5. Jib
1. Ensure furling drum line is completely
wound onto the furling drum before you attach
the jib.
2. Th e furling line/cleat can be found on the
starboard side of the foredeck. (fi gure
25)
3. Unroll the jib and attach the jib tack to the
furling drum using the large shackle provided.
(Tape up the shackle and pin to prevent snag-
ging or damage to the sails and line during
sailing). (fi gure
26)
4. Clip the jib halyard swivel assembly on to
the forestay and fasten the head of the jib to
the swivel using the clevis pin and split ring.
(Tape up the shackle and pin to prevent snag-
ging or damage to the sails and line during
sailing). (fi gure
27)
5. Hoist jib by pulling the white halyard out
of the aft face of the mast, then hook the jib
halyard purchase system onto jib halyard wire.
(Ensure hook is facing aft to prevent
engaging in the mast track groove). (fi gure
28)
6. Tension the jib halyard purchase system
until the jib luff wire is taught. (fi gure
29)
7. Cleat and tidy away both rope ends in the
halyard pocket positioned on the aft face of the
general storage bag (underside of the mast but-
tress - port side) .
Note: If a loose gauge is used to measure the rig tension
do NOT exceed 24 units or 150 kg - measured on the shroud
0.75 meters above the vernier adjuster.
8. Find the centre of the jib sheet and pass it
through the clew of the jib, then pull the two
trailing ends of the sheet through the loop you
have created to lock them in place as shown.
(fi gure

9. Pass one jib sheet through either side of the
mast before threading them through their
respective port and starboard jib fairlead/
cleats.
(fi gure
31)
Tip: Best practice is to tie the sheet ends together in the
middle of the boat to prevent tangling and prevent sheets
from falling overboard.
(fi gure 32a &
32b)
10. Furl the jib by pulling the furling line.
Th e furling line/cleat can be found on the
starboard side of the foredeck just in front
of the jib sheet track/cleat.

6. Gennaker
1. Clip the gennacker pole "fl yaway" system on
to the front of the mast as shown. (Over time
the elastic may stretch and require tighten-
ing).
(fi gure
33)
2. Ensure the end of the gennaker halyard
taken from the base of the mast is free of
knots and tangles.
3. Take the gennaker halyard from the base of
the mast and pass forward, under the genna-
ker sock and round the gennaker pole outhaul
block. (Th e gennaker pole outhaul block is
attached to the rope led from the pole as
shown).
(fi gure

4. Th read the halyard aft, under the mast
buttress and through the gennaker halyard
cleat at the front of the centerboard case on
the starboard side.
(fi gure
35)
5. Th read the halyard through both the block
and the eyelet at the aft end of the gennaker
sock.
(fi gure
36)
6. Tie the end of the halyard to something such
as a batten or tiller extension and carefully
pass the end of the halyard up the sock until
you can grasp it from the front end of the gen-
naker sock opening.
(fi gure
37)
7. Th is is known as the downhaul end of the
gennaker halyard and should be temporarily
tied around the jib tack bar while the batten/
extension is removed from the gennaker sock.
(fi gure
38)
Note: Th e uphaul end of the gennaker halyard is
already tied around the jib tack bar from a previous
rigging exercise.
