Attaching the Mainsheet:
Standard and Pro
1. Retrieve the mainsheet from the line
bag. With one end of the mainsheet tie a
bowline to the mainsheet snap shackle
(Figure 49).
2. Snap the mainsheet shackle onto the
bridle (Figure 50).
3. Continue the free end of the
mainsheet towards the bow along the
boom, making sure to go through both
ower boom blocks (Figure 51).
4. Lead the line down through the
ratchet block. Making sure that while
pulling in the mainsheet the block makes
a ratcheting noise. If the block does not
make a ratchet sound one of two things
could be the problem. First try running
the mainsheet through the block the
opposite way. If this does not work,
ocate the lever on the mainsheet block
and switch it to the ratchet position
(Figure 52).
5. In the free end of the line tie a
stopper knot (Figure 53).
Rigging the Rudder: Standard and Pro
Locate the rudder and tiller from the delivery kit. Remove the tiller
bolt and the two plastic washers from the end of the black tiller straps.
1. Align the Nylon washers
(one per side) with the hole in
the rudder located by the
rudder cheek.

2. Align the hole in the end
of the black tiller strap with
that of the holes in the Nylon
washers and rudder. The con-
tour of the tiller strap should
match that of the rudder
cheek. It is advised to insert
the washers as they are placed
between the tiller strap and
rudder to help prevent chafing.

to pivot smoothly).
