Standard Rig
When using the Standard sail the
cunningham control line should be
confi gured to incorporate usage of the
D-ring on the forward edge of the luff tube
and the clam cleat on the front face of
the lower mast immediately above the
gooseneck collar as depicted.
Note: Th is ensures the mast is able to "freely rotate"
thus enabling the reefi ng option supported by the
standard rig to function.
Race Rig
When using the Race sail, tie a double
half hitch stopper knot in one end of the
cunningham line before passing the
remaining loose end:
a. Upward through the lug on the lower
port side of gooseneck collar.
b. Upward through the lug on the port side
of the inboard boom end gooseneck fi tting.
c. Th rough the tack eye traveling in a port/
left to starboard/right direction.
d. Downward and through the plastic
fairlead on the underside of the inboard
end of the boom traveling in a starboard/
right to port/left direction
e. Upward and for the second time, through
the tack eye traveling in a port/left to star-
board/right direction.
f. Downward and through the lug on the
starboard side of the inboard boom end
gooseneck fi tting.
g. Downward and through the clam
cleat on the starboard side of the mast
immediately below the gooseneck collar.
h. Downward and through the pulley block
immediately below the aforementioned
clam cleat before tying a 100 mm rope
handle at the end of the control line.
Note: Th is ensures the mast is NOT able to
"freely rotate" thus keeping the bent topmast
in parallel with the boom to maintain the best
sail shape possible.

tiller extension and tiller arm under the
mainsheet bridle strop at the aft/stern
edge of the boat.
7. Lower the rudder head assembly onto
the rudder gudgeons situated on the
stern/transom of the boat. (fi gure 19)
8. Ensure the integral rudder gudgeon clip (blue)
is successfully engaged, resulting in the rudder

through the upper pintle pin.
Note: To remove the rudder assembly from the transom gud-
geons, the rudder retaining split ring must be removed and
