Rigging the Outhaul: Laser Standard Models
1. Locate the outhaul line from the delivery kit
line bag. Tie a bowline with the outhaul line to
the fairlead located at the end of the boom
(Figure 29).
2. Lead the line through the grommet in the clew
of the sail and then back through the fairlead
(Figure 30).
3. Lead the line forward along the boom and cleat
off at the clam cleat on the top of the boom
(Figure 31). Tie a bowline in the free end of the
line (Figure 32).
Rigging the Clew Tie Down: Laser Standard
1. Locate the clew tie down line from the delivery
kit line bag.
2. Wrap the clew tie down line through the clew
grommet and around the boom two times
(Figure 33) and secure it with a square knot
(Figure 34). Be sure that the line runs on the
inside of the outhaul.
Tip: The clew tie down should hold the clew of the
sail close to the boom yet it should still be able
to slide forward and aft when adjusting the
outhaul.

2. Retrieve the micro block with becket from the
delivery kit. With a bowline, tie the free end of
the outhaul primary line to the micro block with
becket (Figure 36).
3. Locate the outhaul retainer from the line bag
and the two micro single blocks from the delivery
kit. Take one end of the outhaul retainer and tie
a bowline to one of the micro single blocks. With
the free end of the retainer line, wrap the line
around the mast, above the gooseneck, and tie a
bowline. Be sure to leave enough length in the
tail of the line to tie on the second micro single
block (Figure 37).
4. From the line bag find the outhaul secondary
line. Tie a bowline to the becket on the micro
block with becket (Figure 38). Lead the free end
of the line towards the mast and counter clockwise
through one of the micro single blocks
(Figure 39).
5. Continue the line back through the micro block
with becket and forward to the remaining single
block on the mast (Figure 39).
6. Lead the outhaul secondary down to the deck,
through the forkhead block, through the starboard
deck cleat and cleat off. Tie a bowline in the tail
to use as a handle.
Rigging the Clew Tie Down: Laser Pro
1. Locate the clew tie down line from the delivery kit line bag.
2. Wrap the clew tie down line through the clew grommet and
around the boom two times and secure it with a square knot
(Figure 40). Be sure that the line runs on the inside out the
outhaul.
Option: You can purchase (through your local dealer) a clew tie
down strap (Figure 41). Release the Velcro so that the strap is
straight. Wrap the longer end of the strap (the length without the
Laser logo) around the boom and through the d-ring. Continue the
strap around the boom and secure the Velcro. Thread the Velcro
strap with the Laser logo through the clew grommet and secure.
