SAIL TUNING

Rigging:

1) Slide the mast through the luff sleeve.
2) Thread the downhaul line through the base cleat. Do
not tension yet.
It is easier to attach your boom onto the mast with no downhaul
tension.
NOTE: It is okay to downhaul before outhauling. This will not
damage the sail, however it is easier to downhaul after the sail
has been fully outhauled.
3) Attach the front of the boom to the mast and outhaul the
sail to the boom length that is printed on the sail. The
suggested boom length is measured from the clew to the front of
the mast at the center of the boom cutout.
4) Downhaul the sail until the leech goes loose between
battens #2 and #3. Use the printed marks as a reference. For
light wind, the looseness should extend to mark #1. For
medium wind the looseness should extend to mark #2 and for
strong wind, the looseness should extend to mark #3. At the
head of the sail, batten #1 is designed to always be very loose.
See diagram below:
IMPORTANT DOWNHAUL AND OUTHAUL INFORMATION, PLEASE READ:
With the correct downhaul and outhaul tension, the luff end of the batten above the boom should
rest about 2 cm to 4 cm behind the mast. If the batten is touching the mast, you need more
downhaul and outhaul.
