboard side together
with the vang and or outhaul control (some optional). The
jib is controlled with the jib sheet control lines lead back
to the cockpit coming either side. In addition the jib furling
line located to the starboard side of the cockpit allows the
safe and easy unfurling and furling in of the jib sail.
