1)
Lay the sail flat on the ground and slide the mast through the
sleeve above the cams (do not attempt to atta ch the cams)
(see diagram 1). Thread the mast extension with no downhaul
tension; just cleat the downhaul line.
Caution: If using a two-piece mast, check and make
sure your mast is together at the joint.
2)
Attach the boom front to the mast and outhaul the sail to the
boom length (printed on the sail). The sail should be outhauled
flat in the boom area.
Quick Tip: Use the top clew grommet if your height is over
5'11" (180cm).
Quick Tip: Attach your boom at, or below the center of the
boom cut-out to prevent the top of the boom cut-out from
getting caught on the boom while downhauling.
3)
Attach the cams to the mast by pushing down on the batten
with the palm of your hand, approximately 12" (30cm) from the
luff sleeve, and pushing the cam on to the mast with your other
hand (see diagram 2).
Quick Tip: If the cams are difficult to put on the mast, check
that the batten tension webbing is loosened until the Velcro
touched the buckle (see diagram 3). This will allow the cam to
slide further into the sail and will make it easier to get the cam
on to the mast.
4)
Downhaul the sail until the leech goes loose between battens #3 and #4. For highwind sailing the
looseness should extend all the way to the back seam (see diagram 4a). To observe the looseness the sail
must rest on the boom and the tip of the mast. (i.e. do not elevate the head away from the ground.)
Quick Tip: The amount of downhaul tension will vary for
