RIGGING / SaIlS
SELF-TACKING JIB
l
Hoist the jib before you get under way, taking advantage of a windless
period of time.
- Secure the head.
- Secure the halyard to the slide-swivel.
- Secure the tack to the drum and secure the sheets.
- Insert carefully the bolt rope into the hole, hoist the sail and take care
you do not tear it.
- Haul the halyard taut enough but sway it up less than a sail on a
standard stay.
- Hoist it until the horizontal creases disappear (the tension of the luff
shall be adjusted after a few sea trips).
- Pull on the line from the cockpit to furl the jib.
REcommENDaTIoN
Hand pre roll the drum to set the jib furling line on it.
Pay attention to the drum furling direction: the sacrificial strip of the genoa
shall be wrapped outside.
Never force when you furl or unfurl the head sails in case it seizes.
make sure a halyard is not caught in the roller furler.
