EZZY SAILS Infinity 2010 Rigging Manual

INFINITY
RIGGING GUIDE
Note:
Before rigging your Infinity for the first time, you must
adjust the cams to fit your mast. Please refer to the
guide titled "Custom Fit Your Cams To Your Mast".

Rigging Steps 1 to 10:

1) SLIDE MAST IN ABOVE CAMS: lay your sail on the ground and insert your mast into
the mast sleeve, sliding the mast ABOVE the cams.
2) CHECK ADJUSTABLE HEAD: once the mast has reached the top of the sail, walk up to
check that the mast tip is properly seated in the head cap. Also check to make sure that the
adjustable head is set to its shortest setting.
3) THE INITIAL DOWNHAUL: attach your downhaul line, but DO NOT TENSION IT YET.
4) THE INITIAL OUTHAUL: refer to your sail's boom specifications located at the tack and
outhaul to the maximum boom length. There are two clew grommet positions, we suggest using
the lower grommet.
5) POP CAMS ONTO THE MAST: open the velcro slots at the cam and pop the cams onto
the mast. Do this by pushing down on the batten while lifting the cam onto the mast (diagram 1).
Note: If you have difficulty getting the cams onto the mast, make sure you have no
downhaul tension and that you have your sail outhauled flat.
6) FINAL DOWNHAUL: downhaul your sail until the sailcloth on the upper leech goes slack
between battens #2 and #3. Use the three colored bars that are printed between battens #2 and
#3 as your downhaul indicator (diagram 2). For light wind, downhaul until the looseness extends
to the black bar. For medium wind, the looseness should extend to the red bar and for high
wind, downhaul until the looseness extends to the white bar. Note: the upper leech needs to
be on the ground to see the looseness.
Don't over-downhaul. The looseness on the leech should never extend in front of the printed
white bar between battens #2 and #3. If you are over-powered, apply more outhaul.
7) FINAL OUTHAUL: first, take note which color bar you are downhauled to between
battens #2 and #3, then release ALL outhaul tension while making sure the battens and cams are
all flipped the same way and the cams are fully rotated. This is your starting point at zero
outhaul. Next, choose the correct outhaul cord that matches the downhaul indicator color bar
shown in diagram 2. Then hold the guide cord out and adjust your boom to the end of the guide
cord (diagram 3a). Finally, outhaul the sail all the way to the end of the boom (diagram 3b).
Always match your outhaul to your downhaul. That means for light wind use the black bar on the
leech between battens #2 and #3 with the black outhaul cord, for medium wind, the red bar on
the leech with the red outhaul cord and for high wind, the white bar on the leech with the white
outhaul cord.
8) CHECK THE BATTEN TENSION: when correctly tensioned, there should be no
wrinkles running across the batten pockets. If the battens need adjusting, use the screwdriver key
that is stored at the tack of your sail and tighten the battens until the wrinkles through the
batten pocket disappear. WARNING: OVER-TENSIONING THE BATTENS COULD
DAMAGE THE SAIL.
Note: You only need to check your batten tension the first or second time rigging.
9) TACK STRAP: Wrap your downhaul line around the mast base. Tension the tack strap until
you get a small wrinkle running out from the corner, then wrap the tack strap over the
downhaul line and loop it under itself (see diagram 4).
10) CLOSE CAM OPENINGS: close the velcro openings at the cams.
